Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

🧵
ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

Climate critics try to discredit IPCC author for linking disasters to global warming Roger Pielke Jr. and oil industry supporters are attacking climate scientist Friederike Otto, whose work has been used in lawsuits against polluters.

When a collaborator is targeted because her scientific findings that attribute extreme weather to human-caused climate change is being used (effectively) in climate lawsuits against oil companies, you know times are dark indeed.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Nigel Farage on Russia Today.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Press pool: “On Trump’s desk in the Oval Office today was a plan for a triumphal arch on the other side of the river from the Lincoln Memorial”

You all can’t have healthcare so Trump can have those tax dollars to spend on playing Napoleon while your family members die.
Got it?

In an attempt to show Gary Neville how wrong he was to suggest that middle aged white men are putting flags up to make a point, some middle aged white men have put flags up outside his hotel to make a point.

As a Jew... Remembering October 7, 2023 Two years ago, on October 7, 2023, an attack began when over 4,000 rockets were fired at Israel. Reflections on the past 732 days.

On this two year anniversary of the brutal October attack on Israel, let's see the last 732 days have taken us all.

Beagles too … its like living with Mrs McClusky at her most disapproving

Budget 2026: Basic income for artists to become permanent The Basic Income for the Arts scheme will be put on a permanent footing in the Budget tomorrow.

Reform lied to get elected to Kent County Council.

They promised tax cuts in their election material.

The only tax councils have any real say over is council tax.

Refore are now saying they will increase council tax in Kent.

Failure to deliver on what they promised after just 5 months.

My colleague sent me their leaflet 😭 so good

“I have in my hand a piece of filth by Paul McCartney & The Frog Chorus which contains the line ‘Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum’. I don’t want to hear about your nether regions Mr McCartney and I’m not playing this shit on my radio programme. Here’s Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Relax.”

Is that Paddington?

It's a shame, because "When Labour negotiates Britain loses Kemi Badenoch" would have been a very strong message.

Dear Gods of all that is stupid...

IT'S REAL.
