Within months I’ve started to seriously hate this country’s RFM and CON politicians
And get angry at LAB politicians…
So we, EU citizens, are welcome to bust our backs to support NHS and economy… but not have access to benefits if needed.
Noted.
Maybe I should pack… and go back to where I came from

Let's do this...
We don't need to stand on formality. Especially when there's ZRRO decorum in Congress.

Kuvin: So, we know the FBI has it. We have to assume they reviewed it—and that some agent, or multiple agents, have created internal memos identifying who appears on those videos. And that’s what we need: the internal FBI memos showing who they’ve identified on the recordings.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Yes, they televised the murders. We all saw it. Now we have the accusation from the NYC Bar Association saying it was murder.

He’s continuing to do the unthinkable and the Supreme Court got it wrong giving him immunity.

He will continue to inflict harm on people until we say that’s enough. Time?

🚨🚨🚨Judge Diane Goldstein of South Carolina was targeted by the Trump admin for carrying out justice according to the law. Because of this, her house was blown up, her husband is in the hospital, and the domestic terrorism continues. 1/2

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

As a retired journalism professor, I believe every newsroom in America must now develop Civil War Protocols: how it will conduct the profession of journalism when Donald Trump declares martial law and systematically ends our democracy. If your newsroom isn't prepared for this, it's rank malpractice.

Oxygen is released into the atmosphere during photosynthesis. At night, some is consumed again by the tree. But the tree releases more oxygen than it needs itself. Deciduous forests release 15 to./year/ha of oxygen, coniferous forests up to 30 to./year/ha into the atmosphere.🌳🌲

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends … This should concern every American."

In the past few days we've had an attack on a synagogue in Manchester and now an arson attack on a mosque in Sussex. This hatred to one another must stop. Solidarity to all my Jewish and Muslim brothers and sisters.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

"Europeans, let's wake up!" — Defend Democracy “We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.” President Macron on the occasion of German Unity Day, 3 October 2025.

"We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Finally someone fucking says it.
