What do these corporations have in common?

-Amazon
-AT&T
-Home Depot
-Microsoft
-Palantir

They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine.

Always follow the money.

If you are planning a Birding trip to Scotland, I recommend downloading “Where To Watch Birds In Scotland” app by The Scottish Ornithologists' Club @scottishbirding.bsky.social I have found it very useful and it’s one of my favourite apps to use to look for new places.

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Trump avoided military service 5 times.

How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Machado, “I presented the President of the United States the medal, the Nobel peace prize…”

"And the recognition for his unique commitment for our freedom"

Meanwhile Trump puts $500 million from the sale of Venezuelan oil, not in the Venezuela, not in the US, but in a bank in Qatar 🤷‍♂️

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.
