Nigel Farage is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR.

His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster. @goodlawproject.bsky.social have the facts:

June is Pride Month. Let's call out companies who show support for LGBTQ+ people while also advertising on GB News, a channel that pumps out LGBTQ+ hate. Tell these companies to pick a side - hate or Pride:

Pick a side – hate or Pride
June is Pride month. So our social feeds will be awash with corporate rainbow logos performatively signalling their support for the LGBTQ+ community. But some of the same companies celebrating Pride a...

Donald Trump has declared bankruptcy six times.
Lutnick: "Let Donald Trump run the global economy. He's knows what he's doing. He's been talking about it for 35 years. You gotta trust Donald Trump in the White House ... it's broken. Let him fix it ... Let Donald Trump fix the American economy."

Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

Rachel Maddow points out the overt declarations of support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by Republicans like Senators Lindsey Graham and Roger Wicker, only for them to turn on a dime and drop that support after Donald Trump's Oval Office blow-up.

This is the worst one. I've seen lots of bad RFK videos but this is the worst.

I don't know what is more awful, the fact that the guy who might run HHS is casually talking about his belief in eugenics or that he won't look her in the eye when he pitches this racist madness

True words by the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk . . .

... by the way, one of the "main actors" was Elon Musk !

F * * K all Nazis - everywhere !

The words we heard from the main actors of the AfD rally about “Great Germany” and “the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes” sounded all too familiar and ominous. Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

...and just one more yiddish song that evokes the world that the nazis all but obliterated on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Let us remember the little children!

Just read this article on BBC website re. Archbishop of York:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The phrase that springs to mind, from the Bible, is "whited sepulchers" for all these sumptuously-attired senior clergy, appearing virtuous while protecting child abusing priests and failing their victims.
Archbishop of York 'regrets' that abuse scandal priest was reappointed twice
Stephen Cottrell knew former priest David Tudor had paid compensation to a woman who says Tudor abused him as a child.
