I am the turbulent priest they warned you about.
Everything Trump touches does. Or at least is subjected to a humiliating vote of no confidence. #FIFA
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 4d agoUEFA has given FIFA President Gianni Infantino an ultimatum: resign or face a no-confidence vote, The Telegraph reports . It says all 55 members would back it. Only 43 votes are needed.
Fair winds and following seas as you embark on your new adventure. Clue: This @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social champion was elected Bishop of Lexington. Answer: Who is @davidsibley.org?
The White House plan to attract manufacturing businesses with a volatile regulatory environment, new arbitrary taxes (subject to change on a whim), and sending secret police to harass foreign workers has not led to more factory construction in the US. Why didn’t that work? I was told it would work.
Clue: The first Jeopardy champion to become a bishop. Answer: Who is David Sibley?
Any campaign that tries to pander to people who would never vote for their candidate in a million years is a campaign that deserves to lose. This is a stupid strategy from a stupid campaign on behalf of a stupid candidate. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
Dem. Ohio Gov Candidate Amy Acton Scheduled a Meeting With LGBTQ+ Advocates, Didn't Show Up, And Kicked Out Trans People Who Did
The meeting was supposed to be Acton's way of making up for calling trans girls "boys."

It was supposed to be a major demonstration against trans rights and in support of a transphobic athlete. With only a few dozen in attendance, it was pretty much a flop. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
Seattle Storm’s Stefanie Dolson Stands Up for Trans Rights as Sophie Cunningham Rally Flops
On Tuesday night, the Seattle Storm posted photos to Instagram showing Dolson wearing a “Trans Rights Are Human Rights” T-shirt.

My Trans Pride interview included a reference to Cass that UK reports left out, but interestingly the Murdoch owned NT News Australia did broadcast these words. ‘If you continue adhering to the Cass report, which has been widely discredited, you are complicit in the deaths of these young people’.

What people are beginning to realise, if they did not know already, is that Rowling is financing the whole UK "gender critical" network. It is a project she is willing to invest millions in. If there were any real journalism in this country, it would be investigated and exposed.
This Labour government will go down in history as the first to roll back human rights. Without a single substantive debate in parliament, or a single line of legislation being amended or passed. Quite the achievement. And that is very much not a compliment. Go to hell, Bridget.

There's no trade war. There is merely a rogue state that has destroyed every relationship they used to have in the world. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...
‘Without us there’s no way they can survive,’ Trump says of Canada as trade war intensifies. Live updates here.
After announcing new tariffs Prime Minister Mark Carney says are "in violation" of CUSMA, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters of Canada, "Without us there’s no way they can survive.”

You know it’s the Gateway to the North when the back of the gas station looks like this. #Coop #PrinceAlbert
So #UKPoli is reduced to * a far right party (Reform); * a party claiming to be even farther right (Conservative); * a party positioning itself as far right lite (Labour); * the Liberal Democrats; * the Greens; * the nationalist parties (SNP & Plaid).
@jennykwan.bsky.social The proper way to create a thread on Bluesky is to make your second post a reply to your first, your third a reply to your second, &c. Excellent series of unthreaded posts regarding Carney’s failure to defend the ICC, but very few will read it because you didn’t thread it.
Even if Spain holds on to their lead and wins, the Argentine keeper still deserves to be player of the game. #WorldCup2026
It’s interesting how groupthink works in mainstream media. Once a narrative is agreed, it is imposed on any story, no matter how misleading or (as in this case) deliberately dishonest. They will brook no criticism of discredited #CassReview, so mainstream media *lied* about the @bma.org.uk report.
Exclusive: Reporting about British Medical Association critique of Cass Review was 'factually wrong'
The mainstream media's reporting of vital information about trans healthcare was wrong. Again.

Transphohic orgs threatening a human rights org with legal action is a new level of brazen. It's kind of disorienting that it's probably going to work.
“The Church in Wales will not use equality law exemptions to exclude trans people from our worship, our sacraments, our pastoral care, or our common life.” The #EHRCDraftCodeOfPractice is an assault on human dignity. Well Done, @churchinwales.bsky.social. So, @scottishepiscopal.bsky.social?

If/when the EHRC code comes into force on Aug 5th, we’ll know @andyburnham.bsky.social has chosen to be an apartheid Prime Minister. He doesn’t have to accept that. He can stop this atrocity, or choose to be a Prime Minister who’ll deserve everything we can throw at him. It’s entirely up to him.
Let’s be clear, Donald Trump is not a president. He is a criminal who has seized control of the machinery of government. He is the enemy of the United States. His enablers are the enemies of the United States. To serve him is treason.

Apparently there is evidence Russia, China, and perhaps other states have the capability to interfere in US elections, though not on a scale that would affect the outcome. The question is, why would they bother when Trump and the GOP are doing all in their power to corrupt the process themselves?
After careful consideration of tonight's speech by Trump it is abundantly clear our President is a whiny little bitch. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
So it turns out my step-great-grandfather (that is, my mother’s stepfather’s father) likely knew my wife’s gido (grandfather). Strange what you find when going through old photos and newspaper clippings. Granddad Partridge worked for Gido Blocka’s friend Seager Wheeler for many years.
