the news cycles haven’t moved on from the last shooting, and now we have another one. this is a fascist government brutalising its own citizens. Lord, have mercy.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal immigration officers shoot and wound 2 people in Portland, Oregon, authorities say.

i’m starting to realise that charismatic revivals fizzle out so easily because, very simply, God is not a charismatic. grounding faith in emotional, experiential highs and lows means that when the ‘lows’ hit, it can seem as if He has gone
when the singing stops, God is still there. He never left.

i’ll say it again, it’s genuinely **remarkable** how suspicious everyone on the traitors is of anyone who isn’t a white gay man

if you lectured people about political violence when charlie kirk was murdered but are silent over the broad-daylight murder of an american citizen by a fascist militia run by the government, you might want to examine your conscience a little bit.

Inside Trump's deportation 'goon squads' that are blueprint for Farage's Britain
Armed ICE officers ruthlessly swoop on US homes in the dead of night, rounding up men and locking them in shackles ready for deportation. The Mirror has watched them in action

It's wild that the government and the opposition both agree X is a problem, but won't commit to doing anything about it!
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.
Says "all options are on the table" but suggests it's a matter for Ofcom, not Government

PMQs shows just how poor our political discussion is. two leaders who won’t have 100 seats between them at the next election shouting buzzwords at each other for half an hour. 30 seconds of guff with *GERRY ADAMS* or *JEREMY CORBYN* thrown in there for fear, while Reeves nods along like a child.

Call me old-fashioned, but following evidence-based policy on reducing alcohol limits to reduce "killing off" pedestrians and other road users seems pretty sensible.
It's not actually obligatory to drink booze in a pub, plenty of modern non-alcoholic options.
Also let's improve walking routes!

No one is asking Wes Streeting to be a commentator.
Asking him to be a government minister when the whole world can see Trump breaking international law whilst threatening Greenland next, and the Cabinet (with Nigel Farage) seems perfectly fine with it.

Wes Streeting is asked if Trump has broken international law when it comes to Venezuela. Streeting says he's got nothing to add and he's not here to be a commentator.
I mean, which idiot thinks politicians should answer questions when they're being interviewed in a TV studio!

mike tapp belongs in the EDL, i cannot fathom how he is a labour minister.
Govt minister Mike Tapp refuses to say that the US should not attack Denmark and Greenland.
Moments later he declares that sticking to international law is what we stand for as a country.

the natural consequences of this labour government’s failure to uphold international law in Palestine - we have no credibility, anything goes, despots and dictators can do whatever they want (so long as they’re our allies!)
Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical.
It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.
And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

i can’t stand the pre-amble one has to go through in order to state a view which might not chime with the mainstream establishment position. i shouldn’t have to wax lyrical about my fervent hatred for maduro in order to criticise the US for illegally attacking a country and kidnapping its leader.
