Look my girl is just trying to save the cats I don't understand what's so wrong about her. Steal from the old too rich give to the animals whose habitats they destroy. Feels like justice to me.

My only gripe is that she's blonde.

Idc, in my mind all Catwomans should look like Eartha Kitt.

The โ€œenemy from withinโ€ is Trump. The โ€œviolent extremistsโ€ are Trump lackeys who have turned ICE into fascistic shock troops. In response to Trumpโ€™s brutal, racist, and unconstitutional campaign of terror the country must mobilize collectively

US shutdown enters second week as Senate votes again on funding bill Democrats and Republicans apparently no closer to deal to restart funding as Trump warns of imminent job cuts

There is no reason at all why the government shutdown should result in laying off federal workers - except that Trump will seize this opportunity through vindictiveness. His disdain for the people shows no bounds.

I feel slightly numb and mostly exhausted at the amount of antisemitism posting about antisemitism has triggered on my BlueSky posts

To all the antisemites, I say: f*ck you

Should CinC (POTUS) wear military uniform, as the most senior commander in the US military? Would that mean he should meet Sec Hegseth's new fitness standards?
Pres Trump loves to salute (while hatless and in civvies). He should enjoy a heavily braided CinC's outfit, while running around the track.

Several people fired after clampdown on speech over Charlie Kirk shooting Teachers, firefighters and military personnel among those who lost jobs after posting their opinion on social media

Who is protecting First Amendment rights? Not the Right. How can freedom of speech be protected when it fails the first test? It is when rights are tested that the strength (or weaknesses) of Constitutional protections are shown. The Right destroys 1st Amendment

Reporter: Did Israel tell you in advance?
Trump: No
Reporter: You were caught by surprise?
Trump: Iโ€™m never surprised by anything

Trump lies. Israel says he greenlit the operation. WH said Witkoff was โ€œdispatchedโ€ to warn Doha. Qatar says warning came as targets were already hit.

These are facts

Boris Johnson under pressure to explain how private office follows funding rules Office is part-funded by public duty costs allowance, which should only be used to support public work of former PMs

The costs allowances for former PMs must be loose change for Johnson. Why does he abuse the rules when he has millions?
It's measure of the man whose narcissism excuses all. Like Trump, he believes everything is his by right.

Silencing the drumbeat again: seeking asylum is legal Hundreds protested in Ashington against so-called "illegal immigrants" - though seeking asylum has been legal since 1951

Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants".

-seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951.

This legally trumps all arguments of โ€œbut they arrived by illegal meansโ€. Thatโ€™s just a fact. Thatโ€™s why you donโ€™t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.

Of course, you would give a Reform Councillor the job of processing asylum claims. No worse than asking an arsonist to join the Fire Service.
