Sorry, should say so fab this is out!! Thanks, autocorrect 😂

So fab this out!!

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

Trump, IRS In Talks To Settle U.S. President's $10 Billion Lawsuit Trump's adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization are also plaintiffs.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.

I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship ser...

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

The point of the university as a concept is that it's been here for a thousand years and meant to be here another thousand. Turning education over to producing what the market needed five years ago is never going to work well.

"So, rather than asking whether the US military is hiding casualties, a more productive question is this: What kinds of deaths are allowed to appear, and under what conditions? ... Because the ...  numbers themselves are part of the machinery through which war is made acceptable."

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

I can't alt text all of this, but it's about insider trading running rampant in the WH and friends and family

This guy says what I've been trying to say, only he's better at laying it out. I know Hegseth profited *right before* things went sideways.

Inside Alligator Alcatraz, Wasserman Schultz finds men crammed in cages, smell of urine, inadequate food ‘Everything about this screams inhumane and unnecessary, and the cruelty is the point,’ U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said about the Alligator Alcatraz detention center in the Everglades.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.

I have had some version of "he wants all of us to be buried with him" in stuff I've written about Trump in the past and usually but not always taken it out. It didn't like looking at it, mostly, but over time it just became one of those things that was too obvious to bother with. It's all sickening.

People need to realize the 25th Amendment is HARDER than impeachment and removal. MUCH.

Impeachment/removal: majority House and 2/3 Senate.

25th Amendment: VP, majority Cabinet, then 2/3 each House and Senate.

I mean, come on folks.

‘I see it as trafficking’: the brutal reality of life as a foreign student in the UK The long read: Universities in Britain rely on overseas applicants paying full fees, which has given rise to some unscrupulous recruiters and left many hopefuls and their families deep in debt

This is sickening.

Trump appears to be set to bomb the power plants' "generation hulls." That could disable electric power for many months. As one expert tells me, this would "almost surely lead to a major humanitarian disaster for tens of millions of ordinary Iranians." 4/

Trump Threatens to Kill Thousands More Iranians in Unnerving Tirades In a blunt warning, Senator Chris Murphy tells us that “everybody in that chain of command has to think hard” about carrying out such a hideously inhumane order, which he described as “war crimes.”

If Trump bombs power plants in Iran, the humanitarian crisis will be horrific. Experts tell me to expect water shortages, closed hospitals, many deaths.

“We’ve never had a US president so proudly promise to commit war crimes," Sen Chris Murphy says. 1/

Again - Brits who are horrified by the actions of ICE in the US should pay attention to the cruelty and violence that their own government inflicts on immigrants here.

In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

“Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object,” a young representative named Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1848. This was “understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” This quote, incidentally, is immortalized on the House’s website, if any members of Congress are looking for it.

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Maybe instead of running around filming workout videos for social media, renaming bases, hunting DEI, firing outstanding officers, and fighting to restrict press access, Pete Hegseth should’ve been studying the war in Ukraine to learn something about modern drone warfare.

Worms in food, poor medical care, lights on 24/7: Families tell of life in Texas detention center When ICE officers in Minneapolis detained a 5-year-old boy and his father last month and sent them to a Texas detention center, many Americans were alarmed.

A 13-year-old girl tried to take her life by cutting her wrists with a plastic knife from the cafeteria after guards took away drawing materials, and was put into isolation without seeing a doctor. The teen was deported to Colombia after nearly two months in confinement

[Scene is the UK tv show BARGAIN HUNT, at an antiques fair. Presenter NATASHA RASKIN SHARP, expert KATE BLISS and two contestants are shopping for antiques.] 1 NATASHA RS: Now Derek's spotted a real gem here… What is it, Kate? 2 KATE BLISS [holding an odd-looking grey item in her hands]: This, believe it or not... ...is the Rules Based International Order. [We see the item close up. It is a cracked, broken, misshapen lump of grey pottery with two holes, a UN flag daubed on it, and a random wooden handle sticking out the side. The contestants both make a face like, “Oooh” KATE BLISS: It was made in America And it's actually what we used to stop World War 3, before everyone got bored of doing that. So how it worked is, the Americans would speak a geopolitical issue into this hole here… Turn the handle…. [Speaking into the object’s hole]: Should we bomb Iran...? [Lifting her face up from the object, smiling at the contestants] …and then they'd just do whatever the f--- they liked. CONTESTANT 1 [easily impressed face]: Sounds pretty special, Julie CONTESTANT 2 [to stall holder]: We’ll give you £290. [The seller, incidentally, looks a lot like Tony Blair, but that's just a side note] [Cut to the AUCTION SCENE at the end of Bargain Hunt. The object is on the podium, the auctioneer closing the bidding]. AUCTIONEER: Sold! £3.65. CONTESTANTS: Oh noooo [We now pull back to see a wider view of the antiques fair and auction, and see that in the distance there is smoke, a distant mushroom cloud, ruined buildings] NATASHA RS [To the contestants]: Everything's riding on your mustard pot now!

British schoolgirl stranded in Denmark after return flight blocked over UK border rules Exclusive: Hanne, 16, from Sussex, was not allowed to board flight to London after weekend in Copenhagen

Exactly the kind of story I warned about a few weeks ago. Insane that the Home Office cannot just let back in a British citizen (with birth certificate in hand) who needs to do her GCSEs in a few weeks. Where is the common sense? Can Mahmood get anything right?

March 18, 2026 Today, civil rights leader Dolores Huerta issued the following statement:

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

Try: "We chose not to have an exception, even for Chevening prog. Its unfortunate + unfair to vg students identified by FCDO. But we hope that may increase our leverage with their govts"

Why do we think that in case of Afghan women+Taliban govt?

Maybe it "sends a message" here. But what message?

Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam

Oh boy! What a headline...

Ask yourself:

"What am I being asked to believe?"

"Who am I being told to blame?"

Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.

Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵
