Arrived back in the UK, and my husband got blatantly racially profiled at Customs as the only non-white person on our flight. I argued with them and challenged them to explain why they'd picked him. They got angry, wouldn't say, but checked his passport and let us both go. That's white privilege.

Does anyone know who actually wrote the 28 point plan? Trump or Russia?

It's 100% certain that Farage was also approached by Russian agents. There's no official case against him, but it's highly unlikely Russian spies would only try to bribe a single UKIP MEP. They would've sounded them all out, for sure. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Senator Murphy says there is no sugarcoating, no spin just honesty and resolve. He fears that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. He’s angry too but anger isn’t enough. We’ve got to keep fighting for democracy! 💪🇺🇸 #KeepFighting #ChrisMurphy #USDemocracy #Pinks

Why does Trump think he has any right to dictate to Britain's which news programme they should watch? He thinks he's won a battle with the BBC, and now instructs us to watch GB News. Back in your cave and think again you senile old man.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

TRUMP'S massive ego, and his delusions of grandeur, are destroying the people's Whitehouse. A vulgar ballroom replacing the historic West Wing is nothing more than a destructive vanity project.

We moved from 🇫🇷 to 🇬🇧 in 2008. My 2nd child was born in 🇬🇧. In 2018 I said to my husband we should get citizenship to make sure we cannot be kicked out. He told me I was paranoid. The 4 of us got naturalised in 2019 (for £7k btw). 2 days ago he told me “you were right”. Never been so sad to be right.

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home. I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Trump says he’s sending troops to San Francisco because “it went wrong, it went woke”. That’s why he’s sending troops to SF? Trump is psychotic, delusional. Who sends troops to a city because it went woke? Thanks to Benioff for telling trump to send them. He changed course but the damage was done.

I’ve listened to this clip and read the transcript several times, along with MAGA’s interpretation. Kimmel wasn’t saying the shooter was MAGA. What he was pointing out is that MAGA’s first instinct was to immediately cast blame and point fingers at everyone else. That’s not an attack, it’s facts.

Who are the "evildoers" who killed her husband? Who is the "they?" A 22yr old white male from Utah shot & killed her husband. We don't yet know why. Anyone out there using "they," as in "they" did this, "they" killed Charlie, is inciting division & hate at a time when we need unity & calm. 🤦‍♀️

“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade. Look at what he does, ffs. Look at his tax affairs. Look at his grifting. Look at his lies. Look at his prejudice. Look at his allies. Look at his manifesto. Look at his Brexit. He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.

As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives. Children shouldn’t fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldn’t risk their lives. Parents shouldn’t wonder if their kids will come home. We are the only country with more guns than people—and this is the devastating result.
