Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

Poor Tommy Robinson. What possible reason could the border police have had for stopping a known criminal who is being investigated by HMRC from taking £13,000 in cash abroad while driving a Bentley that wasn’t his and refusing to answer their questions? It’s an outrage!

What is the peace process for the #WestBank ?

I guess there isn't one. There never has been, not for Gaza and not for the West Bank. Netanyahu has made it clear there will be no Palestinian state.

Starmer's party is Labour in name only. Selling state-wide surveillance as a safety measure. Trading privacy for a pat on the head from Tony Blair. If it was the Tories, we'd riot; now it's just another Tuesday.

Has Israel stopped starving & murdering Palestinians? Have all the Palestinian hostages been released? Are the settlements being dismantled? Is the occupation over? Do Palestinians have the right to return to their homes? Do we have accountability &justice for Israels war crimes?

Disney isn’t innocent.

While Gaza burned, Disney’s CEO donated $2 million to Israel — and Marvel prepared to release an Israeli Mossad “superhero.”

Actors who say “Free Palestine” are silenced. IDF soldiers become Disney stars.

Starving two million people in Gaza — including a million children — is a war crime.

We’ve witnessed hundreds starve to death from Israel’s manmade famine; countless more will die unless Gaza is flooded with aid.

Keir Starmer must demand Israel’s lifts its illegal siege NOW.

“Make Brexit work” by raising taxes to stem the ongoing losses.

"There is no doubt that the impact of Brexit has been severe and long-lasting", Rachel Reeves tells Sky News, as she suggests that taxes will now have to go up as a result to "make sure the numbers add up".

I'm sorry, but if he didn't have the courage to speak what he knew to be the truth about Brexit to the people who elected him, then he's been putting his career above the country all along. How are we supposed to trust him on the NHS or any other issue now? He lost all credibility.

SNP have been voted in by the Scottish people despite the UK gov using all the levers they can to try and stop any indy party being able to have a majority. As soon as any UK party get a hold of Holywood it will be dismantled mark my words fellow Scots. Dinnae be daft vote SNP

Scotland's No1 Comrade @scotlandscomrade.bsky.social · 10h

The current rhetoric from Labour is that they see themselves best placed to stop another SNP term of office as 19years of SNP governance has been enough.

Contrast that argument that since 1708 we have been dominated by unionist rule from Westminster that currently has NO majority within Holyrood.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.
