Well, guess that really seals the deal, now Trump really has to get that Nobel peace prize next year, right?
My heart goes out to all the people in #Venezuela who already have a hard enough time trying to live their lives in peace without the invasion of a madman...

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

Honestly, I love Facebook's ad break feature. Basically after scrolling for one post, it interrupts me for five seconds to force me to look at an ad, which is just long enough to realize I hate that app and should not be wasting any time there. Thank you Facebook!

The State of Florida has now blacklisted several European institutions, including 3 Belgian universities, as retaliation for boycotting the genocidal regime in Israel. The relentless blackmailing from American state actors to dissuade others from upholding moral values is preposterous and must end.

Another extrajudicial murder has been committed in international waters by US troops under the command of Donald J. Trump and Pete Hegseth, when they attacked a vessel with 6 souls on board without due process in clear violation of international law. These are crimes against humanity.

I would not like to be the one paying the White House's ketchup bill today.

Wow, that speech on how Ms. Machado was selected for the Nobel peace prize was amazing. This was not merely a Trump snub; this was the committee making clear they have awarded the prize to the anti-Trump, someone whose values are diametrically opposite of his worst authoritarian tendencies. Bravo.

My sincerest condolences to the Norwegian and Venezuelan people, who are likely to feel swift and immediate economic sanctions or even military reprisals by noted Nobel Peace prize nominee Donald Trump.

Clearly, Merz doesn't want to repeat his country's historic error toward the Jewish people.
So he repeats his country's historic mistake of siding with genocide.

Not every Jew is Israeli.
But every genocide is genocide.

2 years ago today, Hamas committed an atrocious attack against civilians who were peacefully enjoying a music festival, brutally ending the lives of 1200 people, wounding thousands more, and traumatizing millions. I condemned that attack emphatically that day, and I condemn it today.

So, the USA is openly committing war crimes in the Caribbean sea, the illegal shuttering of already funded USAID operations have already cost the lives of thousands of people, ICE is raiding entire buildings and deporting people to concentration camps in El Salvador. International community, u home?

Trump calling scientists “stupid people” on the stage of the United Nations while completely misrepresenting climate science is truly insane.
And of course the president who spends more time on the golf course than in the White House rants about Obama playing golf.

So, starting tomorrow, Kimmel will be back. I wonder how much their cowardice ended up costing Disney; though I don’t think ‘ended’ is the right word. It’s not like we’re all gonna resub to Disney+ tomorrow and pretend this didn’t happen… Their actions have caused lasting damage to free speech.

Hi there, English Premier League; what would you call sex education for gay men? And what is your opinion on the subject?
September 21, 2025 at 6:44 PM
Alright, my American friends, since Trump is only ramping up his attacks on the media after Disney bent the knee and canceled Kimmel: this is not a drill. From now on, we will see critical voices be suppressed, bullied, silenced and punished with increasing brutality.

Oh, how Republicans wailed about their free speech being attacked, back when tech companies started attaching fact checks to their conspiracy theories about vaccines. I would always reply that freedom of speech means protection from state prosecution for opinions.
Guess where we are today.

So I just canceled my Disney+ subscription. I'm assuming the live chat on their customer service page is AI, but on the off chance it's not, I was very friendly to the potential human while making clear how I feel about the heinous cowardice of the company's leadership today.

So, the UN has issued a report, clearly accusing Israel of genocide against the people of Gaza. Israel of course claims these are lies, but this same day, they have launched a full scale ground offensive in Gaza City, aimed at complete destruction of the city.

Well that was way too close. Seriously, EBU, great job. We're you really expecting all your participants to travel to a country involved in an active genocide next year? So happy for Austria, and great job winning what I deem second place to Estonia! #Eurovision
