I'm starting this thread to document as many awful things Trump and his cronies are doing with links - as well as examples of those standing up to hate. I'll keep updating in the comments as an easy reference point for myself and others. Starting with... www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/...

As we approach #FollowBackFriday, we should remember that the aim of the #FBPE movement is closer integration with Europe. So if you are #ProEU, then I want to follow you. It will take time, we must be patient, but we have lost so much. #FBR #NAFO #Resist #AntiFascist

Mark Zuckerberg is removing fact checking from all Meta platforms and adding a Trump loyalist to the board so he is allowed to takeover TikTok. These billionaires don't care about anyone or anything except their profits.

I grew up in a village where the bells rang on the hour, every hour. They rang every Sunday, for weddings, funerals, and practice twice a week. I loved it.

@carlevecrime.bsky.social North Road West cordoned off between Patna Place and Melbourne Street from 6.30 this morning, fire engines, police and ambulance. Now a single address taped off, police guard and forensics van. Any clue what's happening?

We're all okay - just tired!! I don't think I slept more than 3 hours total afterwards. Fully expecting the police to ask for footage. When I reviewed it, I realised that she'd come far closer to actually pushing her way in than I remembered.

11/11 Maybe I'm overthinking things. Maybe I'm being too suspicious. Thoughts on the entire thing? Anyone else had anything like this happen, especially in the UK? It's made me a little nervous, to be honest, and we'll be making sure our doors are fully locked, even when we're in

10/11 The fact that she fled as soon as I called the police, however, is a MASSIVE red flag. Fortunately, the entire exchange was caught on our doorbell camera, with audio, and is available to the police should they require it.

9/11 However, waking people up in the middle of the night, aggressively demanding to search their house isn't helpful at all.

8/11 Firstly, if this poor woman genuinely has a missing daughter, she has all my sympathy, and I completely understand wanting to get to the bottom of where she is. I'd have moved heaven and earth had my son gone missing.

7/11 The operator I was on the phone to confirmed that there was also someone else on a call to the woman who had just left our property, and we gave the details of the taxi she got into.

6/11 Within seconds, 2 taxis pulled up on the pavement outside the house, and the woman ran down the path and jumped into one of them, driving off - at speed - immediately.

5/11 The woman at the door also called the police, shouting at the poor operator, almost unintelligibly, that she knew we were hiding her daughter inside. The hubby came back out, not having called the police at all, so I took the phone from him, and called 999.

4/11 My sleepy brain didn't quite put everything together as dodgy. Well, not immediately, anyway. I asked my husband to call the police, and he went back inside.

3/11 When asked for reasonable proof for her belief that her daughter was inside our house, she showed me a screenshot of our address from what looked like Google Maps, no proof that the address had been shown on a tracking app.

2/11 Her "daughter" had been "missing" since 5pm, and she had only just decided to track her phone. Despite my insistence that there was nobody in the house other than me, my hubby, and our spawn, she kept insisting that her daughter was inside, and demanding to come in.

Kay Scoble @kayscoble.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

1/11 A thread. Well, that was an "interesting" night. 1.15am, someone rings our doorbell, and won't quit. I answer the door, half asleel, and a woman demands entry to "search for her missing daughter", after "tracking her phone" to our property.

Morning. Insufficient coffee so far. Considering I have to head into town, this may not end well.

Gisele Pelicot should named as the Time person of the year. For bravely waiving her anonymity in one of the most horrific rape cases the world has seen, to take a stand for survivors and shame the perpetrators. Instead they’re featuring Trump, a rapist, for the second time. Obviously.

We need to remove profit creation from the delivery of public healthcare, because the goal of a private company is to deliver profit to its shareholders. This leads to very bad things for patients.

No, Nigel Farage. We emphatically do not talk about this at home. You will not import your authoritarian christofascist Trump-style threats into our political debate. Can’t tell you quite how far you’ll be told to fuck off if you try.

Nigel Farage suggests MOs should debate rolling back abortion limit.

Reform UK leader says it would be ‘worthy’ discussion and parliament should get more time ‘to debate things people talk about at home’.

Given that the drawer I found this packet in is only about 9 years old, I have no idea how this went largely forgotten for 25 years.
