We're a decade into this shit and I still cannot get my mind around how America put the single worst human being it has produced in the postwar era in charge not once but twice.

The Supreme Court: Gender dysphoria is a discomfort with one's own sex

Also the Supreme Court: This is not sex based discrimination, it's discrimination based on gender dysphoria

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Increased bills for higher earners could fund UK energy upgrade, Ofgem says Regulator to consult industry on how to recover network costs via standing charge in a โ€˜more progressiveโ€™ way

Increased bills for higher earners could fund UK energy upgrade, Ofgem says.

Standing charges to rocket.

Will Ofgem see people's bank accounts, tax records?

Easier to fund upgrades - end profiteering. In the last four years energy industry made ยฃ514bn operating profit.

Nationalise energy.

Praful Nargund, "Right now we're trying to strike a trade deal with America"

As far as I can tell, the first person to ever accuse him of human trafficking is Leavitt herself (I'd love to know if someone else made the claim first).

Certainly, no official has ever made that claim to a court, nor offered any evidence of it whatsoever. It seems the White House made it up.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

The May elections will shortly be upon us in the UK.
So, a polite request - if you intend to vote Reform would you kindly โ€˜unfriendโ€™ me as you would certainly not be a friend of mine.
Thank you.

The Teeswork Freeport corruption in short.

2 businessmen paid ยฃ110 for a ยฃ100m site.
We paid ยฃ462m to clean it up they paid nothing
They made ยฃ100m selling scrap metal from clean up, we received nothing.

Michael Gove covers it up.

Hilarious how MAGA claim to hate communists yet within a few months their cult leader has single handedly brought down capitalism and reduced the net worth of many billionaires whilst simultaneously handing more power to China. Unbelievable.

For those of us feeling exhausted, tired of marching, here's something you can do while sitting comfortably in your home playing with your phone or computer.
Parents, if these are your children please practice safe sex next time.
