Everyone in this administration is a grifter. America is not being governed, it's being looted.

Outstanding coverage here from @lgbtqnation Every underline is a link to proof of Harry Potter (children's) author JK Rowling's incessant transphobic bigotry. Thanks to recent elections, Rowling now has TWO trans representatives in Scotland, where she famously resides.

Louis Pasteur: Why the fuck did I even bother? Should’ve just let you all shit yourselves to death. All the best, now.

12 Down. Only 5 days. Newly elected #Reform councillor resigns. What is it, £20,000 a time for a re-run? How much is this going to cost nationwide? theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

The first honest thing he’s said

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night. The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power. #Bafta #Baftas

Israel dropped bombs on a school run by nuns today in Nabatieh, South Lebanon. They obliterated it. Not a military site. A school run by religious sisters.

For the first time ever, I won’t be watching #Eurovision and it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if Israel wins as it will send a message to the EBU of what a mockery they have made of the competition, manipulating the voting and undermining everything the contest stood for.

I join Amnesty International in condemning #Eurovision and call everyone with a conscience not to watch it. BIG THANK YOU to the 5 countries who withdrew from the competition: Iceland! Ireland! Netherlands! Slovenia! Spain! Put Apartheid out of our lives.

That's an awfully long blink!

Admitting he's done things he should have been jailed for. It's a start.

@elia_mafhh @BettyBuckley How does he look like a baby and an old man at the same time?! 😭

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. As a child psychologist, it’s a perfect example of joint attention, preverbal communication, and coregulation.

Not a single person in this photo was born in the United States of America.

🇺🇸RUBIO: "Iran is violating every law by striking ships in the Hormuz.." 🇮🇷IRAN: "US and Israel blew up 600 schools, killed over 1000 students in last 30 days. WAS THAT LEGAL?”

If 51 Jews were killed in 24hrs, every world leader would issue a statement of condemnation & it would be described as the nth worst antisemitic massacre since the holocaust. When Israel kills 51 people in Lebanon in 24hrs, it's called a ceasefire.
