If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

It should be the law that all bookshops have chairs.

No country in the world needs regime change as much as the United States does

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

Would be a little less gung ho if it depicted murdering 200 school girls youtu.be/GsKr_QPPde4?...

The French once again taking no bullshit.

Draft dodger Trump doesn't think NATO troops pulled their weight in Afghanistan ...

Say what you will about Hitler, at least he knew which countries he was invading.

Civil war in the US this year ?

Accurate.

imagine a cheery BBC news report in 1938 breezily asking "which countries could be in Hitler's sights after the Sudetenland?"

Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

I wonder how many people fully appreciate that Trump just falsely declared the blue state of Oregon to be in a state of Rebellion against the United States so he could deploy active-duty military from the Department of War to kill American citizens Meanwhile, he *pardoned* the January 6 terrorists

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

I’m no massive fan of Palestine Action, but I find it odd that they are a proscribed “terrorist” organisation, whereas there is almost complete silence over an organised march that involved violence against the police & calls to overthrow the democratically elected govt through violent means. 🤷‍♂️

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

To be a political reporter in 2025, you have to be gullible enough to believe that a convicted felon who launched a violent coup attempt is worried about crime. Or you just have to be willing to pretend you’re that gullible. Either way, we deserve better.

So what precisely do the right want to do about the white working classes? Certainly not go to university, as they want numbers down. Nor to have a unionised manufacturing job, as they don't want unions. No, they just want pawns as part of their culture wars. They don't give a toss.

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

The BBC were celebrating the anniversay of Live Aid only days ago... meanwhile the exact same kinds of photos, the exact same kind of death by starvation is coming out of Gaza ... and so little is done, no compassion, not calls for it to end...just banning of groups calling attention to it.

Where is the moral panic? Where are @lisanandy and @Keir_Starmer? Or are we saying Rod Liddle can use his national platform to call for state violence and it’s fine But if Bob Vylan chants about actual state violence it’s “incitement”? At least try to be consistent.

In grim "there's always a tweet" news.

Not the same indeed.

"‘Point-Blank Range’: How Israel Executed 15 Medics and Rescue Workers in Gaza" Writing for Zeteo, Diana Buttu says she had a difficult time writing this essay because she could not stop thinking about the level of evil needed to carry this out.

Look, for over a year, one brave Cassandra was warning you that massive tariffs were coming and that they’d wreak havoc on the economy. But no one listened to Donald Trump.

This is ridiculous. It's just the dumbest thing I've ever seen: a nation destroying itself to prevent the sale of cheap products. We can't keep getting stupider at this pace, as a species. Within another generation or two we won't be able to speak whole sentences.

But go ahead and storm the Capitol. You’ll get a pardon for that.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The Prime Minister should show British leadership on Ukraine by inviting President Zelenskyy to address Parliament on Monday. I'm proud that the UK has been Ukraine's staunchest ally from the start. We mustn't falter in the face of Trump's bullying now.

Might as well post something rather than just read everyone else's posts.
