If you think Trump cares about peace
more than Trump cares about Trump;
wait for his reaction
when someone else wins the Nobel Prize.

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

What on Earth could those violent, terrorist anti-fascists have been opposing from the late 1920s onwards? It's a real head scratcher.

I was piled on by Snyder stans for saying his Justice League cut was the most tedious four hours of my life, but at least none of them threatened my life!

The last item on BBC's evening news was basically "Dolly Parton is fine" which is, as Seth Meyers says, the kind of news we need right now

The picture of toadstools coloured in. We find it quite relaxing.

If you don’t know what pokey time is, well you’ve missed out. We’ve been learning about the meta skill of focusing, and developing our fine motor skills by poking pins through paper to make pictures.

We love it!

Nothing says "I want independent judges" like threatening to sack any judge who disagrees with you, while holding up a judge's wig like a puppet

The problem is that I don't think Goodwin is so ignorant as to not know why his claim is so wrong. But he is banking on the people who listen to him being that ignorant.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first 

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone.

We will not let hate or those who spread it win.

We stand with you.

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone. We will not let hate or those who spread it win. We stand with you.

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

I've been appalled by the hijacking of Christianity by those protesting outside asylum seekers accommodation recently, so I made this biblical counterpoint.
It also applies to American Christian Nationalists and their weaponisation of ICE.

This is a clear sign that the Overton window has shifted when it comes to race and national identity. It’s a disturbing and dangerous change which goes to show liberal values aren’t universal or inevitable, but something you have to fight for.

As with foreign aid, the idea that modern militaries adopted rules of engagement because they were taken over by sissy altruists - and not out of hard experience and strategic calculation - is (or should be) laughable.

If only our leaders premised their strategic decisions on moral consideration.
