Trump: "I like to hang around with losers; it makes me feel better"

Today is Holy Monday - the day Jesus threw the merchants and money changers out of the temple. He was incensed at them for commercialising a house of prayer.
What would Jesus think of those "conservatives" who see religion as a way to spread hatred and make money?

Queer be Dragons The long history of queer people as monsters - and the dangerous return of that story

As a gay man, this piece really resonated with me.

Why have queer people so often been cast as monsters - and why is that language creeping back now?

A brilliant guest piece by @sachacoward.bsky.social that I’m very proud to publish.

Expat influencers sold Dubai to the world and were paid to look the other way. Now the dream is crumbling Brigid Delaney The Maseratis are borrowed, the helicopters rented by the hour. But deep down Dubai is a lonely place, built by oppressed people

How terribly, terribly sad for them - discovering that those highly curated, impossibly perfect lives, built on the backs of modern slavery, might not be quite so comfortable after all.

Ag shame.

His lapel pin appears to be a noose.

Hey Congress,

Any President, regardless of political party, who threatens to order the United States Military to commit war crimes needs to be impeached immediately.

If he does give these orders, he should be handed over to the International Criminal Court.

Starmer gives doctors 48 hours to cancel strike or lose new jobs package The prime minister says the NHS could lose 1,000 extra training places if resident doctors go ahead with a six-day strike next week.

The NHS's ability to tackle waiting lists and treat patients is being severely constrained by shortages of key doctor groups. Will the Prime Minister’s threat to take away 1,000 extra training places if strikes are not called off not worsen the situation?

Polanski talks up teacher pay rises, scaling back exams and fighting far right - taxing the rich to pay for it all.

Fair play from the Mail.

I said what I said.

Trump to the UK, 6 March: "We don't need them any longer... We don't need people to join wars after we've already won!"

Trump six days later: Publicly begs for the UK to send warships.

If only there had been some sort of clue that Trump is a grotesque idiot…

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday

Today is a brand new page.

Take a deep breath, take one teeny- tiny step, and believe in yourself a little more than yesterday.

You’re doing better than you think.

Now go shine……

Literally this

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.
You broke it Don, you fix it.

Night night sweet dreamies

If this found its way to you today, take it as a reminder that you are braver, wiser, and more resilient than you sometimes feel.

You’re doing better than you think you are

You are ❤️

Home Office refuses to exempt exceptional students from tough immigration rules Exclusive: Foreign secretary Yvette Cooper concerned about student visa ban on female Chevening scholars from volatile countries such as Afghanistan

This is appalling. The Home Office rejected an appeal from the foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, that would have protected outstanding students in some of the world’s most dangerous countries from changes to the UK’s immigration system

This is 45-year-old MAGA fascist Chad Michael Watts. After attacking a high school girl who was peacefully protesting against the pedophile führer and his ICE Nazis, the high school students kicked the crap out of him. Watts was later arrested by police and charged with assault.

Boris Johnson’s Deputy Chief of Staff here, worried that secretly-funded lobby groups masquerading as ‘think tanks’ might finally be held to account. Because of course she bloody is.

Back, Briefly, and Bearing News Good morning, all.

A quick small update from my teaspoonless serviced apartment in Manchester.

Long and short of it, I have a new job!

Whoop whoop!

So true. Also, many of the Americans doing literally nothing about Epstein’s American ‘associates’ are precisely the ones lying about Europe & particularly the UK being overrun with child-rapists. It’s insane.

Elon's head on Eminem's body from the music video Stan with text saying "Dear Jeff, I wrote you but you still ain't calling."

I doubt I'll see a better meme this year.

You can't pass an unprecedented law to strip me of my peerage! I quit!

New Epstein files fail to quell outrage as advocates claim documents are being withheld Advocates call for further disclosures after Trump’s justice department released more than 3m files last week

New Epstein files fail to quell outrage as advocates claim documents are being withheld

It’s happening. Tell me again about ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’…

What the fuck is it going to take for MAGA Americans to come to the realization that there is an honest to goodness pedophile in the Oval Office? 😳👇

Reader Contribution: America on the cusp: Phones vs Fascism We are watching a US inflexion point, where citizen action is confronting state violence and hardening authoritarianism. Where will it lead?

America is approaching a genuine inflection point:

Phones, citizens and visibility on one side.

State power, fear and authoritarian drift on the other.

@claireaj.bsky.social brilliantly analyses where the US currently finds itself, and where we go from here.

Well worth a read and a follow.
