So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

There's nothing Christian about Reform's nonsense heritage proposals. Jesus preached that hoarding wealth is sinful. He stated that we must welcome the stranger and love our neighbour, no matter where they come from. Reform loathe these real Christian values.

Why are Scottish schools still using Twitter when the site was used to create deepfake sexual images of children? Why is the Scottish government permitting this? Why are councils permitting this? Why are teachers permitting this? If you care about the safety of children get off that site right now.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK household electricity bills have risen over the last 5 years. BUT: Despite frequent claims that net zero is to blame: 2/3 of the increase is because of high gas prices shows new @ukerc.bsky.social report. Arguably without renewable energy the UK would see even higher bills today.

ICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us? That it's the force of paramilitary thugs all fascist movements & governments use. It is Trump’s SS.

There’s always a tweet.

The tweet claims that President Obama might launch military strikes in Libya or Iran due to falling poll numbers and describes him as desperate.

Trump says US will 'run' Venezuela until 'safe transition can take place'. He will install a puppet regime. US Oil companies moving in to boost profits. Free/fair elections are not possible under the US jackboots. People can have any govt as long as it serves Trump. Shameful chapter in US history
