Right, my ice cream pic has a dual purpose this week, firstly to show how delicious it was, and secondly to demonstrate to @DavidAKirkwood that I and many of my lovely disabled friends are not in fact bots, but instead just angry at continued media demonisation and disinformation.

I bloody love cherry ripple

HE JUST GOT HIS OWN FAMILY A GOVERNMENT-CHARTERED BANK

Not a metaphor. Not a grift analogy. An actual federally chartered trust bank, approved this week, for World Liberty Financial, the crypto company his own family owns 38 percent of

Treasury regulators he appointed handed him the keys

Same week a watchdog report dropped showing his crypto ventures left 1 million retail investors underwater to the tune of $3.2 billion

While he personally walked away with $1.4 billion in 2025 alone

Read that gap again. A million regular people, probably a bunch of them his own supporters, watching their savings evaporate on a coin he pumped

And him laughing to the bank. Literally now. With a federal charter

Nearly half of World Liberty is owned by a UAE investment firm. So foreign money now has a direct financial stake in a bank tied to the sitting president of the United States

Elizabeth Warren said it herself, we have never seen corruption at this scale, and she's not exaggerating for effect

I'm hearing ethics lawyers inside Treasury are furious this got fast-tracked with zero real conflict-of-interest review, because who's going to stop it, the DOJ he controls

This is the business model now. Foreign cash, pardon seekers, desperate retail investors, all funneling upward into one family's pocket, with the full machinery of the federal government greasing the wheels

He is not separating himself from his businesses. He IS the business. The presidency is the product

Every regulator who signed off on this knew exactly what they were doing

This isn't a scandal they'll survive by outrunning the news cycle. This is the actual governing strategy

Loot the country in plain sight, dare anyone to stop you, and let the base cheer while their own wallets get drained

They are not going to stop. Why would they. It's working

🚨 BREAKING:

Marjorie Taylor Greene just revealed that the Epstein files were blocked by Trump himself.

He did everything he could to bury them.

Not the Democrats. Not the Justice Department. Not the deep state.

[Reform UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Hi @TiceRichard you shared this graphic about Reform UK on Bradford Council.

Some slight issues, in fact, some major ones:

- Union Flag: Already flown daily from council buildings before Reform UK took control. Not a new achievement.

- Council finances: Major capital and financial reviews were already planned or underway before Reform UK took control.

- Sugden End HWRC: Reopening has not been delivered. It remains a proposal awaiting formal approval.

- Grooming gangs inquiry: Bradford had already committed to participating. The independent inquiry does not say Reform UK “secured” Bradford’s inclusion.

- Devolving power locally: Vague. No specific transfer of powers, functions or budgets is identified.

- Bingley Pool: The campaign long predates Reform UK and involved residents, community groups and councillors across parties. The pause was not solely a Reform UK initiative.

- Wind farm: Opposing a proposed wind farm is a political position, not a delivered achievement.

- City-centre ASB: Action and funding to tackle ASB were already underway, including £450,000 for a City Centre Team approved before Reform UK took control.

- Homelessness: Rough-sleeping and homelessness programmes, funding and new accommodation initiatives were already underway before Reform UK took control.

- Local Plan: Inherited. The timetable was adopted in 2025 and the council had already committed to progressing it in January 2026.

- £3.1m potholes: The £3.19m was Bradford’s allocation from a wider West Yorkshire highways package originating from Department for Transport funding, not money Reform UK independently “secured”.

- Bradford Business Conference: An announced conference may be a new initiative, but announcing an event “to attract investment” is not the same as actually attracting new investment.

Four months later, the Epstein Files still have vanished from the conversation, as if one of the biggest scandals in American and Israeli politics never happened.

