North Korea may have been a better choice for the World Cup!

It's pretty extraordinary timing in a case that has been running since 2020 & publication of Russia Report.

@carolinelucas.bsky.social @benbradshaw.bsky.social @alynsmith.bsky.social have persevered even tho they've now left parliament.

Why - even now - is UK govt refusing to investigate???

Why don’t his Republican representatives realise how completely mad he is and remove him. They are all stained by his behaviour as they accept it.

Zack, you have the most British teeth in politics.

They are a national treasure and anyone who doesn’t like them are not patriots and doesn’t love “are country”.

🇺🇸 🔥 That. Was. Impressive.

We are watching America reassert itself and its values from the grassroots up. The world saw you and we have huge hope invested in you.

A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

Along with other prevarication (I need to sort so much “stuff” out ready to put furniture in storage I am doom scrolling and the question of the moment is, how many other governments send a convoy of large cars to follow a VP on holiday and do all visitors drive on the side they drive on at home?

Is this for Trump or the army’s birthday. Also having seen members of army cheering Hegseth’s divisive rant, is the army there what it once was? Thought army there for constitution and your country not political?

Another reason not to travel to USA.

"The Marines in LA? This is the vision. This is the dream. It’s the cleansing fire Bannon has babbled about for years. A civil war not of clashing ideologies, but of targeted annihilation. Of dominance. Of revenge." @therickwilson.bsky.social

Elderflower cordial tastes like summer in a glass. Just steep 25 flower heads with lemon zest, juice, sugar, hot water, and citric acid for 24 hours. Strain and bottle. Simple, thrifty, and delicious—perfect in fizz, on fruit, or in a cheeky G&T. A bit of homemade joy in every sip. 🌱

Dispatch from L.A.: Protesters march, police surround, and the cycle resets As hundreds gathered to oppose ICE raids, a familiar pattern played out: peace by day, flash-bangs by night.

Hundreds are protesting ICE raids in Los Angeles this week.

Yesterday’s crowd stayed peaceful—until police moved in, declared an unlawful assembly, and fired flash-bang grenades.

How Trump's 'Gold Standard Science' is Dangerously Undermining Global Research Integrity

The President is threatening US scientific credibility and global cooperation, reports Paul Dempsey

Seemed peaceful until they got there. Strange this meant sending in forces but Jan 6th simply meant watching on screen and rubbing hands gleefully. Guess we will have to agree to disagree on our perspectives.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Saw this on Threads!
