Girl dads:

Do not bring little girls into the men's room. We do not want little girls exposed to adult, male genitals.

You are welcome to bring your girl(s) into the women's restroom.

Just give a knock, say you're a girl dad coming in, and you'll be fine.

🇺🇸🧐“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”

Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.

This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:

“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.

Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.

Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.

And you call Greenland badly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.

‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’

When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.

And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.

You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.

So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

@Nettleshippy I did the Ulysses in 80 days on Twitter a few years ago. It helped to break it into manageable sections. I also listened to the RTE recording on YouTube which helped with the different voices.

Is anti immigration ACTUALLY the answer UK?🤔

[Gordon Fielden @GordonFielden]

When Andy Burnham says he wants to save the Labour Party, what exactly does he mean?

Let us be clear. Large parts of his mayoral constituencies have shifted sky blue for Reform UK and green for the Green Party of England and Wales. In Makerfield, where the forthcoming by-election is taking place, Reform made major advances in the recent local elections and swept wards across the constituency. (The Mill)

So why did he not stop that drift? Why did significant sections of the electorate in Greater Manchester move away from Labour under his own regional political watch?

And if he himself had been directly on the ballot in those local contests, does anyone seriously believe the outcome would have been entirely comfortable?

I have yet to see anything that demonstrates why he should automatically be leader of the Labour Party.

The reality is obvious. Elements of the left want him there because they are currently marginalised and no longer carry the influence they once did. We know John McDonnell has long supported his return, and there has even been talk around reconnecting with Jeremy Corbyn, despite the fact he has now taken a different political path altogether.

How very strange.

Then we have Wes Streeting, announcing leadership ambitions before any formal contest even exists. But does he have the support within the Parliamentary Labour Party? Does he have the numbers to mount a serious challenge?

Let us remember, Keir Starmer does not need to do anything. As the incumbent, he remains leader unless successfully challenged.

And if Burnham and Streeting split any anti Starmer vote inside the party, then Starmer is strengthened, not weakened.

The real issue here is the media narrative. Parts of the mainstream media have created a political psychodrama around this leadership speculation, but it is not unfolding in the neat way they anticipated.

Because in the end, the decisive question is not what Westminster commentators want. It is what Labour members themselves want.

And at present, there is little concrete evidence of any overwhelming groundswell for either Burnham or Streeting.
