There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

What the hell?
The EPA started ordering some of its departments to immediately halt publishing research reports. I'm convinced the Trump regime is trying to kill us.

All you will get is the cheapest way out. Palliative care 0 assisted dying all the way. Think again, it puts too many at risk.

BRIAN READE: 'Cruel disaster is warning over powerful dodging responsibility' Grenfell is not just a burning scar on Britain’s conscience it’s another example of a country that lets the marginalised rot while the powerful shrug, says Brian Reade

DAILY MIRROR: Grenfell as a stark reminder: Accountability is lost while the marginalised suffer in a society prioritising the powerful.

8 years later and not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell, even though a report a year ago listed all the people involved, and what they did or didn't do.

They don't want to convict them, because they are rich.

Ocean acidification may have crossed 'planetary boundary' five years ago A team of planetary scientists, ecologists, and marine biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and one in the U.K., has found evidence suggesting that parts of the world's oceans h...

I was talking last night in Durham about how six of nine identified #PlanetaryBoundaries have been crossed.

Seems, sadly, with #oceanacidification, we might soon have to lift that figure to seven

It was Netanyahu who dropped bombs on Tel Aviv, don't forget that.

There was no threat before he attacked.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

A Democratic Mayor arrested.

A Democratic Congresswoman indicted.

A Democratic Senator tackled and detained.

A Democratic State Representative killed.

A Democratic State Representative in critical condition.

We can all see where this is going.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name.

This is your legacy!

The only way this is going to end is with Israel backing down or Donald Trump launching into another Afghanistan style war that will end with the USA's defeat, after losing thousands of soldiers and hundred of billions of dollars.

Trooping the Colour, how much do you pay for this ridiculous charade?

Β£20,000,000

That is 800 Nurses, 500 Doctors or 1000 Teachers.

We need all of them, we don't need this.

I am absolutely horrified by the scenes in Liverpool. My thoughts are with everybody affected.

Liverpool will always hold a special place in my heart β€” it is a city of unique strength, spirit and unity.

Tonight and always, you’ll never walk alone.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 β€” the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
