Just found out that the guy who directed "Threads" also directed "A very British coup". Suddenly things make sense.

You cut welfare spending by increasing good housing, making education inclusive, changing prison sentencing guidelines, investing in preventative health & social care, making society inclusive, enforcing employers compliance of the equality act.. NOT by punishing disabled & chronically sick people.

It turns out that the very best No Kings Day protest yesterday was the one staged by the United States Armed Forces in Washington—because if you've seen any of the military experts on social media or cable news today you know that their poor marching was deliberate and intended as an insult to Trump

Tambourines. Trumpets. "Blasting horns so the little fuckers had a terrible sleep.”

Demonstrators outside LA-area hotels—where ICE agents are believed to be sleeping—are employing creative methods to keep those agents awake.

Demonstrators are trying to make sure ICE agents can’t sleep

Mega historical bust ups. A thread.

1. King John and Philip of France

The powerful foreigner cynically helped put the incompetent, odious sex offender on the throne only to launch an all out war against him.

John bankrupted his kingdom, fell out with everyone and shat himself to death

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz.

The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

For the July/August issue of @motherjones.com, I dived into Elon Musk's relationship with Aspie supremacy and how it's promoted online. This ideology, coined by the late autistic blogger Mel Baggs, also dehumanizes autistic people with high support needs. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Musk thinks autism makes him superhuman. Just don't call it that.

How is it that Trump crafts allegiance from (some) members of the public? Answers can be seen very clearly in this brief clip from his speech at the University of Alabama last week. He is playing with emotional dynamics fundamental to human functioning. THREAD.

Another reason not to vote Reform UK on 1st May
Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

Cutting disability benefits will do nothing but heighten the scapegoating of disabled people once again – how can a Labour Government introduce such a punitive measure? Penny Pepper asks
