No president in American history has done more to demean women, damage their lives, undermine their freedoms...to actively abuse them and then to attack his victims...than Donald Trump. And she has enabled it, defended it, cashed in on it.The Trumps are active, undeniable enemies of women and girls.

Jeez. I thought I had seen everything but this! It’s almost impossible to believe it has actually just been posted by the White House. They’ve just presented the horrors of war as some kind of sick video game. Shameful, disgraceful, obscene and utterly horrific.

Every war zone is also a SACRIFICE ZONE for the climate, for food, for future generations.

A truly green and peaceful world means stopping the arming of destruction and holding power to account for every life and ecosystem lost.

Daily reminder that we'd be at war right now if Farage or Badenoch were PM.

My other half and I have just seen the @mikewozniak.bsky.social show The Bench at Chelmsford Theatre. It is so funny and clever. We had a great evening. Thank you for coming to Essex, Mike!

Remember these women? Have you been too distracted to think of them? That’s what they’re hoping you’ll do-forget about them. Please don’t. Demand all the files, investigation and prosecution. Justice delayed is justice denied.

I know it won't make any difference to his voters, who pay no attention to what's actually going on, and think foresight is for pussies and consequences can be wished away.

But if Farage was PM, we'd now be in a moronic, illegal war he demanded we join 2 days ago, and now thinks is a disaster.

Farage, one of the most duplicitous people alive today. A conman. Five days between these headlines. He’s despicable.

Last night, Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty. πŸ“ˆ

Disappointingly, the Tories and Reform UK voted against the measures. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life. 🌹

Make this go viral; it pisses me off that Epstein Elites and their horrible and cruel abuse of power is slipping off the front pages. That should not happen. We have capacity for more than one major thing at a time. In the 60’s it was war, civil rights, womens rights and we fought on all fronts

Another important article that should stay on the front pages, another example of how the Epstein Elite could pay for anything, buy anything, and almost anyone to continue their horrible abuse of power.

It turns out the U.S. did a β€œdouble tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Running a business on your own can be challenging at times.

Today feels like a good day to say that I'm proud of what I've built. And I'm proud to be part of a community of women who are out there doing the same.

Happy International Women's Day.

The r/w British punditocracy is wrong about everything, all the time.
Support austerity! Vote for Brexit! Give Boris a chance! Give Liz a chance! Trump won't be so bad!
Now, they want the country to a) support an indiscriminate, illegal war and b) vote for Reform.
Let's ignore them this time eh?

This mass killing of children is unconscionable. It bears the hallmarks of a war crime.

Trump & Hegseth must answer for the US's role & they must be held accountable. People deserve the full truth. There must be an immediate & transparent investigation.

So it now appears based on many media reports that we bombed a girls elementary school and killed 175 people, and right after that Hegseth was beating his chest in a press conference saying we weren’t going to worry about β€œstupid rules of engagement” anymore.
