Jess Philips is a committed and caring minister, and you, sir, are a toxic gonad. The UK is not your plaything, wealth doesn’t exempt you from international law, and owning X doesn’t give you license to poison the discourse of any country whose government you disagree with.

@broadwaybabyto Jesus Christ. I’m sorry. What a dick!

[oneplusone🇨🇦 @oneplusone10]

Poilievre is anti-universal healthcare, anti-affordable childcare, anti-LGBTQ, anti-women’s rights, anti-pension, anti-science, anti-vax, anti-union, anti-CBC, anti-gun control, anti-environment…

Time to realize he is anti-Canadian.

@Lookinupatstars God, I hope you are right.

Eric Trump,

"America doesn't need immigration, we have never needed it. We will give jobs only to real Americans"

I'm assuming he means Apache or Navajo?

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

My message to the Trump voters crowing about their victory:
You won, suck it up. Because your lives are going to be just as screwed by this result as ours are.

[Brett Meiselas @BMeiselas]

Stock markets at record highs, low unemployment, wage growth exceeds inflation, the best handling of inflation of any G7 nation, energy independence, and I can go on and on and on...But no matter how this result lands, whether VP Harris ekes this out or not, it is amazing how unappreciated successful governance was in this election and how Americans are so willing to bring back into office the guy who caused all the destruction.

A few years back in Yosemite there was a problem with bears getting into trash cans and ppl said ‘why not make the cans more complex?’ And a ranger said ‘bc there is significant overlap between the smartest bear and dumbest human’ and this election feels like that quote to me

[Jon Chater @j_chater]

Yup

[Machine Pun Kelly 🇺🇦 @KellyScaletta]

He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.

He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.

But at least he's not a Black woman.

[Reece Dinsdale @reece_dinsdale]

Here’s Froggy Farage absolutely wetting himself with joy at being name dropped by the Felon-in-Chief.
If only the people of Clacton were to stir such warm feelings and giddy excitement within him.
I’d be surprised if he could even point to it on a map!

[Jon Chater @j_chater]

This is a very good point. France is the most visited country in the World despite not having a monarchy. Blows the tourism argument for retaining the UK Royal family out of the water. #RoyalFamily #uk

[Kentish Made @kentish_made]

The Palace of Versailles has around 15 million visitors a year, and France hasn't had a monarchy for 232 years since they excuted all but one. So, for all the Royalists out there, bleeting on about tourism.....shhhhh.

[G McThink @redsnoopy69]

Stephen Harper endorsing Donald Trump is rather on brand. He also has endorsed: Victor Orban, Narendra Modi, Benjamin Netanyahu, Jair Bolsonaro, Boris Johnson, Doug Ford, Scott Moe, Jason Kenney, Andrew Scheer, Danielle Smith, Pierre Poilievre.
A Ballet of Bullshit...

[Gator⚡Gum @gator_gum]

Pierre Poilievre has had several very quiet, very exclusive fundraising events with Oil and Gas CEOs and executives. He has brought in "massive amounts."

Subsequently, in his 20 years as an MP, he has voted 400 times against environmental or ecological protections.

[Vicki Campbell🇨🇦 @merry123459]

@JohnIbbitson Desperate? Hahaha no. Just realistic and fully aware of the existing threat. Because you forgot to mention that more than half of Poilievre’s caucus is pro life/anti abortion. I challenge you to find anyone in Trudeau’s caucus who’d advocate to take away women’s rights.

[Jon Chater @j_chater]

Hilarious / terrifying

[DCPetterson.bsky.social @dcpetterson]

As a reminder,

The US has had 46 presidents. Among them, there have been 91 criminal felony charges indicted. Those charges are distributed among the presidents as in the following list:

1/2

This is a little Russian nesting doll of nonsense -- one he seems to think his supporters won't see.

That's a tell in itself. But setting aside the dubious morality here, let's unpack the facts really quickly.

@elonmusk @SimonFidler84 Driving a garbage truck. Probably the only job he’s qualified to do.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump’s abortion bans have created a health care crisis.

I trust women to make decisions about their own bodies.
