Is this the world we live in now? A world where it’s seemingly OK to pick out the most ostracised people in society and abuse them for no good reason? It’s time folk started speaking out against this bigotry. JK Rowling really is on the wrong side of history here. Sad times.

The angry orange dictator promised to end the wars in Gaza & Ukraine with one phone call. 5 months later, the Ukraine war has escalated due to Trump's meddling & Netanyahu is still bombing Gaza. He is now crashing the global economy. Impeach this clown immediately.

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

Every single disabled person I know either works very hard, is a productive member of society, or would love to work but can’t because they’re incapacitated by an illness or disability.
For Labour to punish cancer sufferers, wheelchair users or severely mentally ill people is Nazi bullshit.

Britain has pretty low unemployment. In general, everyone who can work is working, and the ones who aren't working either can't work or aren't needed. So what the government is talking about here is performative punishment for not being needed. That's deeply inhuman and worthy of the far right.

When I think of friends and family who would be quite literally lost without this support, Labour’s proposed disability benefits cuts are frankly beyond disgusting.

Had thousands of followers on Twitter / X.
But then Elon Musk took over and I started to criticise Donald Trump and my account seems to have become restricted. Went from 1000s of views/reacts to basically being invisible.
Did this happen to anyone else? X is basically unusable now in my opinion.

So the UK Labour Party are about to cut benefits from the UK’s poorest and most vulnerable people - the disabled.
They’ve hammered the pensioners and now they’re going after people with disabilities.
Hate to say it but the Tories were way less cruel. The Labour Party has become the nasty party.

The Trump effect? The dollar has fallen sharply against the Euro, the Pound, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, and more. The people of the USA are going to feel the effects of the Trumpcession very soon and I suspect that they won’t be very happy about it.
