We should all be very afraid of what this idiot president is willing to do to save his polling numbers, with the understanding that he was dumb and dangerous enough to start the war without realizing Iran would close the Strait. END/

Winston Churchill sums Trump and Republicans up quite nicely.

Matt Vickers MP made a Conservative party video about the removal of Churchill from the fiver... and Vickers says:
"As Churchill himself once said 'a nation that forgets its past has no future.'
It's a FAKE QUOTE Churchill never said that.
Vickers is a shadow minister

“She admitted that the bill actually would require married women and anyone else who has changed their name to re-register before they vote….
It is easy to imagine how state agencies such as the DMV or Social Security offices, which already…

snl's best sketch last week: "can we make our guest host corpse?"
I'm trying to think who this idiocy is for, who would say: I wasn't going to vote Labour but now they've blocked a clearly exceptionally bright Sudanese woman from doing a postgraduate course in computational biology at Cambridge, I'm all in?

YOU WILL NEED A $160 PASSPORT TO VOTE IF TRUMP'S BIG FUGLY SAVE AMERICA ACT PASSES!
It's a poll tax!
In America, you shouldn't have to pay $160 in order to vote!
ALSO, obtaining a passport CAN TAKE MONTHS!
But Badenoch sees things in absolute terms and she has had enough of what she calls “separatism”. Her new Commission will tackle this perceived evil. It “will set out the culture that we want people to assimilate into. What we expect and what we will enforce”. While that last word might come as a shock to sensitive souls, the Conservative leader relished it. “Conference, we are bringing enforcement back to this country,” she trilled. “We tried to be nice to everybody, avoided tough decisions and it didn’t work. No more.”

The Save Act discourages you from registering:
😧Your driver's licence won’t do
😧Passports take time & 💸
😧Birth certificates aren’t enough if you changed your name.
🙏Call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 to resist!
I don't usually care much for conspiracy theories, but that is usually only because they aren't so extremely demonstrably true.
We are actually witnessing a coordinated attack on all our democracies by the richest people in the world.
World War 3 is a class war!!!

In two minutes this doctor explains why anti-trans hysteria is completely unscientific and based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how transitioning facilitated through the medical system actually works
It's quite incredible how it's somehow taboo to say the obvious truth about the UK, which is that it's a well integrated society where most people just get on with their lives no problem. Apart from a core of extremely insulated journalists and politicians who refuse to be integrated.
Catching up with #Ellis & it's great. But just wish they'd actually filmed it where it's supposedly set. The buildings just don't look right.
Oh, fucking marvellous. First I've bloody heard of this

This woman is amazing. Listen to her.
“She’s the exception, I am the rule.”
Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!
The irony of a draft dodger telling anyone to show some guts makes me sick.
A screenshot of a post by Maya Forstater on X (formerly Twitter). The main image is a dark, blue-tinted selfie of Forstater in the foreground, wearing glasses and a patterned scarf. Behind her is a large, crowded concert arena with a brightly lit stage in the distance. Below the photo is a quote-repost from "The Lies They Tell" (@sarahstuartxx) which reads: "Join me tonight as I cover live the thrills and spills of the Trans Mission Live concert. Turns include Zack Polanski, Beth Ditto and a bunch of people you’ve never heard of. Literally hundreds of people attending the #FoxKillersVanityProject"
A screenshot of a post by Julie Bindel on X featuring the hashtag #TransMission. The image shows a candid, side-profile photo of a woman with short dark hair wearing a long-sleeved green shirt. She is leaning against a black metal railing in what appears to be a dimly lit venue with purple ambient lighting.
It's really funny how Maya Forstater and Julie Bindel spend all their time online fearmongering about how trans people are dangers to women and children yet they went to a stadium full of 10k trans people and nothing at all happened to them.

A brilliant night at Transmission live to show solidarity with the trans community - raising money for @notaphaseorg.bsky.social and @goodlawproject.org
BTW, the 'consultation' about having 'greater Lincolnshire' & a mayor' received 0.03% responses, mostly against. Many of us never knew about it till it closed, bc nothing as sensible as leafleting each home was done. Complaints were ignored.
Perfectly obvious he first became aware of them after the bombing started.
“We can take them at their word.”
So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.
Fuck my bastard Christ these people are such gullible lickspittle morons.
There’s something sublimely Badenoch about raging at a new design for banknotes when the war that she does/does not support is about to make banknotes worth a lot less
