Sounds like he made it. But this is a disgusting situation of too many “good” people saying nothing and letting the brown shirts run rough shot.

I'm not usually one to revel in someone else's suffering but in this case I am allowing myself more than a modicum of schadenfreude.

The term FAFO was invented for this very moment.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Sorry, what was that Jonathan?

You wanted a ceasefire so much that you abstained from voting for one in 2023?

No wonder you lost your seat in 2024, you liar.

Image showing a teal-blue graphic with white text asking, “Did my MP vote For or Against calling for a ceasefire in Gaza?” Below the question is a search bar where users can enter a postcode, MP name, or constituency. Underneath is a circular portrait of a man in a suit and tie with short grey hair. The caption reads: “Jonathan Ashworth (Leicester South, Labour).” Beneath that, in a large white box with bold grey letters, it states: “DID NOT VOTE.”

Trump is too chicken to release the Epstein files and take his humiliation and downfall like a man.

And too many have pinned their allegiance to the demented paedophile & Russian asset and are willing to burn the whole country they profess to love, to the ground.

And now that throne is occupied by a naked man, whispered to be bound by kompromat, withdrawing aid from the most vulnerable.

The vulnerable that his empire’s selfish policies helped create:

the children of wars, coups, and sanctions

born beneath the banners of “freedom.”

The world abdicated its own leadership, crowning America out of fear, not faith. Pumping tribute into its bloated coffers to avoid a bogeyman.

For eighty years, the shadow of communism made the President of the United States the de facto Emperor of the World.

🚨 ALERT: Police Scotland is developing plans to use live facial recognition technology

Facial recognition tech:
🕵️ is mass surveillance
❌ is NOT compatible with Scotland’s human rights obligations
⚠️ disproportionately impacts racialised communities

We need to oppose this: amn.st/6008AqWA0

Police Scotland has decided move ahead with the use of Live Facial Recognition technology by law enforcement in Scotland.
Amnesty firmly opposes the use of this dangerous technology.

"You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?"

"Because that's what they are."

Growing up Heseltine was a Tory bastard, but at least he was OUR Tory bastard.

Not like the Russian assets we have today.
