America’s favorite sport: saying the right thing and hoping no one checks the scoreboard.

Dear international friends,

Do not travel to the United States this summer for the World Cup. It isn't safe for us, and it's absolutely not safe for you.

Sincerely,

An American citizen

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23.

20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t.

They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.

For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

So there’s no regime change, we lift all sanctions against them going back decades, they retain missile and drone capabilities, they control the strait and can charge tolls, and keep their enriched uranium. So much for “unconditional surrender.”

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”.

I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

“National boundaries are not evident when we view the Earth from space. Fanatic ethnic or religious… identifications are a little difficult to support when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to become an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of the stars.”

Donald Trump’s idiotic war with Iran – cheered on by Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage – is meaning you're paying more at the pump.

We want to cut fuel duty by 10p a litre and keep Britain moving.

Can't wait for the country to give this lot 4 years and then cry about what they've done 4 weeks later.

At least Tories/Labour vaguely hide their inner evil.

You are basically voting for Mr Burns and believing he will help you.

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point.

Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states.

In 1974 he resigned.

By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him.

Looking forward to history repeating itself.

Apollo 11’s lunar lander remains, imaged from orbit by five different countries:

NASA (USA)
ISRO (India)
KARI (South Korea)
JAXA (Japan)
CNSA (China)

Independent confirmation from multiple space agencies leaves little room for doubt, if there ever was any.

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

While the President sends more American troops to the Middle East, the price of everything - groceries, gas, mortgages - keeps rising.

Let’s be clear: we are worse off today, and no safer, than before this unnecessary war began.

BBC News covering Farage rally launch of Reform local election campaign in Sunderland. live uninterrupted coverage and lots and lots of bigging up from the commentary. ‘Other parties have to launch in the mornings’… what ??? Reform has 10 councils. LibDems control or lead in 89. Where’s the context?

A state visit is the highest diplomatic honour we can bestow.

It must not be used to reward a President who has launched an illegal war, brought UK troops into harm’s way, and driven up energy and petrol prices for British families.

If Trump’s war pushes up energy bills, the Chancellor’s narrow plans simply won’t cut it.

So can the Prime Minister at least guarantee – that he won’t let energy bills go up by £500 this year?

A classic black-and-white studio portrait of Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826–1898), the pioneering American suffragist, abolitionist, freethinker, and advocate for Native American rights. Captured in her later years (likely 1880s or early 1890s), she is shown in a three-quarter profile view, gazing slightly to the left with a calm, resolute, and intellectual expression—lips gently closed, eyes sharp and thoughtful beneath a high forehead. Her white hair is neatly styled into an elegant braided crown or bun, adorned with a small dark ribbon or comb at the top. She wears a dark Victorian-era dress with a high lace collar, fitted bodice, and intricate lace trim at the neckline and cuffs, accented by a dark jacket or shawl with textured fabric and a single visible button or brooch. The soft lighting highlights the fine lines of age on her face while emphasizing her dignified posture and the quiet strength that defined her lifelong activism. This dignified image captures Gage as a radical leader in the women's suffrage movement—co-founder of the National Woman Suffrage Association, co-author of the first three volumes of History of Woman Suffrage, and author of Woman, Church and State—whose bold critiques of patriarchy, organized religion, and government oppression made her one of the most uncompromising voices of first-wave feminism.

The #MatildaEffect (systematic denial of recognition to women scientists) was named after suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage (d. #OTD in 1898).

"The woman who was ahead of the women who were ahead of their time" was a writer, activist, abolitionist & Native American rights advocate. #WomensHistoryMonth
