I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

You can lock up as many people as you want for chanting or protesting against genocide.

You will never scrub away the truth about that genocide - or your own complicity in it.

You are just ensuring that you will be damned all the more for what you have done.

Government could crack down on pro-Palestinian protest chants, PM says

The government needs to

This is truly horrifying.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach…with Antifa."

Imagine knowing – being absolutely sure – that when you die, 65 or 70% of the country and the world will celebrate your death like nothing they've ever celebrated anything before.

18,000+ children killed in Gaza

This is mass murder on a biblical scale

Those who support the monstrous Israeli regime, and carry out or facilitate it's genocidal crusade, MUST be brought to justice

And that includes the US President and UK PM

During WWII Polish soldiers came here to help fight fascism. 100s of 1000s of them stayed, had families and became UK citizens. Kemi and her cronies pretending that Poles only recently came to the UK to live and work is ridiculous. Poland is growing because it is in the EU and we aren't, silly cow.

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.

Nigel Farage is owned by Russia. Vote Leave was illegally financed by Russia. Brexit was and is a Russian active measure to harm Britain and its home in Europe.

Greta Thunberg is obviously a heroic person by any measure, she is quite obviously the kind of person who any decent society would hope they see their reflection in. It is remarkable how cruelty is so common place that people will openly hate her, and in really vicious ways, with no shame.

He is ten months old. He is the only surviving member of his family. His small body, 40% burned, bears fractures and ischaemic hands. He lies in an ICU, a monument to his family's destruction. So I ask you, look at him and tell me: Is this boy 'The Enemy"?
