Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
Dear Conservative Christians,
If an MMA fighter calling Michelle Obama "a man" at a White House event doesn't disturb you, it's because racism and misogyny have become so embedded in your politics that you no longer recognize them sin.
Ich glaube nicht daran, dass man sie entradikalisieren und entzaubern kann. Die Idee, das passive Wahlrecht zu entziehen finde ich richtig und überfällig.
Needless to say, Donald Trump has in no way protested against Putin's bombing the finest monument of eastern slavic orthodoxy, the cathedral in Pechersk lavra in Kyiv, because Trump cares neither about God nor people.
Dass Bundeskanzler Merz Präsident Trump bereits zu einem „diplomatischen Durchbruch“ gratuliert, halte ich zumindest für verfrüht. Natürlich wünschen wir uns alle ein Ende der Eskalation. Aber Außenpolitik ist kein Schönheitswettbewerb der schnellsten und freundlichsten Glückwünsche. Entscheidend ist, ob der Iran tatsächlich liefert. Zweifel an der Zuverlässigkeit des Mullah-Regime sind, zurückhaltend formuliert, angebracht.
Vor den Applaus müssen wir die Kontrolle stellen. Wir haben in der Vergangenheit mehrfach erlebt, dass große Ankündigungen aus Washington nicht automatisch eine langfristige Strategie ersetzen.
Was wir vor allem nicht dürfen: Die dringend nötige Unterstützung der Menschen im Iran, die für die Freiheit kämpfen, zu vergessen. Denn diese Menschen sind sowohl den Mullahs als auch Trump herzlich egal. Darüber kann auch ein halbseidenes Abkommen nicht hinwegtäuschen.
Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone.
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year?
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit?
Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000+ migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it?
Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite?
It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.
Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds:
No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house.

A PICTURE’S WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
On the one year anniversary of their murders, let’s not forget who showed up for Melissa and Mark Hortman’s funeral: former President Joe Biden...
He STAYED all day. Prayed. Offered a shoulder for strangers to cry on...
I step into a cafe where I work some mornings. Hadn’t read the news yet. The barista is Ukrainian. My friendly ‘morning!’ is met with a weak smile. I know what it means.
‘What happened?’
‘Pechersk Lavra is burning.’
Imagine waking every morning to the dread of finding out who Russia has killed, what Russia has destroyed in the night. Every day, for over four years.
I’ll say here what I said to her: this is Russia losing. Blind rage and destruction because they have no viable strategy, no path to victory. It doesn’t make this any better, it doesn’t bring lost loved ones or national treasures back. But it is true. Fascist Russia will destroy itself. And Ukraine will survive, will win, will rebuild. You are not alone.
The fighter yelling “Michelle Obama is a man,” at an official White House event to honor America is utterly unacceptable and the administration should denounced it in no uncertain terms.
Dobler hat über ihr Teenie-Geschmachte vergessen, wie viele tote Kinder auf sein Konto gehen.
Mich erreichen erschütternde Nachrichten von meinem Patenkind im Tschad, dessen Familie Todesfälle baklagt, weil Musk ihnen lebensnotwendige Medikamente und Nahrungsmittel genommen hat.
I love that a Black woman is responsible for this. 😂
Shout out to @RepBeatty for filing the lawsuit to get Trump‘s name removed from the Kennedy Center
France's Foreign Minister put it well:
A strike on the Lavra is the equivalent of bombing Notre-Dame.
This is what russia calls defending Christianity.
a 13 year-old cant vote, cant drink, can't drive, but somehow she's "mature enough" to be a mother?? you're not "pro-life", this is state sanctioned child abuse.
Bundesregierung entdeckt, dass chinesische Unternehmen durch staatliche Subventionen höhere Marktanteile erzielen und will nun etwas dagegen unternehmen. Es reiht sich ein in andere Fälle, bei denen auch festzustellen ist: Mindestens zehn Jahre zu spät.
When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
