Ukraine must win against Ruzzian invaders. NAFO. I’m against nationalists & authoritarian regimes. Ban the billionaire oligarchs. Eat the rich.
- Republicans aren't just ignoring Trump's graft, they're enabling it. So House Democrats should start treating them as accomplices. A good place to start? Pressuring James Comer. Gift link: wapo.st/431rQCY
- How much longer will Putin be allowed to continue stalling for time? #Ukraine
- Render Caesar unto sausage.
- If you want your enemies weak, treat them well. If you wish to create formidable enemy warriors with a grudge, treat them like the Russians have treated Ukraine.
- Any Spurs fans struggling for a property in Bilbao? I'm now not going but have a double room for 2 guests on Tuesday-Thursday at the Ibis Budget which is like a 10min walk from the ground. Can cancel it but would rather it went to a spurs fan than a United one tbh #COYS
- You can’t make this up
- He's so low brow. From the garish gold-color gee-gaws he installed in the Oval Office to the vile & vulgar words he spews maligning others & the lying w/impunity. He's a gross venal, vicious, vindictive, and vile POS.
- MBS thought of everything Feed that animal Will Trump ask about Khashoggi? I highly doubt it
- Oh, he’s asking… asking for tips on getting away with it.
- He's eating trash. Cholesterol and saturated fats are culprits in heart disease and strokes and don't listen to any conservative influencer who tells you that you can eat bacon 3x a day. The lack of fiber and nutrients in his diet are just as bad as the extra cholesterol and trans fat.

- This is just embarrassing.
- Sssssssussaaan is our Liz Truss - there because either no one else wanted the job or the alternatives were considered far worse. The only question is if Sussssan can outlast a lettuce.
- They are starting the news bulletin with the loser Libs, you could be forgiven for not realising a very competent Labor gov was sworn in yesterday...when are you going to get it through your extremely thick skulls @abcnewsbot.bsky.social WE DONT GIVE A RATS ARSE ABOUT THE LNP 🙄 move on, we have
- So now the ABC has moved from obsessing over the Coalition under Dutton to obsessing over it under Ley. You could be forgiven for not realising there’s a Labor govt with a 93 seat presence in the Parliament, full of talented women in positions of influence. #auspol
- Drone superpower: Ukrainian wartime innovation offers lessons for NATO #Ukraine
- Hungary's isolation from the West" if elected.
- Helping the U.S. gets you banned, being white gets you a welcome mat. Got it.
- “So there were no consequences for that bone saw murder? None? Tell me more…”
- Robert Benton, the Oscar-winning writer and director of Kramer vs. Kramer, died at home on Sunday, his family says.
- Poland confirms that Russia ordered the arson that destroyed Warsaw’s largest shopping centre last year. Whether one treats this as an act of terrorism used to intimidate Polish society and influence the government, or an act of aggression - it demands commensurate action!!!
- Sean Duffy changed his wife's flight on Monday to avoid Newark Airport and then made a TV appearance on Tuesday insisting it's safe to fly from there.
- That is why subhumas Russians can and must not win.
- Punishment for “500th” among Russian troops remains brutal. In the 15th MRB, deserters are buried up to their necks in a “tight pit.” In the 9th MRB, they’re locked in metal barrels without food or water for days, often leading to death. If they die, they’re declared missing in action.
- Gazprom CEO Sounds Alarm on Looming Russian Energy Crisis Gazprom Neft CEO Alexander Dyukov has confirmed what energy analysts have long suspected: Russia is running out of cheap oil. The country is being forced to tap into so-called “hard-to-recover” reserves kyivinsider.com/gazprom-ceo-...
- I'd just like to spare a thought for the murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi today. Brian Kilmeade thinks America has "moved past" his horrifying assassination. I haven't. And I doubt I'm alone.
- Trumpers celebrating the S&P breaking even for the year to date
- Trump lifts sanctions on Syria after Syria’s new President pitches a Trump Tower in Damascus.
- Geelong coach Chris Scott is the king of confusion, and how he uses spearhead Jeremy Cameron has been revealed by the spearhead himself. STORY >>> zerohanger.com/GTxwt #AFL
- One lesson from volunteering at a Foodbank is that we are indeed an island of strangers. The division is not ethnicity but wealth. Just like I don't know any wealthy landowners our clients don't know people who own their homes or enjoy a regular decent income.
- The Giants have been everywhere, man, literally. But the first nine rounds have put the AFL's equalisation measures back into the spotlight, with their captain making a point for the mixed form. STORY >>> zerohanger.com/EvxZk #AFL
- They didn’t need this level of excuse to do that. The creation of DOGE should’ve triggered that
- Well, in our kleptocratic neoliberal hellscape, the only thing that produces outrage is when someone gets a bigger bride than you
- Now, if they would form a chronological order of what has been going on for the last 110 days and who it impacts and hold an actual press conference telling the public. That would be nice. I've learned more on bluesky about Trump's shenanigans than in the actual press.
- Because of the $400M plane, but NOT because he's an authoritarian who's already violated the Constitution & federal law numerous times?
- Wow so that’s what it takes. Not making women second class citizens, not disappearing people off the streets. Gifts. Gifts is the thing they take the stand on. Noted.
- www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05.... #NAFO RIP. I respect all non Ukrainians who have gone to fight for the people of Ukraine to remain Independent and free.
- He Thinks He Owns The Country And We Are His Bank! The Election Was Rigged! No Doubts Now!
- 🇫🇷✈️☢️ Macron: France is ready to discuss the deployment of aircraft armed with nuclear bombs in other European countries.
- Lots of strong criticism of Starmer's speech on immigration, & all justified. Let's hope there's sufficient rebellion amongst Labour backbenchers to make the cabinet think again, before any more damage is done. #notinmyname www.thejournal.ie/did-nigel-fa...
