Pix are my own. Not on other social media. I celebrate courage, people offering hope and pointers on actions. I call out BS and disinfo.
Join in.
Not anti-Labour, am anti right wing bullshit populist rhetoric.
Is Trump capable of a call? The people around him are altering his reality and feeding him lines he can't get right.
Mar a Lago hokey table cloth situation room?

How scared is this lady? Like here, have it, take it, it's yours, please just don't kill me and my people kind of scared?

Yes, it's not talked about enough that Reform voters age profile is in a demographic where only 10-15% got a degree/and higher or further ed, apprenticeships were disappearing, it was tough to get going in life. Leaving school at 16 was the norm.

Unemployment was sky high too.

Please please keep remembering a large majority of the accounts posting are not real people. The ones who are real are being deliberately misled into thinking there are big numbers behind some appalling commentary.

Oh yes...
Several of these viewpoints & end games / goals are so incompatible it's already leading to infighting. It's hard to see at any one time now which 'philosophy' or interest group drives domestic or foreign policy. It's so incoherent folk are melting their heads trying to understand it.

I've seen this too.

There is no counter narrative when there is an algorithm designed to amplify one side and suppress the other. There is no free speech angle on X for this reason either

Agree.
Adding--why are children's charities still on X? Why are democracy orgs still there? Why are disability orgs?

Every other nation with any intelligence capacity is OSINT'ing the heck out of this set up 👀👀👀 🤣

If he wanted pics from the situation room, why isn't he in the situation room?

How much are they staging his involvement ... black tablecloths screening a party room is a bunch of total bullshit?

I get it, there's ubiquity, big name trust, customer inertia, local norms. Some folk use Paypal like it's their actual bank account because banking isn't accessible or preferable.

I can pay for US & UK stuff using Stripe from Scotland, admittedly this is a small sample of me 🤣 and may not work from US to absolutely everywhere.
January 2, 2026 at 5:15 PM
Can you not use Stripe? Paypal doesn't have a monopoly.

Saw this earlier. Suss opinions & or spectacularly thick is often a block from me, because 95% of the time the accounts are sock puppets. Argue bots do seem to be getting better.

Deny (He's so energetic!)
Attack (Libs are so hateful about our President!)
Reverse Victim & Offender (The press publish pics of him blinking! They're telling lies!! We need to take away their licenses!!)

Basic Gaslighting 101.

I'm an artist and I can block people from seeing my social media, refuse to sell my photos to people, and pull exhibitions from venues that support political parties that push for the eradication of people like me. Art is inherently political. What's selfish is assuming artists owe you their work.
