Juan Epstein, beware.

The Supreme Court upholds decision requiring Alex Jones to pay $1.4 billion for saying Sandy Hook was a hoax.

Good. His slanderous statements caused unnecessary trauma.

Pay up.

Then start advocating for better gun control.

It’s long past time.

Occasional reminder that the "distracted boyfriend" meme has its origins in a pre-WW1 Punch cartoon about Anglo-German relations...

I have zero sympathy for Nigel Farage’s feelings. That rat bastard wants to deport half my wife’s coworkers, my dentist, several friends, my neighbours, a gal who works in my pub, and like 40 people from my church

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

What a bloke! 😱😱😱👍

enlistment form showing that this soldier is 5 foot 6 and a half, 150 pounds, 37 years old, and an Athletic instructor born in Bangalore

By coincidence, one of the First World War service records I'm looking at today is a legit Tough Guy. A 9-year veteran of the Royal Navy whose profession is "athletic instructor" volunteered as a private in the Canadian Expeditionary force on Aug 12, 1914. Tattooed all over his arms and chest.

ICE’s Shadow War on Women Criminals are now impersonating masked ICE agents to kidnap and assault women

Masked men posing as ICE agents are kidnapping and assaulting women—taking advantage of the chaos and fear Trump's detention and deportation policies have fostered. Guest writer Cammy Pedroja exposes how Trump’s fear-driven immigration crackdown is endangering immigrant women.

Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray.

No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye.

Thank me later,

On this day, 110 years ago, my great grandad and his mates from 10th Battalion Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) went over the top for the first time at Loos. He, with too many of his mates, is commemorated on the Loos Memorial to the Missing.

Lest we forget.

Russia doesn’t want peace and there will be no solution to the war until enough variables change to make peace a preferred option for Russia. The world needs to change those variables to pressure Russia, or else there will be no peace.

The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts

Alan Kurdi, dead on a beach

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Scooby I am as white as a hotel towel, and the closest thing to Mexican I am was a single all inclusive resort stay in Cancun. I put a Mexican flag sticker on my old Tacoma abd was promptly pulled over by ICE in San Antonio. I'm happy to waste their time 1d RookaTX This is the way Scooby • RookaTX Their big question was like, "why the sticker" I told them it was on the truck when I bought it-and they suggested I remove it. Obnoxious creatures. 1d

Last week I took a group to the infamous 9th Fort in Kaunas, Lithuania, which was the site of infamous crimes against humanity. This ended up begging the question: if this is the 9th fort, what about the others?!

Thread.

Let me guess: They are going to take everyone’s citizenship away and make people beg to get it reinstated with fees, bribes, and religious oaths to Trump

The We Have Ways July NW Pub Meet is in Bamber Bridge, Lancs on Tuesday July 22nd.
Expect waffle, tales of growing piles of shame and collective surrounding of many pies and much gravy. All welcome. #WeHaveWays #WW2

Remembering Ptes Willie Roxburgh and Ernie Becker and the others from 16th Battalion Royal Scots who went over the top on this day in 1916 and would not see then end of the day. They have no known grave and are commemorated alongside 72,335 others on the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing.

BREAKING: We're filing a new class-action lawsuit to challenge President Trump's lawsuit restricting birthright citizenship.

The 14th Amendment is clear: Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen, whether the president likes it or not.

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

Out now! S2 E3 of The Forgotten War Pod: James Holland on Harold Alexander. Rob, Jack and @James1940 look at his early life and career, including his time commanding German troops after the First World War (pict 2). There's some top hattery this week too!

And then, along came vaccines; so, now it’s in a museum. 🤔

Hearse built for kids, restored and housed in Studebaker museum south bend indiana

A 1929 Studebaker hearse, designed for children's funerals, was a response to the high mortality rate of children in the 20th century, as many died from measles, making it a competitive edge for funeral homes to offer this service.

It’s 2250! Bluesky! 😉
