Meet Maple.
She’s a 3-year-old, 70 lb sweetheart with the kindest eyes and the gentlest heart.Maple once had a family who loved her… but when pain made it hard for her to walk, she was surrendered to a Seattle shelter.💔
Even then, she never stopped wagging her tail. That’s Maple all love🥹

It's pretty bonkers that the British press would bring up Jeremy Corbyn appearing on Russia Today a couple of times in the early 2000s at every opportunity, yet the Welsh leader of Reform literally pled guilty to taking money directly from the Kremlin and... Farage gets to shrug it away.

Meanwhile the world's media are bigging up Trump for his "achievements" in the Middle East where he hasn't worked for a lasting peace, only a (very welcome) ceasefire & hostage exchange. He didn't do it on his own but wants all the credit.

Some hostages were indeed released previously. Has anyone in the mainstream media even mentioned that?

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

Trump helping to negotiate the release of the hostages in Gaza and hopefully end the war is a good thing.

And it does not, in any way, mitigate or excuse the authoritarian dystopia he and his cronies are imposing on the US. Our dark path is no more lit today than yesterday.

Let’s not forget when the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - the UK was on course to make the list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights

We need to protect the ECHR, not leave it

Let's make sure everyone knows about the activities that senior Reform members have gotten up to.

These are not people we can trust to run out country.

Make sure people never forget!
