Made so many amazing memories last night #oafc This was truly a win for the ages: a blend of memories of those we have lost during these turgid and sterile years and the sheer joy on the faces on the new generation of Latics fans. Wonderful to share times like this with family +friends. Special. 😍

The betrayal of Ukraine is nigh. We must stand up to Trump or the consequences will last for generations - and cost many innocent lives.

Hang it in the Louvre! #Trump
Wow! Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, had an opportunity & she took it.
Speaking directly to Trump/Vance, she advocates for the LGBT community & immigrants.
“The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They are good neighbours.”
The look on JD Vance’s face…

Trump’s response, of course, is ‘drill, baby, drill’ 🤦
Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.
Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.
But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.
What planet are they living on?

The embers that remain of any free-thinking media must fight hard against the ‘normalisation’ of Trump’s naked aggression to Canada, Greenland & Panama. With Meta ditching fact checking and X drink driving international domestic interference we are truly through the looking glass now. So worried.

Exactly what I was expecting but worse. We are living in a very scary world now for at least the next five years unless the remaining good actors can stand together - and fast.
Well, that was fucking crazy. Congrats America.

Gutted tonight’s #oafc game is off. Am not totally convinced it’s the right decision -but what’s not open to debate is that to only let people know there was any doubt just an hour and 15 minutes from kick off is poor form.

Still recovering from the eight and a half hour drive yesterday. Also got a bad burn to my hand from spilling nuclear reactor-warmed coffee. Despite all that - and the manner the team was robbed - I’m only taking positives from it. Great family time + such a spirited and positive performance 👍 #oafc

Excellent thread ⬇️
1. For those attempting to make sense of Trump’s victory and the rise of the far-right across Europe - look no further than the PMs statement below.
Whether you like it or not, the far-right has a set of common narratives. We can probably all recite them…
