Contains at least one excellent joke. (Even though I say so myself.)

Amen.

To repeat: diesel prices and the mid-terms are the excuse, not the reason, for the Trump administration lifting sanctions on Russia. No-one should take the excuse at face value. bsky.app/profile/meid...
Tl;dr: the Trump administration lifting sanctions against Russia in the week that Russia escalates its campaign of war crimes against Ukrainian civilians is disgusting but it shouldn't be remotely surprising. It's what Trump and his circle have always wanted to do.
I don't see anything erratic here. For over a decade, Trump has prioritised "getting along with Russia"; since 20 January 2025, Trump administration policy has reflected that priority. It's perhaps the most consistent aspect of Trump foreign policy. 🧵on Trump and sanctions.
Exactly.
If you’re thinking that *this time* they will have to admit Trump’s depravity & their hideous folly in supporting him. Then I’m afraid you’re in for another nasty surprise…
Don’t be sorry, mate. We’ve all had moments of despair. I’m glad I saw your message. There’s almost certainly a group in your area where blokes can walk & talk together. Andysmanclub.co.uk for example. They’re fantastic.
I’m very sorry to read this & I don’t want patronise you but there’s always a reason to keep going. Please find some time to be kind to yourself, maybe do some breathing exercises, go back to something that makes you laugh. And I bet people would care if you told them how you’re feeling. Stay safe x
Haaretz's detailed story on the Israeli gulags, in which nearly 10,000 Palestinians are held, vast majority of them have not been charged or convicted.
These are crimes against humanity.

As @mrjamesob.bsky.social was saying… Hegseth is literally doing ISIS things in our name…
Another resounding victory for Kemi Badenoch. They’ll have to extend the tapestry now…
I cannot stand by and see Muslims treated this way when I have a privileged platform. And it’s telling who offers support, who justifies being a part of the hate and who allows their careers to benefit from it. This isn’t just a test for Muslims. It’s a test for all our humanity.
There is without question a global campaign to demonise and weaken Muslims. It’s horrific. But it’s having an opposite effect. It’s bringing Muslims together. I have never felt more connected and obligated to my faith or my Muslim community.
Wall-to-wall praise for the policy in today’s papers but they either don’t understand it or don’t care. We’ve been here before, of course. Bexit, Boris Johnson, Truss… all bigged up by the media despite, all obviously awful.
Rachel is absolutely brilliant. But don’t take my word for it, buy a ticket & find out for yourself!
😂 sacking too good for him make him suffer. Keep him.
