In its 2026 World Press Freedom Index, Reporters Without Borders ranks the United States 64th, behind Botswana and down seven places from 2025, citing Trump administration actions in the decline. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/us-falls-t...

Excellent breakdown of this study and its findings. Great work.

Zuckerberg actually woke up one day and thought “I know what people want - a little AI me, to sit on their desktop and judge them all day every day!” Like a little MS paperclip, but somehow even less human, and more irritating.

Carney: "The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over." *thunderous applause*

The BBC asked Karoline Leavitt to clarify the White House stance on use of nukes. Her 100% absolutely reassuring response: “The Iranian regime has until 8PM Eastern Time to meet the moment and make a deal with the United States. Only the President knows where things stand and what he will do."

Can we just give this guy the McDonalds Peace Prize, a nice white jacket and a padded cell already?

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

BREAKING: Fox News reports PAM BONDI HAS BEEN FIRED.

At least their vision on housing is consistent with their vision on healthcare, I guess.

Fetterman lied.

My GBNews-watching mother-in-law when I asked her why I should be allowed to stay in the UK as an immigrant: “Well, you’re white!” What can you possibly say to people who no longer consider plain racism to be a bad thing?

I think I’d sooner go off-grid. ground.news/article/tesl...

I think the top government officials wearing shoes that don’t fit because they’re too afraid not to, just perfectly describes the moment we’re in.

Using an Orwell quote is so apt, but the fact that it’s fake is just perfect.

So this is a ‘major combat operation’ but not a war? I’d love to see the White House explain how anyone bombing the US and killing its leadership would not be considered an act of war.

To anyone wondering why it matters, there is a massive risk with your data being kept in a place where you may have no data protection rights. Imagine your daily movement information being sold to someone who would love to know when you’re not at home.

Yes it’s a complete mystery 🤣🫣

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again. The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot. Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!

Pam Bondi: “If we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system collapses.” By Jove, I think she's got it!

Every American needs to watch this:

The cynicism of wanting to destroy the world to be able to pick up the pieces cheap is just staggering. This should be all anyone needs to see to understand what these people really want from this right wing extremism - it’s not ideology, it’s sheer manipulation and opportunism.

Snowflakes

Marine Le Pen is funded by Russia. "meeting yesterday with the French right wingers, including Le Pen, her husband, about refinancing the National Front Party because apparently a good part of their money comes from Russia. Two thoughts here, these guy seemed like idiots, pure Ruritania"

We now seem to be experiencing the shitcircle where Trump is trying to distract from the Epstein Files with ICE, while at the same time the DOJ is trying to distract from ICE by dropping more Epstein Files.

I see we’re already reaching the “I was only following orders” stage. I look forward to seeing how that works out.

If you haven’t read Anne Frank’s diary recently, I strongly encourage you to. "What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it happening again."

Thank you for the important work you do @vjaybomb.bsky.social

“They stayed a little back, off the front lines." Our men and women fought and died right alongside yours. I have friends and colleagues who stood on IEDs, still suffer PTSD to this day or never came home at all. This absolute lie is so despicable - I don’t have the words to express my anger.

Bully be bullying. Get fucked, Trump. ground.news/article/trum...

… and blocked

Every kid learns at some point that they can’t just take another kid’s medal and say they won the race… … except Trump. Trump has been taking other people’s stuff and calling it his own his entire life, and nobody’s ever explained to him that it doesn’t count.

BREAKING: Denmark announces historical claim to North America 🇩🇰 Our Vikings were there in 1021 CE. 755 years before USA existed. If we’re doing territorial grabs based on ”who was there first”... we’ll see ourselves in. #Vinland (Wineland, red. Han)

The concept of gamifying law enforcement is just more evidence that it’s not about law enforcement.

My father-in-law was one of those 50,000 in 2024. He was made to wait over 12 hours in a hard plastic seat in A&E before losing consciousness. He died shortly after, on Christmas Eve. This improvement by Labour isn’t just nice to have - it will save lives.

I’ve started reading these in the voice of Herr Miller doing a comedy German accent. Seems more authentic somehow.

That’s a nice democracy you guys had there. You had freedom of speech and human rights. Now it’s state media propaganda and door-to-door searches by masked police. I really hope someone over there turns this around somehow because this is horrifying.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

After campaigning during the local elections criticising councils for raising Council Tax, Reform UK In Worcestershire are planning to raise it by 10%. Liars and hypocrites.

This is insane - going around kidnapping leaders he doesn’t like, just days after berating Ukraine for supposedly targeting Putin’s home. ground.news/article/madu...

JUST IN: House Judiciary Committee releases a full transcript and video of former special counsel Jack Smith's closed-door deposition before the Republican-led panel earlier this month.

The utter hypocrisy and cynicism of supporting Trump while trying to make this a talking point is absolutely mind blowing. ground.news/article/civi...

Friend Beach Nachos … sounds good to me!

Man who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax and moved his business to Singapore after the Brexit he voted for wants your sympathy.
