That's it. That's the best picture from Saturday's No Kings protests in the USA. The literal Statue of Liberty being detained by police. It doesn't get much more poetic than this.

@wantedinrome How hot to the touch will they be in the summer direct sunlight?

Tourists lie down and sit on travertine marble slabs outside the Colosseum in the new public space designed by Italian architectural firm Stefano Boeri Interiors.

IF You get a chance.. no matter what city you are in .. go to the Symphony in your town .. it will change your life

@DeborahMeaden There are bound to be a lot of don’t knows there. The US public doesn’t know a lot and a lot don’t know.

25pc don’t!!!!!

Hey @BBCNews - you seem not to have noticed the 500,000 people marching through London against the far-right, so I’m just making you aware, cheers then.

@RichardHanania @BobKanDo What the rash preacher ignores is that what Trump says and what he means are often at odds. He declares his faith, but does he mean it? And what actions does he take contrary to his declared faith. The theology is right, the underpinnings may well be missing. No guarantees.

This is so incredibly funny. Trump can’t bully libs into giving him a Nobel, but evangelicals are glad to toss out their entire theology to guarantee him a place in heaven.

⁦@shillman1⁩ Joking aside, care is needed. I give my chatbot strict instructions to forget about the praise and challenge me with facts. But a general tone of…a vital point…..you are asking the right questions……that is well argued…remains. theguardian.com/technology/202…

@shillman1 I know what you mean. There are three of us in this marriage now.

If my family were just half as impressed with me as AI is……..

@kmbiamnozie @BlueEyedJurist So this is what makes you doubt!? You need to have a real hard think about all the degradations, lies and grift he has been putting before you for years, and wonder why you gave him habitual hall passes.

I have supported Donald Trump strongly from the beginning without hesitation. But moments like this make you pause. Did he really say that? MBS is an asslicker? Referring to Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, in such a manner? A nation that plays a central role in global energy markets and whose long-standing economic relationship with the United States has had significant implications for the dollar and global finance? This isn’t just about personalities. It’s about posture. Diplomacy. Respect between nations. Because words from a sitting U.S. President don’t just echo, they signal. To allies. To adversaries. To the world. And when that tone shifts into something more abrasive, more personal, it raises questions not just about intent, but about consequence. We’ve seen boldness before. We’ve seen unpredictability. But there’s a line between disruption and diminishing the dignity of the office. And when that line blurs, even supporters are left asking: What exactly are we witnessing? MBS, the world is watching.

Half a million in London today. The largest anti-far right march in British history. 56 billionaires own more than 27 million of us. They built the crisis, bankrolled the hate, and bought Reform UK. The streets belong to us - not to Farage, not to Musk, not to their money. x.com/PSCupdates/sta…

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached. Let’s make sure it goes viral here.

@bmay @clickma ….and very, very greedy.

No idea why anyone thinks this sneering, self-satisfied, contemptible, divisive, and deeply unserious self-publicist would be fit to run even a fairground ride, let alone a G7 economy. He’s just a tedious pantomime baddie in a suit. Idiotic and shallow.

Happy World Piano Day! A second movement of extraordinary beauty.
 This second (and final) movement of Beethoven’s Sonata op. 90 unfolds in the form of a rondo, with a captivatingly beautiful, sonorous melody. #Beethoven #Piano #ClassicalMusic #Opus109 #WorldPianoDay

@VikingurMusic Thank you for the care and imagination that you put into what you put before us.

@DamianLow3 A clean election with representation which has not been bought seems more of a human right. If that gang gets in, the human rights act would be for the chop.

You couldn’t make it up. The snowflakes in Reform getting angry again…

@Amockx2022 @BlueEyedJurist He lives in a universe of distorted mirrors. Truth becomes unrecognisable to him. He should have been removed well before now.

THIS IS ABSOLUTE COMEDY 😭 Trump 🇺🇸: I met the owner of Toyota who is 92 years old, in Japan and said 'You are Rich' and then he agreed to invest $10B in US Fun Fact 🚨: The owner of Toyota died in 2023 & the current CEO is aged only 65 y/o 🤣🤣 How does he manage to lie almost everything he speaks?

@ricwe123 He was also threatening Cuba in that little homely.

After the US forcibly seized Nicolás Maduro and plunged headfirst into yet another war with Iran, it’s downright absurd to hear Marco Rubio lecturing anyone about “international law” or “maritime law” The hypocrisy is staggering, preaching rules and norms while trampling over them whenever it’s convenient.....

@SistaRuthDOPD No one forced these women.

Is a society that compels women to mutilate themselves, in this way, really any less oppressive than one that forces them to wear a hijab?

@JMPSimor Dadaesque absurdity, performance art for this tainted age.

Spiralling into the depths of insanity and taking us all with him.
