I've loved #EstéeLauder moisturisers for years
Today, I phoned to say I would not buy their products again because Lauder supports Trump's campaign of hatred, violence, racism, and violating Greenland.
I was emphatically assured my comments would be passed on.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Regular reminder that an anti-immigrant idiot with hateful tendencies towards minorities, is also funded by oligarch immigrants from Iran, Ghandeharis, who are alleged to be behind the purchase of his foreign national girlfriend’s house in Clacton and to have funded his weird trip to Davos.

Is Farage suggesting that Alex Pretti's tragic murder was 'not quite fair'?
Left: Nigel Farage suggests that Alex Pretti was openly carrying a gun
Right: Evidence shows Alex Pretti had a phone in one hand, and the other hand was empty

This is why Braverman and Farage want to leave ECHR
They want an ICE type force in this country and don't want to be 'hamstrung' by inconsequential things like human rights!

A colleague of mine has created a Parliamentary petition to end the use of Palantir for NHS and MoD contracts. She needs more people to sign it before it's accepted. Any volunteers? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...
Petition: End the use of Palantir in the NHS and MoD, to safeguard UK national security.
Contracts involving UK citizens' personal data and UK's sensitive military data should not be contracted out behind closed doors to a foreign entity. The government should review Palantir's contracts ...

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

#fifa #worldcup2026 should not go ahead in the States. Can Mexico and Canada fill the void? - #shit4brains would threaten 100% tariffs but thats it. Infantino will do nothing as he panders to dictators despite safety fears for fans, so its down to the confederations. Action is needed urgently.

The leaders of Albania & Azerbaijan were filmed mocking US Trump for claiming he ended a war between the 2 countries, even though they have never fought each other.

He’s destroying our country. Congress must act.

Just one reason in so many why Farage should never be PM is his atrocious judgement. If you accept the premise that nothing is ever his fault then he appears to surround himself with complete incompetents, from vetting candidates to completing expenses!
