He raped and molested young girls and women.
He killed nearly 200 young girls and woman with a bomb.
He’s lied about both.

America you need to get your act together to rid your country and the World of this evil man and his helpers.

It’s outrageous that the majority of our lawmakers are unelected. Sign now to demand power be placed rightfully in the hands of the people It takes 30 seconds

The Lords is still a home for cronies and donors. Removing the Hereditary Peers isn’t the end, it’s just the start. Demand a fair, elected second chamber now - sign @electoralreform.bsky.social's call to demand change. It takes 30 seconds action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/174863/...

Golf club firm owned by Trump’s sons merges with drone manufacturer Merger to take drone firm public is latest business move by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr as father is in White House

A Golf club firm owned by Trump’s sons is merging with a drone manufacturer.

But nothing to see here, right? Cause a golf club manufacturing company and drone manufacturer with Israeli ties merger is perfectly fucking normal.

A surviving senior Iranian leader issued a chilling threat against Donald Trump in response to his own warning of "Death, Fire and Fury."

That states very clearly that Trump is interested in keeping the oil flowing and does not care how many people in Iran he kills, injures or makes homeless😖

The response to this extraordinary piece tells us so much.

The British media and establishment remains so obsequious and deferential to royalty that to have the truth spoken so openly and freely feels positively revolutionary.

When Trump said he would lower prices, he lied. When he started a war with Iran, he chose chaos. Now oil is over one hundred dollars a barrel and families are struggling. The gap between his promises and reality has a name. It is called Trumpflation and it is crushing us. #TrumpsGasProblem

When fuel prices go up, all prices go up as everything is moved around the country to stores. Add in travel to the store and it gets very expensive. Groceries, clothes, everything and they're still bombing
This on top of the number of people, including
children killed all because Israel wanted it

Keir Starmer faces one of his biggest rebellions over jury trial cuts The PM and David Lammy have tried to quell dissent, but dozens of Labour MPs are thought to be ready to vote against plans intended to clear the court backlog

Keir Starmer faces one of his biggest rebellions over jury trial cuts and rightly so.

Labour MPs must see through his outrageously dishonest propaganda pieces and VOTE AGAINST this shameful constitutional vandalism
