It's ridiculous that they try and say they didn't know the Welsh Leader of their own political party! If true, that's inept, as you should obviously be communicating w/ the Welsh Leader of your political party! But, it's obviously not true! The fact they try and blur the truth about this shows a lot

Senator Jeff Merkley @merkley.senate.gov · 16h

There's a name for unidentified security forces throwing protesters into unmarked vans at the direction of an authoritarian government: fascism.

Senate Democrats supported the amendment.

50 Senate Republicans opposed it....so it failed.

Tells you a lot.

Yay, we can all go to pubs & buy pints we already can't afford 🙃

They should have been doing this from day 1! I'm shocked at how inept it's all been! Brexit has destroyed the economy, as backers of Farage made fortunes at our expense! They should be shouting the names of Farage's backers from the rooftops all day, every day! Can't believe they haven't already!

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Think that's what I'll end up doing. I love the idea of Bluesky/Mastodon decentralised, non billionaire owned actual social media

Ditto. Will be harder to leave FB as is sort of a diary from when my Son was born, but, I hate the over reach and social destruction orgs like Meta are causing. Social media should be for the people, not manipulative algorithms for the super rich!

The irony of "reform" now loving an "unelected bureaucrat"

Didn't realise the Morning Star was on here already! The only print newspaper worth reading, imo. Give them a follow > @mstaronline.bsky.social

I'm shocked a guy who changed the name of the Department of DEFENSE to the Department of WAR didn't win a prize regarding peace 🙃

Lee Thumwood @lt14gjc.bsky.social · 1d

You're telling me the guy who dropped the largest non nuclear bomb in history, with a blast radius of over a mile ISN'T going to win a peace prize? 😤

Lee Thumwood @lt14gjc.bsky.social · 1d

Can't believe the guy who armed & financed the destruction of Gaza as he drone strikes boats off the coast of Venezuela, as his crew shoot Priests in the head at home didn't warrant a "peace" prize 🙃

Lee Thumwood @lt14gjc.bsky.social · 1d

Obama dropped more bombs than Bush! No-one bombing people should be given a Peace prize! Trump especially shouldn't get it! He's armed&financed a regime accused of genocide in 1 of the highest courts on the planet as they dropped more tonnes on Gaza than London/Dresden & Hamburg during WW2 combined

With all the talk of "peace" prizes > the people who should be awarded a peace prize are all the Drs from around the world & from Gaza who volunteered trying to save people in the most brutal & dangerous of circumstances. Absolute heroes! Please support @doctorswithoutborders.org

Some women were actual founders of antifa, not just ‘girlfriends’

Sophie Scholl was a member of White Rose, an anti-Nazi group at the university of Munich. She was murdered by the Nazi regime (for treason) on 22 February, 1943 She was only 21 years old
