Holy God, if the American people don’t drag that overfed educationally subnormal dictator out of office by the scruff of his neck for this physical assault on their democracy, then it’s all over for them. This is the stuff revolutions are made of. Rise up or bow down, Americans. The choice is yours.

'We've temporarily stopped slaughtering people, well done us'

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

If I’d been driving that van I’d have refused to comply and dared the cops to arrest me so I could blast this outrageous attack on freedom of speech all over the courts

Perfect

We're aw fae somewhere

I'm not so sure, working in the community I'm hearing growing support for reform and their frog faced leader. A numer of people are scunnered with the current leadership in Scotland. Reform message appears to be landing

Policeman here, when I put up police tape around an incident I purposely put it upside down. I know that it pisses so many people off

It's not only the supreme court ruling in the UK. It's trump, it's putin. It's us all having a read of Martin Niemöller

Wisconsin Trump voter stands by his support of president after ICE detains his Peruvian wife on return trip from honeymoon The concerned husband said he initially thought Trump’s administration would only deport immigrants with a criminal history or those who had crossed the border illegally.

"I still support our president"
Says man whose wife was detained by ICE as they returned from honeymoon.

MAGA is a cult - and I suspect we're going to see a lot more cognitive dissonance as the prophecy fails.

Car boot sale on the White House lawn

Seem to remember reading about us doing that for a bit. A couple of times.

It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.

@paderofsky.bsky.social nothing to see here. As you were

'A crossroads in history': Starmer appears ‘sure-footed’ after Zelensky’s ‘ugly’ Oval Office clash From a vicious clash in the Oval Office to a summit of world leaders in London, the past few days saw huge moments in global politics, but will there be a positive outcome from the events of the past ...

"Trump and Zelensky both lose from this. The person who wins is Vladimir Putin."

From the Oval Office clash to a warm welcome in London, it was a busy weekend for Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky

‘America First’ banner hangs in the back wall. Tables of representatives from healthcare, education, sciences and arts are empty. Netanyahu is being brought money and bombs by waiters Hegseth, Trump, Vance and Rubio. In the foreground sits Musk, with his table groaning under the weight of government subsidies, tax breaks and contracts.

A brief summary of Trump’s idea of a ‘peace deal’:

Zelenskyy: “I need help to protect my people.”
Trump: “Well, you should have thought of that before you got invaded…”

Does America have any idea what people around the world are thinking of it tonight? Where are the protests? Where is the opposition? Heartbreaking to see a nation's moral collapse like this.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.