[Rula Jebreal @rulajebreal]

Un'analisi spietata e precisa dei risultati ottenuti dal cosiddetto board of Peace a Gaza:
“È evidente che, per il Consiglio di Pace, i bisogni dei palestinesi a Gaza sono subordinati alle esigenze capricciose dell’occupazione israeliana.
È chiaro che il mandato viene utilizzato per nascondere le continue violazioni e i crimini di Israele.
- Israele impedisce l’ingresso a Gaza di sedie a rotelle, protesi, angurie e prodotti ortofrutticoli freschi.
- Israele respinge forbici, stampelle, sedie a rotelle e protesi e impedisce l’ingresso a medici specialisti e limita l’olio motore in modo così severo che il suo prezzo è salito a 45 volte i livelli normali, portando le operazioni di aiuto umanitario a un punto di rottura assoluto.”
- Israele ha inoltre respinto angurie e cipolle in base a una “politica umanitaria” non resa pubblica, hanno revocato la registrazione di 30 organizzazioni umanitarie internazionali e hanno ripetutamente spostato la cosiddetta “Linea Gialla”, che si supponeva fissa, interrompendo l’accesso ad almeno 85 punti di approvvigionamento idrico, scuole e centri sanitari.
L’assistenza umanitaria, per sua natura, non può essere subordinata a condizioni.
Israele sta riducendo “quasi quotidianamente” lo spazio fisico a Gaza in cui le organizzazioni umanitarie possono operare per salvare vite umane.”
Israele ha creato la più grande popolazione al mondo di bambini con amputazioni e ora impedisce l’ingresso di protesi, medicinali e cibo a Gaza.
Athena Rayburn, direttrice esecutiva dell’Associazione delle agenzie internazionali per lo sviluppo, che rappresenta 100 ONG nei territori palestinesi occupati, ha illustrato in dettaglio le politiche genocidarie di Israele durante una riunione del Consiglio di Sicurezza dell’ONU tenutasi ieri.

Excellency, I’m (again) avoiding undignified clickbait exchange. We reduced hunger from levels I spoke of last year because President Trump’s plan and support from region, US, Europe helped us get in 1m+ meals a day. I fully back @UNICEF. We won’t be distracted from saving lives.

[courtneybonneauimages @cbonneauimages]

The Israeli army carried out a massive demolition in the town on Bani Hyan.

Israel has been systematically destroying towns and villages in Lebanon. This is an act of genocide.

Genocide is defined under Article Il of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention as any act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. One of the five acts is “deliberately imposing destructive life conditions.”

More than 65 towns and villages in Lebanon are still under Israeli occupation and are undergoing daily illegal civilian home and infrastructure demolitions.

[courtneybonneauimages @cbonneauimages]

I am on the edge of Israel’s illegal occupation belt across southern Lebanon, at least 15 kilometers from Lebanon’s border with occupied Palestine but my European internet provider just notified me that I’m in Israel.

@AllisonPearson Stop lying.

Our electricity bills are going up because around 90% of the time gas-fired electricity is needed to top up supply to meet demand, and the price of all electricity is set at the gas price.

Spain decoupled elec from gas in 2022: look what happened.

US President Donald Trump bought $500,000 worth of Boeing stock on June 18, 2026.

That same day, the US Navy awarded Boeing an $880 million contract.

Are we having fun, America?

[Martin Shaw @martinshawx]

This decision makes it clear that Israel completely controls operations under Trump’s so-called Board of Peace. The UK, German and French governments should now withdraw their representatives and expose this sham.

Richard Gere: We're living in the darkest moment that I've experienced on this planet. Whoever thought America could turn like this?

Whoever thought that a maniac like this would be president of the United States and dismantle all the good things?

America has never been a perfect place, but it has a perfect ideal that it's moving towards and always has, and it's been self-corrective.

First day, this guy dismantled almost everything that was good about the US government and the US people.

How is this even possible? Because we went to sleep. We didn't care. We didn't vote. We didn't really listen.

You know, of course, I didn't vote for this guy, but I didn't do enough work to skillfully convince people around me.

People close to me, not close to me, that this was insane to elect this person as president of the United States.

We all have to take responsibility for this. But how quickly, this was in weeks, he had dismantled America.

And you see how quickly our world can be taken from us if we fall asleep. And so we have to see the cues.

We have to see the cues, this dictatorship of the monsters. How quickly it happens. We have to be vigilant.

We can't sit back and go, "Ah, life is good, I'm fine. You know, I've got food, I've got money, blah blah, I've got my house, I've got another car, I'm thinking about this, blah blah, I'm okay. I know he's a bad guy, but it's okay."

It's not okay! It's never okay.

Israel has robbed Palestinian children of everything meaningful & that sustains life; it deprives them of their childhood & hope for the future.
