Ha haha, read ‘Juice’ by Tim Winton.

fascist propaganda that identifies as a news source

Dutch public broadcaster NOS quits X over disinformation Dutch public broadcaster NOS on Tuesday said it had stopped posting on Elon Musk's social media platform X, as it said it did not want to facilitate the spreading of disinformation.

And so too should every media outlet and politician who doesn’t want to sanction fascism.

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

These are the people whose parents bought that stuffed animal with the fake heartbeat so they wouldn’t have to hold their kid.

Everyone should get an annual graph showing where they stand in terms of earnings/savings/pension. Make it regional maybe.

Fix the fucking health system! #nostadium #politas

There is no 'Cost of Living Crisis', it is the Cost of Greed.

Until you cut the record profits of the billionaires it will never end.

They make far too much money, they NEED to make less.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
