A message to all sane Republicans: He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing. He bulldozed the East Wing. You said nothing. He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing. He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing. He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing. He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing. He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing. He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing. His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing. He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing. His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing. He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing. He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing. It’s time to start talking.

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'. Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.

I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division. We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views. They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.

This is a brilliant investigative piece on Farage, the dark millions behind him and the double standards of so much British journalism. Read and retweet! Nigel Farage pocketing £5m from a donor shows he’s unfit for power app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/s…

Nigel Farage secretly trousered £5 million in cash, and he didn’t want you to know. Since the media have barely covered it, let's make it go viral 👇

Excuse me. But banned why? Are we seriously saying Farage UK should have its own 24/7 news and propaganda channel with barely a peep from @Ofcom but if another party uses what Farage and Co have said in an election broadcast they can’t show it. Madness. Anyway do watch it. It is very powerful

Reform UK quotes in the banned Labour political broadcast. It was banned by Ofcom, so please share far and wide!!! 👇👇👇

I’m not a Catholic, but wouldn’t it be great if we could get #Ilovethepope trending as he’s plainly a good, decent, principled human being, and, on Musk’s platform, this will annoy a lot of powerful, evil people. Do please repost.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

RETWEET if you stand with Pope Leo against Donald Trump!

BREAKING: Pope Leo brings the HAMMER down on Pete Hegseth and Trump by declaring that "God does not bless any conflict" and condemning the "blasphemy of war" in his harshest remarks yet. This has MAGA world howling with rage... "Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest," Leo wrote on X. "But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood." While there is a tenuous ceasefire in place for the Iran War (the terms of which seem to be constantly shifting) there are still bombs, drones, and missiles exploding in the Middle East thanks to Trump's decision to kick off this conflict. Israel is currently engaged in a brutal, mass-murdering war of expansion in Lebanon. And there is a distinct possibility that Trump is simply using this ceasefire to rearm and maneuver military assets before resuming hostilities. The pope plans to hold a vigil for peace tomorrow, calling on Catholics around the world to come together to pray for an end to the violence. Meanwhile, Republicans on social media are smearing him as a demonic communist for daring to challenge their cult leader's bloodthirsty instincts. "God does not bless any conflict," Leo wrote on X. "Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples." The post was a clear and direct refutation of Hegseth's repeated attempts to characterize this illegal child-murdering war as sanctioned by Jesus Christ. He has called for giving "no quarter" to the "barbaric savages" of Iran and demanded that the American people pray for victory "in the name of Jesus Christ." As anyone who has taken even a cursory glance at a bible knows, Jesus blessed the peacemakers and never endorsed war. Hegseth's brand of "Christianity" is a perversion of the teachings of Christ that's being used to justify the darkest, most evil acts imaginable. Pope Leo is firmly on the right side of history. Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Pope Leo!

The thing I’ve learnt recently, through all the hate I’m getting on this timeline. The British love Americans, we just don’t like your present cult leadership. Sadly Americans now HATE all British people because their government tells them too. That’s the difference.

Hey @BBCNews - you seem not to have noticed the 500,000 people marching through London against the far-right, so I’m just making you aware, cheers then.

Farage hates this video of him revealing his plans to sell off the NHS. It would be a shame if it went viral again... 🫢

I’m pretty cross too. Cross at the threats to invade, the insults to our armed forces, the bullying of smaller Nations …. They are not behaviours that create alliances… you have done more to damage the alliance with the Western World than I could ever have imagined… and I am sad and angry for it.

Good to be reminded that green energy is the way forward and why. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
