Food for thought:
In '24, 245M Americans were eligible to vote.
just 73.6 % of those (174M) registered to vote.
just 154M of them actually voted.
US voter turnout ranked in bottom 1/3 of all democracies.
This is how democracy dies.
Too many people have taken too much for granted for too long
Trump attacked the Pope then posted an AI image of himself as Jesus.
Hey, Christians, what’s worse? Trump posting a meme depicting himself as Jesus, or Trump lying about posting a meme depicting himself as Jesus?
Donald Trump as Jesus healing a sick man in bed. Behind him is the American flag. Surrounded by him are soldiers and nurses.
Trump just posted this of him as Jesus. Straight up heresy.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
We have never looked more feckless and ridiculous to the entire world.
It seems America has run on the honor system for 250 years. Then we ran out of honor.
A madman is in charge and he’s surrounded by cowards. Now we find that impeachment is meaningless. The 25th amendment is meaningless. The Bill of Rights is meaningless. And the Constitution is meaningless.
And just think, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage wanted us to join this madness.
The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic.
Boy, did they screw up.
Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Strongest words yet from Keir Starmer on UK role in Iran conflict: "This is not our war, and we are not getting dragged into this war."
Probably just a coincidence
So much shit is happening that every day there is less and less talk about the Epstein files. He raped and beat little girls, ffs.
Robert Mueller, a Vietnam veteran with a bronze star for heroism, and a purple heart has passed away. Perhaps his biggest honor was trying to save our democracy. I REFUSE to let him be a punchline for our deranged president. Robert Mueller was a hero and may he rest in peace and watch over us. Amen.
Truly magnanimous! #statesman Americans must be so proud of their elected leader.
This is utterly jaw-dropping.
A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils.

Who? This guy? I think you’ll find he’s a genius. He has a Nobel peace prize and a FIFA one, #FFS
If I know Jesus, like I think I do, I bet he’s loving this.
How come America has all the great leaders?
Is this the greatest man in America? #statesman
Hey America,
Well done on electing this great statesman. What will he do next? #FFS
Attention BBC and Daily Mail newsdesks. It is being reliably reported that Reform UK MP Richard Tice dodged a £600,000 tax bill. Where's the media coverage?
Europeans when asked to unblock the Strait of Hormuz:
‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."
