Billie Piper was Sally Lockhart for BBC and it's on free playback ? 😍 I read The Ruby In The Smoke when I was like 12, and it shaped a lot.

good metaphor; the speaker sounds like a #fella. Trump and Abbott only want sham elections, and they don't want to be called out for it. Stay loud.

O'Hare just warned that deputies are prepared to arrest people. So far, he's flipped out twice: 1) a speaker said "bullshit" 2) a speaker compared Tarrant County Republicans to Russia

This whole thread ❤️‍🔥

“It is profitless to speculate on error.” Once again I must stress that my grandmother talked like this all the fucking time, she could have been describing a salad that wasn’t as good as she was hoping it would be

I find his rage extremely relatable. And he ends with the most foundational of premises. 🤘

🇨🇭Happy birthday Switzerland!🇨🇭 Love always.

I'm not ungrateful to my senators, Cruz and Cornyn, for supporting sanctions on russian banks and shadow fleets, which are threats to democracy and threats to coastal regions inhabited and beloved by many.

"Dear Tatyana Bokalschuk" is the new "Dear Vladimir Vladimirovitch" and it's delicious.

Smart and instructive. A concise lesson in how to deal with Moscow. Baltics know.

"With Russia, you either kneel or you are the enemy. There is nothing in between." Former Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė on meeting Putin in 2010—and why Lithuania immediately built an LNG terminal to completely cut off Russian gas.

The defense of Kyiv by the regions of the north and all who assembled there in critical and decisive battles is underappreciated as a people's history. Anyway Ukraine is the military power now and russia is so casually fucked. Also s/o Georgian Legion Kastus... ❤️ u Belarus Mansour & Dudayev Svoboda

A gaslit nation or two should pay closer attention.

That Zelensky takes Loomer seriously enough to meet with her is an even worse indicator. (And before folks weigh in -- no, this meeting was not necessary to "win over MAGA"; it was not ever necessary to "win over Loomer". If that's a priority in a war, ask why -- and follow the money and networks.)

Think you meant “Ive written.” But since you mentioned ICE and Louisiana, new facility for kids may be in possible violation of tax rules, according to a former IRS lawyer. www.thequeenzone.com/a-private-pr...

This is a fascinating case regarding illegal search & seizure commonly used by ICE/DHS. Also regarding attempts to use RICO laws against antifascists. They want to take away any premise of right to privacy. #NAFO #Antifa techcrunch.com/2026/07/24/u...

This is good, Senator McCormick. More of this.

Sen. McCormick: "As you see in chart 2, red areas circled in green is all that Russia's been able to conquer in last 18 months. This is not Russian war machine on the march. It's war machine that's grinding itself to dust. Ukraine done it through courage, ingenuity, innovation."

The knife wielders said they wouldn’t miss. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the knife wielders.

I'd extend my argument to say what we face is not a crisis of facts, but a crisis of consequences. If the public loses faith in the ability for facts to result in consequences, then populist and authoritarian movements that offer consequences operate as a counterfeit for functional democracy.

This isn't just an iconic video. It's the moment Ukraine's future Commander-in-Chief broke through a Russian barricade in Mariupol in 2014 and prevented Russians from taking the city.

well that will all change when we relocate 500K civically engaged and progressive lesbians to both dakotas and wyoming in an effort to gain 6 senate seats

This was super, super good.

James Talarico had one message about Jasmine Crockett. “Keep her name out your mouth… She’s a leader in this state, a leader in this country, and she deserves the utmost respect.” 🔥 That’s what leadership looks like. #SheShed
