Ya'll remember when the US set up a coup operation and kidnapped the President of Venezuela and his wife, stole a shit ton of oil, and then put the money in an offshore account, or have y'all already forgotten with all the other dystopian shit distractions???

I await Nigel Farage calling for “pure, cold, rage?” .

The fact that the Epstein Files STILL have not turned into the Epstein Trials goes to show just how far this country has fallen.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Republicans often like to say that government should be run more like a business.

If any CEO fell asleep at multiple board meetings and events, that CEO would be fired.

[Doc Strangelove @DocStrangelove2]

How about, not making it at all. That has a better ring to it.

These are the four college girls, including one American citizen, the IDF kidnapped in the middle of the night from their homes and threw into their torture dungeons.

Jolan Abu Awwad, Natali Abu Dayya, Laila Nael Khalil, Sama Safi

Israel has a policy called “administrative detention” that allows them to kidnap Palestinians and imprison them for 6 month increments without any charges whatsoever. These holdings can drag out for years.

Over 3,000 Palestinians were being held on administrative detention in Israeli prisons on October 7. That’s why Hamas took all those Israelis back to Gaza. To exchange for their release.

But do you see how that works? When Israel kidnaps people and holds them for months and years on end, they are simply “prisoners on administrative detention.” But when Hamas does it, they are “hostages.”

How did jared kushner find the time to be corrupt in Albania when he was suppose to be leading peace negotiations with Iran???

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

History is slipping from the minds of Americans.

The French Revolution did not begin with a guillotine.

It began when regular people couldn’t afford bread to feed their children while the elite continued living as though nothing was wrong.

History suggests that societies become unstable when suffering is concentrated.

One of the two men charged with public order offences outside the police station in Southampton has been charged with possession of a knife.
Imagine being such a prick that you go to protest knife crime by carrying a concealed knife. And why would you if it was “peaceful”?

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

The President of the United States is asleep at his desk. Again.

Behind him stand seven grown adults in expensive suits, and not one of them is doing anything about it. One is mid-sentence. Another is gazing sideways with the haunted look of a man whose pension depends on never acknowledging what he can see in his peripheral vision.

The rest of the world is watching, and the rest of the world has noticed something. Americans are terrified of authority. That fear has settled over this administration like a fog, and it turns otherwise functional adults into warm furniture. Nobody moves. Nobody speaks. The paralysis is total.

In any European parliament, in any boardroom from Oslo to Ljubljana, someone would have leaned over by now. Tapped a shoulder. Said, quietly but clearly, that perhaps this isn’t the moment. Somebody would have done something, because the alternative, pretending a sleeping man is running a meeting, would have been too absurd to sustain.

Not here. Here, seven men have collectively decided that the correct professional response to the President losing consciousness in the Oval Office is to carry on as though he were a particularly demanding houseplant.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

I disagree with Starmer in many things but on this … he hit the nail, directly on its racist head.

Look at the state of Christopher Hope talking to his boss — grinning from ear to ear to oblige.

Step into the arena, Nigel, sit down with a journo that isn't paid by you.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

While ordinary people struggle every day to pay the rent or mortgage - Andrew was not only living in a palace for almost nothing, he was subletting them for cash.

The greed of the wealthy elites in this country is breathtaking.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

"Never forget," they say.

But they choose what you remember.

Never forget Tiananmen.

Never forget 9/11.

Never forget the Holocaust.

But somehow, you are allowed to forget Fallujah.

You are allowed to forget Mỹ Lai.

You are allowed to forget Sabra and Shatila.

You are encouraged to forget Gaza while it is still happening.

This is not a culture of remembrance.

It is a culture of selective memory.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

From the UK to New York, the real fightback is against the multi-millionaires and billionaires who have stolen our wealth and power - and the media that protect them.

Zohran gets that.

And we do too:

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

USA is sick. Well its government is. Ditto this platform. The constant ill-informed commentary on other countries about which they know little and care less has to be called out. Not sure that if the World Cup was in Europe right now that there would be the kind of boycott that is hitting the usa travel industry

books are amazing because a stranger from 200 years ago can still ruin your afternoon emotionally.

It is a travesty that Israel is permitted to play in international sport.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

I don't "claim authorship" of 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. I repeat in every interview on radio, TV in the press, the origins of 'Bear Hunt' and that I 'adapted' it. Or 'edited' it. You've just lied. On most editions of the book it says 'retold' by me https://t.co/qeJHAUrJQ6

[Liesl McConchie @Liesl4CleanAir]

I’ve made the decision to minimize my doomscrolling and read more books.

Too much focus on societal collapse is bad for my health.

This is gonna go well. 🙃
