Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Kemi Badenoch’s speach is a doozy

“15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now, Poland is growing twice as fast as we are!”

What happened in those 15 years, Kemi? Oh, yes, the Tory Party & Brexit!

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Guys, who did your graphics? Crimes against mathematics.

You have the jump from 70k to 80k the same size as the jump from 80k to 85k.

Do better.

BlueSky hive mind - I’d always thought it was

‘Pretty please’

as in asking really, really nicely.

But, reading Kristin Hannah ‘Home Front’ turns out it’s actually

‘Pretty pleas’

as in a few pleas that are pretty!

Which is correct?

It’s built for cars. The buses are baffling. But it’s got the most energy efficient housing in Britain. What did it take to build a city from almost nothing?

Drove to Handsworth today to my mother’s grave. One minute in and saw a number of white people. I want my country back!!!!

Soho Road Handsworth, passers by. Four white people. Adil has placed heart emojis to cover their faces and protect their identity.

Here's an even older plastic bag that we found during a recent beach clean. According to the very helpful folk at the M&S Archive, this particular bag was in use in their food halls c.1973 – 1976. It even had the remains of a 50 year old tin inside, hence the discolouration.

If you actually read the article, they don’t actually propose to abolish landlords, but they do propose to abolish buy-to-let mortgages! Only the richest landlord will survive!

On behalf of the State of Israel “At a time when Jews across Europe face rising antisemitism, it is vital to strengthen bonds with allies who refuse to be silent.”

The Israel Government announce a visit by Tommy Robinson, a known Islamophobic racist, to counter antisemitism 👀. Hate for hate.

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 5d

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Wow the difference in Trump’s speech pattern from 2011 to now in bc 2025 is remarkable!

Jules McHamish @julesmchamish.bsky.social · 9d

OK then, let’s stick with burning fossil fuels, which are definitely going to run out, and, since we’ve used up all the easy-to-extract stuff, will become increasingly more expensive to extract. And make our planet less hospitable.
But wind is unreliable apparently!

Dunno, but a former UK prime minister declaring what will happen to Palestine is not something which went terribly well before.

BREAKING: President Trump says all parties - including Israel - have accepted his plan for peace in the Middle East.

The only remaining party to give its verdict is Hamas, he says.

If Hamas doesn’t agree, he gives explicit permission to Netanyahu to “finish the job”.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
