Senator Lindsey Graham has no kids or grandkids of his own, yet he is always eager to send other people’s children to fight endless wars. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t seem to care about the consequences for future generations.
if we had an opposition party they'd oppose things

This is absolutely brilliant. Peter Oborne's analysis is totally on point.

Someone needs to lock Trump up, he is a liability to the world!
How stupid he said.
Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.

Meta has deliberately cut civil rights and civil liberties out of its calculus. As an internal Meta memo reasoned, “Many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.” The company presumably sees a business opportunity in the ongoing assault on American democracy. That’s where Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, is wrong: We are paying attention, and we understand clearly that this technology is part of that very same assault on our rights. We are always ready to fight, and we will continue to defend everyone’s rights — from both the government and Big Tech.
It was recently leaked that Meta plans to quietly roll out smart glasses equipped with facial recognition while civil liberties groups like ours are busy dealing with the Trump administration.
They're wrong. We can walk and demand Meta halt production on these creepy glasses at the same time.
These are some of the hundreds of Vietnamese villagers, almost all women, children & old people, brutally murdered by US troops at My Lai in 1968, moments before being killed.
Bullet, bayonet or Tomahawk cruise missile. Murder is murder, & the US is lying now as it lied then.

Why isn’t Elizabeth Warren the Senate Minority Leader?
I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.

SAY IT WITH US. DEFEND JURY TRIALS Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
Labour's attempt to remove our right to a jury trial in thousands of cases - including protest related offences - is a serious attack on our civil liberties.
That's why the Green MPs have tabled an amendment to reject it.
The Green Party says no to Labour's toolkit for tyrants.
It worked with Brexit, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, austerity & most of Donald Trump but the right’s attempts to hoodwink the public into wanting war with Iran are failing miserably… open.spotify.com/episode/3XdO...
Image is a screenshot of a reasoned amendment to the Courts and Tribunals Bill. It is signed by Siân Berry, Hannah Spencer, Carla Denyer, Dr Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay. It reads: That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Courts and Tribunals Bill because it is an inadequate and dangerous response to the challenges faced by the courts; it does not provide the correct solutions to the chronic backlog of cases in the Crown Court; it would not address the long-term underfunding that has led to the degradation of court systems, infrastructure and buildings; it would limit the crucial civil liberty and constitutional protection of trial by a jury of one’s own peers by removing defendants’ right to elect the Crown Court for all triable either-way offences; this change would cover a range of protest-related offences, and because protest rights and free speech, which act as safeguards against authoritarianism, have already been eroded by this Government and should not be limited further; jury trials build public trust and confidence in the courts and act as a space of shared civic responsibility that builds social cohesion; more effective interventions could be implemented that do not roll back fundamental rights, including expanding the use of ‘blitz courts’, increasing the number of sitting days, removing from the system cases that are no longer in the public interest to prosecute, increasing investment in legal aid, improving court case management technology, and bringing in more efficient processes to ensure defendants are brought to court and to the dock on time; and removing rights to judgment by one’s own peers may have the unintended consequence of increasing court backlogs through a rise in appeals.
🚨We have tabled an amendment to reject the Government’s sinister attempt to remove jury trials including for many protest related offences.
Our civil liberties have already been eroded by this Govt and should not be limited any further.
Greens are standing up against Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

Bombs falling on Iran will not bring democracy. They will only endanger the brave Iranians who have already risked their lives protesting for freedom.
We must not repeat the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan by blindly following Donald Trump’s America into another dangerous war.

The green transition isn’t a cost – it’s the cure for fuel poverty, price shocks and foreign dependence. Join the Greens to fight for community energy that keeps profits here: greenpartyni.org/join.
The Climate Change Act is the legal framework to deliver this. Green Party NI will defend it fully and push for community-owned renewables - profits here, not in corporate boardrooms.

A political quote graphic from Green Party NI. The background photograph shows solar panels in the foreground and a tall wind turbine rising against a partly cloudy blue sky, set in a green field. The image conveys clean, modern renewable energy infrastructure. Large white quotation marks appear in the upper left corner. A thin white rectangular border frames the image. In large bold white text: “Renewable energy is the cheapest in history. Heat pumps, solar, and retrofits create thousands of local jobs that can’t be outsourced, lower bills permanently, and end our exposure to foreign price shocks.” Below the quote, in bold white: “Cllr Áine Groogan” and beneath that in regular white text: “Botanic, Belfast.” At the bottom centre, the Green Party Northern Ireland logo — a green leaf beside “greenparty” in white, with “NORTHERN IRELAND” beneath in smaller text.
We are two rainy, windswept islands. Wind and rain are not problems here - they are resources.
Energy independence is not a distant aspiration. It is sitting above our heads every single day, going to waste.

A populist has realised that the UK thinks it should stay out of Iran, and his views are not popular. He will probably deny he ever said it.
