Happily retired aircraft engineer. Love my kids and Grandkids and hoping for a healthy retirement, health is crucially important. Labour man, Keir supporter, Celtic man, humanist, Trump & Farage are abominations. Not interested in Bit coin shite. No DM’s.

Doncaster chippy owner 'scared for his children' after vandalism - BBC News Poseidon's Fish Bar had the word "England" painted on its front, says Iraqi-born owner Darin Ahmed.

This is the result of Farage and Jenrick’s far-right, divisive rhetoric. Hard working, responsible people feeling afraid for their future.
Disgraceful.

Gotta say--dressing up in costumes is the kind of creatively brilliant resistance we all need. It brings joy and humor to things while vividly painting the authoritarian as foolish and absurd. Hats off Portlanders! @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org I think this counts as the sprite of mischief.

Ukraine has begun using FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles, which cost around $500,000, according to The Economist.

By comparison, Tomahawk missiles cost four times as much, have a shorter range and payload, but are more accurate and more difficult to shoot down.

What to Know About Adelita Grijalva and Her Stalled Swearing-In to Congress Speaker Mike Johnson is blaming the shutdown. Others think it may have to do with the Epstein files.

The GOP won't swear-in Adelita Grijalva, leaving AZ-07 without a federal representative during a government shutdown.

She will also be the 218th and final signature to force a vote to release the Epstein files—I'm sure that's just a coincidence, right?

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Religious leaders & faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who would Jesus deport?’

Trump regime ICE forces have targeted them as they pray, shooting them in the head with pepper balls then laughing.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."
