We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

#Trump shoud not get the #Nobel peace prize this year.
They should tell him he'll get it next year if he gets Russia out of Ukraine.

If we were to write down the 100 worst things ever done by an American president, I'd guess about 90 of them would be by Trump, probably more. Watergate might just sneak into the top 80.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Think it might be time to look again at Israel's participation in #Eurovision. This, and the genocide ...
As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'.

I ask you.

Do you stand with Greta Thunberg?

Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

Reform is not a political party, it is a pseudo-religious cult. This letter was in today's Metro, and apparently without any intended irony. It is terrifying that these people live amongst us.

"They're eating the Swans ... they're eating the geese ... they're eating the birds ... of the people that live there"

OK he didn't mention geese, but otherwise it's a close copy of Trump's statement from the presidential debate.
Farage is literally turning into a British Trump.

Scientist when something is backed by a mountain of evidence:
"I'm 99% sure that it's true."

RW nutter when something is backed by no evidence at all:
"I'm 100% sure that it's true."

Unusually robust form of Red Helleborine Cephalanthera rubra from Austrian Tyrol. Very long leaves and bracts. #Orchids #EuropeanOrchids
