Nia made a new doggie yesterday, they clicked like old friends and had a fun-to-watch play session. Note Nia’s world class feint and the Australian Shepherd / Berger des Alpes mix’s right hook response. Poetry in motion, as if choreographed. Taigo and Bella look on.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

They chose instead to go after trans ppl, to cut benefits, to demonise migrants, to appease the Far Right - things that no one who voted Labour voted for.

Labour decided that what they had to do is (fail to) defeat Reform when they actually had to reward the anti-Tory vote with non-Tory policies.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

A brilliant performance from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #bbcqt last night.

Voters who saw it will be in no doubt that the Green Party is about way more than just the environment.

And that Labour and the Tories are done and the battle is between Reform and the Green Party.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

He always has the ear of the Dear Leader and always has, and has never been on the outs or anything but the most trusted advisor. We recognize his power and animus, and his knowledge of and study of Fascism and his habit of copying the bits that worked before. That’s why he’s so dangerous.

onedrop1.bsky.social @onedrop1.bsky.social · 2d

No one says he’s smart. He’s ruthless and is one of the most powerful and influential actors in a government that is successfully implementing Fascism on multiple fronts and levels. He also drives and implements the central and most important policy / ideology mass deportations / white supremacy.

I see from CNN that Canada’s economy is in “crisis”.

A word of unsolicited advice to everyone: don’t believe a single word any US media says about Canada. None. They don’t know shit about us and they don’t care.

It’s in the US’ interest to describe us as being in crisis. Not ours.

Now Carney wants to zombie it back to life to appease Trump.

Relief for Canada from U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum may come thanks to renewed interest in a pipeline project first proposed more than 15 years ago.

That’s because he’s a complete Dominionist freak, a deeply closeted religious fanatic who mutually monitors porn with his son.

He’s not like many other folk, in so many ways.

Somebody said he's like Ned Flanders without the charm, but it's even older than that, he's like a walking parody of the Nixon-era Silent Majority from 50 years ago. I can't believe anyone from Louisiana is this much a white bread square, even they are a white guy from Shreveport

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

Our media lets us down badly :

Labours accomplishments - rarely mentioned

Nigel Farage’s house - dropped/ignored

Nathan Gill’s admission of working for Russia - zilch

Russia/Iran funding Reform/Farage - silence

Instead they spread lies on the Budget/MPs/anything to discredit Labour

Why????

This guy is such a dumb dipshit. How do you have “plenary authority” when you are using authority under power delegated by a statute (which you just cited) that contains specific conditions and limitations?? I am guessing he realized how idiotic he sounded the minute it came out of his mouth

Blanche Devereaux @gingerkap23.bsky.social · 3d

Miller oopsie doodled and said the quiet part out loud, talking about DT aka himself having “plenary authority”:

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations
