I'd def stay near airport on night before you leave because the S-bahn can be unreliable and it's quite a ride from the city center.

“If we are to bring back hope, we must be honest about the disastrous costs of our decision to leave the EU. And we must be honest about the fact that reversing it is the best chance we have to get Britain back on track” Sadiq Khan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Burnham is right that ‘hope comes from honesty’. That’s why Labour must make the case for rejoining the EU | Sadiq Khan
Brexit was a disastrous act of national self-harm. Britain needs EU membership to bring growth and security in an increasingly volatile world, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Swiss voters overwhelmingly reject far-right plan to toughen neutrality
Final results from the Swiss government showed over 70% of voters, and a majority in all 26 of the country's regions, rejected the plan championed by a right-wing populist party.

It's painful to watch Hillary Clinton for the last 40 minutes or so and realize, again, how deeply Americans have their heads embedded in their own asses that they actually elected Donald Trump over her.

Just a thought, but couldn’t the water used be recycled and put back into the system or is there nothing left to recycle after being used by these cooling systems?

As I predicted when Ukraine began striking Russian refineries, Trump is going to blame Ukraine for gas prices & begin to pressure them to stop doing it. Once again, the US will side with Putin against a country fighting for its survival. We’re morally bankrupt under Trump. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

One more time: He knowingly had a Nazi tattoo on his chest for 18yrs. When he was caught, he lied about it. That right there Democrats should’ve been the fucking end of it. You never would’ve supported a candidate with a KKK tattoo. You never should’ve supported a candidate with a Nazi tattoo.

An impressive win for Burnham. He’ll soon replace Starmer. He must 1. Deliver, 2. Communicate a simple narrative of change & 3. Prevent big unforced errors. If he doesn’t, his premiership will be tanked by the same online/tabloid campaign of demonisation and disinformation that destroyed Starmer.

The Brexit experiment failed – now the EU needs Britain back
The EU that Britain left no longer exists. Now, much of Europe wants Britain to help bolster the bloc against the US and China. It’s time for the UK to abandon its failed experiment and to re-engage

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads:
"Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General.
On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation.
If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office."
At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

So before Trump’s war, Iran did NOT control the Strait of Hormuz. And now because of Trump’s war, Iran DOES control the Strait. And will continue to. What a fucking disaster this illegal war has been. What a fucking idiot Trump is.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
