My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve_news. We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now. Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Women's sport has lost such a strong advocate. He inspired us all to be our best selves. We are all broken hearted.

@jpbozeman @carlquintanilla @politico Anyone who believes that Trump has come out on top after his illegal war, has to be mentally retarded. You could make the same ridiculous comments about American disasters in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, this is even worse, as you have lost all credibility globally.

@carlquintanilla @politico Iran’s navy: obliterated Iran’s Air Force: obliterated Iran’s enriched uranium: under rubble Iran’s leaders that got them here: obliterated Iran’s weapon-making ability: obliterated Iran’s leaders are boxed in, biggly.

An extremely sobering piece about how boxed in the US truly is. @politico politico.com/news/2026/04/0…

@BladeoftheS I disagree. By the time of Dday the Soviets were taking massive casualties, Stalin was pressing the West to open another front. The West were worried that Stalin might negotiate his own peace treaty with Germany. The West could have ceased sending aid to the Soviets at any time.

You people really need to learn your history. By the time of the D-Day landings all the Allied leadership was bothered about was preventing Soviet complete victory. They knew the Nazis were finished.

Literally the only reason D-Day happened was because the Western Allies were terrified of what would happen if the USSR won the war by themselves.

Why hasn't the government stepped in to protect us from this robbery?

@SceneinCinema @PeritaRisus Well said.

Daniel Radcliffe says that J.K. Rowling's transphobic comments left him deeply saddened: “It makes me really sad, ultimately. Because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic.” He confirmed that he has not had any contact with Rowling since she began making the comments and added that he would “continue to support the rights of all LGBTQ people”. “Jo, obviously Harry Potter would not have happened without her, so nothing in my life would have probably happened the way it is without that person. But that doesn’t mean that you owe the things you truly believe to someone else for your entire life.” “Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I.”

@PressSec Notice how, no matter how much botox and hair dye you use, it can't hide how ugly you are on the inside.

Notice how both the Washington Post and New York Times use the same stupid Democrat talking point to downplay crimes committed by illegal aliens:

@PM_ViktorOrban Stop talking shite, take Hungary out of the EU and rejoin the new Soviet bloc.

💶 If the war ends, funding ends. Ukraine’s plan: make sure the war doesn’t stop. 🇭🇺🇨🇿🇸🇰 Thankfully, common sense still prevails in Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. We will not risk our families’ future by sending € billions to fund someone else’s war. The time for PEACE is NOW.

@Kimarielennon @DonaldTrump Allow UK bases to be used by the most corrupt western leader in history, to launch an illegal war, to distract from more revelations of him being a child rapist. Is it possible for someone to be as brain dead as you?

I'm so fucking embarrassed by my Prime Minister of the UK to not allow Trump to use our RAF bases. Not in our name @DonaldTrump

@fitzr1122 Catholics made up the majority of the social/economic classes that tend to have more offspring. A protestant friend of mine, from the landed class, once explained how they aimed to have two sons, one got the land, the other an education, anymore would be sent to the military.

Part of this was due to the threat felt by Protestants at the increasing Catholic nature of the Irish state & ethnic conflict during the war of independence. But most was due to the factors that also drove Catholic emigration/population decline + British military withdrawal.

@day_jdog @OTregub @sfrantzman Tell that to the Chechens, Georgians, Moldovans and Syrians whose countries Russia has either invaded or bombed. How many countries has NATO invaded? Russian aggression is 100% responsible for this war! Russia is a criminal state, and you are a brain dead twat.

@OTregub @sfrantzman NATO expansion is 100% responsible for the war in Ukraine.

“We’re in deep trouble,” one commander reportedly said after NATO’s Hedgehog 2025 exercises in Estonia. 16,000 troops. 12 NATO countries. A team of just ~10 Ukrainian drone operators playing the “enemy.” In half a day, they simulated destroying 17 armored vehicles and hit around 30 additional targets. According to participants, the results were devastating for NATO forces. Modern war has changed. Ukraine learned it the hard way. The question is: is NATO learning fast enough? NATO needs Ukraine. wsj.com/opinion/nato-h…

@RobLooseCannon Thank you for this post

Sometimes, things that look modern and ordinary are actually ancient. Saint Winifred's well on Eustace Street in Temple Bar is one such fascinating feature. An overlooked diamond amid the cigarette butt and vomit-smeared cobblestones, which tells a tale for those with eyes and ears for history. This humble hole, fringed with a little stone wall, lies outside what is currently The Norseman pub. It was buried for centuries before its rediscovery during roadworks in the mid-1990s. Wells and holy wells specifically have a deep and timeless importance to the Irish. Water sources named after saints, like the Welsh Winifred, represent life and hope, both physically and spiritually. They are places where communities came together to draw water and worship. Dublin and North Wales were linked by prosperous trade routes since the 11th century, which may account for the naming. The location would imply its lifegiving liquid is drawn from the subterranean River Poddle or perhaps a shelf of groundwater It's amazing this centuries-old feature was lost for so long, considering how this little street corner has seen frequent changes in modern times. Highly debatable official records claim a tavern on the site since 1696. But from the 20th century at least, the nearby pub started as The Wooden Man, then became The Norseman, then J.J.O’Neill’s, Monk’s, Farrington’s, and now once again is called The Norseman. As the criminally expensive pubs came and went the secret freshwater feature was rediscovered, partially restored, and seemingly forgotten once again. The only liquids unneglected in that neighbourhood being of the alcoholic and extortionately overpriced variety. Sadly, in keeping with the general drunken, disrespectful littering in this tourist trap part of town, the medieval miracle is treated like a rubbish bin. Next time you stagger past, hopefully en route to a pub whose prices dont require remortgaging your gaff, spare a thought for Saint Winifred and her waters, which quenched our ancestors' thirst, body and soul.

@BBMagaMom You are just what America needs, another self obsessed, luney tune.

if I ever run for the U.S. House, it will be Texas, Houston area. And I won’t be showing up to make friends. I’ll be there to hold corrupt elites accountable, rip the mask off the system, and represent Americans who’ve paid the price for weak, cowardly leadership. The swamp should be nervous. 🇺🇸🔥

Call me crazy, but watching this country burn under weak leadership makes you start thinking dangerous thoughts… like maybe normal Americans who actually love this country should start running for Congress. Imagine a Congress filled with parents, patriots, and people who actually pay the price for bad policy, instead of career cowards and lobbyist puppets. We don’t need more politicians. We need backbone. 🇺🇸 🔥

@NickAdamsinUSA Are you on drugs?

No one can buy President Trump, he's one of the most successful billionaires to ever live. That's why the media and elites hate him, Trump is for the people no matter what.
