Foreign Secretary David Lammy is making an important statement on Gaza and his Tory counterpart, Pritti Patel is not even listening - she is having an animated conversation with the woman sitting next to her. Shameful.

Republicans are the party of treating women like 3rd class citizens.
They want to control our bodies.
They want to make it more difficult for us to vote.
They want us to be subservient to our husbands.
They want the U.S. to be a real life Handmaid's Tale.
Fuck that!

Adolescence is an absolute must watch. Netflix has excelled itself this time. Brilliant acting, brilliant dialogue and amazingly well shot with each episode filmed with a single take. Incredible. Best series I have seen in many years.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

This is an excellent and worrying analysis of what's happening in Germany.
Why it is time to say goodbye to Germany as an oasis of stability, and why ironically it was JD Vance in Munich who might have helped the centrist parties to get a grip now after all.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
