And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance, will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.
On this day in 1662, Judge Matthew Hale began presiding over a witchcraft trial in England. He ultimately sentenced 2 "witches" to death. Spoiler: They weren’t really witches.
While overruling Roe, the Sup Ct repeatedly cited Hale as a “great” & “eminent” legal authority. #WeTheMen

🚨👀 Nigel Farage says Reform UK never promised to cut council tax. An election leaflet says otherwise...
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
That war is too sterile. Put them in the trenches in Ukraine and hear them scream like the fat fucks they are when not confronting unarmed mothers

I wonder if Farage and Badenoch are having a little think about whether they should have been so gun-ho about supporting this war. You sure that's going to be a popular long-term position pal?
Sorry from all us Brits who didn't want to join in with Operation Epstein Furore.
British comedy duo Larry and Paul's hilarious take on news from the Middle-East!

@stellacreasy.bsky.social: "When we ask ourselves what is holding Britain back from being more productive, it is not immigrants or women who don’t have enough babies – whatever the claims of the right. Instead, tackling the cost of living crisis and confronting division should be our priorities."
I never get the argument against this. It's not "just let anyone in!!" it's "give a safe, controlled method of allowing asylum claims that doesn't involve a rubber dinghy in the North Sea".
The current approach just cedes all the control to criminals.
We need safe and legal routes for refugees.
George Monbiot explains what’s often missing in the debate about asylum seekers and refugees: "My worry is that we end up talking about what's good for us and forget about what's good for people."

No wonder why the world hates us:
“The only ones who need to worry are Iranian do you think they’re gonna live.”
Jeremy Corbyn • @jeremycorbyn • 1d $ ... We cannot let Keir Starmer drag this country into another illegal war. That's why I tabled a Bill to require Parliamentary approval for the foreign use of British bases. Today, I urged the Prime Minister to fulfill the promise he made in 2020 and pass this legalisation, now.
They were terrified of this guy because of the social forces he unlocked, quite accidentally. But he’s a letter-writing, petition collecting kind of politician, he thinks he’s there to enable others. A proper populist monster would lay waste to the British political landscape.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
"About 800 Patriot missiles were used in just THREE DAYS of fighting in the Middle East- MORE than Ukraine has had during the ENTIRE war!" VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY, President of Ukraine OCCUPY DEMOCRATS"About 800 Patriot missiles were used in just THREE DAYS of fighting in the Middle East- MORE than Ukraine has had during the ENTIRE war!"

A deranged, vengeful man so close to death in charge of the world's biggest arsenal. What could go wrong?
Why is it that all those staunch UK patriots waving flags and shouting about ‘taking back control’ are urging us to be subservient to a foreign power and join them in an illegal war?
normally i’m against cloning but with him i’ll make an exception
As the mom of a trans youth I appreciate this so very much. I’m not a Christian but appreciate the ones who interpret their infinite, loving god to be gender less & also all genders. Bc based on that belief, it makes it a sin to bully, harass or otherwise do harm to trans youth. #ThisIsAllyship 🥲
“Dear Diary,
Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”

Iceland to hold August 29 referendum on reviving EU membership talks. Politico, 6 March.
Remember how eurosceptics argued that if we left the EU, other countries would follow? Look how the complete opposite has happened instead...
If there were credible allegations against a Democratic president that he had punched a 13 yr old girl in the face after she bit his penis while he was raping her, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 and calling for his arrest/execution let alone his impeachment.
