Americans are raised from birth on a simple gospel: everyone wants to live here. The greatest country. The dream. Come one, come all. Except they don’t. No European is packing their bags for a country where a burst appendix can take your house. Where you can lose everything you’ve ever worked for because your pancreas had a bad Tuesday. The United States spends more on F-35s and aircraft carriers than the next ten countries combined. It has not won a war since 1945. It has, however, won the GDP numbers, which are genuinely extraordinary, and which Americans will mention within four seconds of any conversation about healthcare, housing, or the fact that 530,000 of their fellow citizens go bankrupt every year for getting ill. Sixteen other countries solved this. But sure. The jets look fantastic. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

BREAKING: Israel is dropping bombs on residential neighborhoods across multiple villages in South Lebanon right now. Civilians are being directly targeted. And they still call this a “ceasefire.”

There’s a strong argument Trump is a greater force for global instability than Putin. The world order rests on Washington, not Moscow. So that should be obvious. & Israel is killing more civilians than Russia, with US consent. The numbers are clear. Let’s be grown ups please.

This image is gonna get more likes than the Israeli flag.

🥲❤️ This is why football is more than just a game... Carla, Go Ahead Eagles’ laundry worker for 27 years, is retiring at the end of the season. Before the match against AZ Alkmaar, the club and fans surprised her with a special tifo. She was left speechless. 🫂

I’ll correct that: Violent, male domestic abusers terrorised a house for vulnerable adults because they were radicalised and mobilised by racist disinformation. The truth doesn’t hold any weight on this app though.

There is no dispute that dogs can be trained to rape people. In Pinochet's Chile, a German Shepherd named Volodia was trained to rape inmates. In the case of Israel, we have multiple testimonies from Palestinian detainees, as well as Israeli guards.

@jamesphilips88 This is prejudiced and personally offensive. I’ve known two Palestinian journalists who were later killed by the IDF. Neither was a ‘terrorist’; both could be critical of Hamas and Hezbollah, and both had a genuine dedication to telling the truth.

Sanchez model: Re-industrialisation via Chinese FDI. All in on renewables (yes, I know, Britain doesn’t have Spain’s solar potential!) Coalition builder among middle powers. Source of moral authority as US legitimacy erodes. - Smart strategy. Britain should have done it.

I had to spend an afternoon at the children’s hospital A little boy, IV in hand, walking out of oncology in an N95. His parents behind him, unmasked. Something about that moment I can’t shake—the smallest person in the room holding the most responsibility for his own safety.

Four months after George Orwell published 1984, his former teacher sent him a letter. Aldous Huxley had one message: you described the wrong dystopia. 🧵

Orwell described a nightmare you would recognize. You'd feel the boot. You'd know the cage. That tangibility is what makes resistance possible. Huxley described something harder: a cage you'd furnish yourself, and call home. The most dangerous tyranny needs no enforcement, because the population enforces it voluntarily. Look around. Which dystopia are you living in?

Gaza levelled, snipers on elevated mounds built from the pulverised earth, shooting anyone who crosses an unmarked line, including children. What word would we use to describe the concentration of a people into a small camp under threat of death?

Residents across West Northamptonshire are beginning to feel the impact of the Reform administration who have only been elected for one year. After the budget was pushed through last month, the impact of the budget is now coming to fruition. Here are some of the things they've introduced through West Northants Council 👇: 🔶️ Reform are charging people to use our Country Parks, including in West Hunsbury in my ward.🌳 🔶️ Removed free parking on the weekends in out Town Centre, whilst increasing parking charges. ❌️ 🔶️ Are charging blue badge holders to park at WNC car parks 😳 🔶️ Increased Council Tax, but failed to collect the bins on the same day (you couldn't make it up). ♻️ 🔶️Increased green waste bins charges. 🚮 What they haven't done is cut waste, stop the boats or reduced Council Tax, as they promised in their LOCAL election leaflets in May 2025. Welcome to a Reform run administration 🙄😤

All due respect, but Lynch is part of the problem here. However much criticism is directed at Starmer, the failure to recognise that the Labour Party itself has fundamentally and irreversibly transformed into a party of corporate interests, Thatcherites and warmongers gives legitimacy to its agenda – as well as undermining effective opposition. Fine to not be a Green, but frankly insane and inexcusable for someone of his level of influence on the Left to continue supporting Labour.

'I have pleaded not guilty. In Great Britain, accurately describing an ideology as supremacist is not a crime.' 'The prosecution calls my speech "terrorism". I call it solidarity and principle.' Free Palestine. Free Britain. Central Criminal Court. 24 March 2026.

There is nothing antisemitic about supporting the Palestinian people.

We made it all thanks to Paul, who drove us for over an hour! @SunderlandAFC, find this fan and give him whatever he wants #SAFC #NFFC

Be a shame if violent criminal grifter Danny Tommo was charged with inciting disorder in Epsom after spreading lies about gang rape by migrants.
