Marie Le Pen IS barred from standing for public office

good

Va te faire foutre !

#TransDayofVisibility falls on Monday, 31 March, and the #LGBTQ+ community takes this day to celebrate and honour #trans and non-binary communities around the world.

It is a day of joy, and it is a day of celebration. Each one of us knows at least one trans person who has done something remarkable.

I'll start.

Wendy Carlos, a pioneering electronic music composer, was also a transgender woman and a Grammy winner, known for her groundbreaking work with the Moog synthesizer

PASS IT ON xx

It shouldn't be understated, but Steve #Witkoff was a participant in '#SignalGate'

He was in Moscow at the time
He was not even using a secure phone

It gets worse. ...

The #Trump administration made a racist change to its rules for businesses that get federal contracts..

“the federal government no longer explicitly prohibits contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms and drinking fountains"

Oh America, what the fuck have you done.

#Corbyn asks " Can she say with her hand on her heart that no #disabled person will be worse off after this statement, or will that £5bill be taken from those who live the most difficult lives already in our society?"

She replies, " The predecation of the change is to stop people being written off, denied hope, denied a future, & it's about making the social security system sustainable for the future and when we have a 1,000 new people every day claming pip we have to look at this challenge

The politicians in the HofC continuously describe PIP as a benefit to help with unemployment

#Pip is not an in work benefit. Whether you are employed or not is irrelevant

Sian Berry #Green MP asks Liz Kendall, "Why is impoverishing disabled people a higher priority than wealth tax?"

How can the strategy of the #Labour Party, which raised NI for employers and therefore have made it more expensive to employ people, be reconciled with their crusade of "the moral duty of getting people back to work"

We want people to work, but we are going to make it harder for employers to create vacancies

It doesn't make sense

These #Musk protest ads going up around London were already good but the Maga fan fury they prompted took them to a whole new level - The Poke

A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the #COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.

You can't make this shit up

Wes Streeting perpetually says the #NHS is broken to ensure people increasingly believe that it should be privatised.

We see you, Wes

Shocking incident today of 27 people drowning in The Channel whilst rescue boats and helicopters were told to "stand down"

How can that have been allowed to happen?

@alexadeswift @Elodie_lyra

That is true, but we can offer sympathy and affection xx

I hope you are happy

@alexadeswift @redflag Trump belittled him at the entrance saying,'I see you've dressed up today"

I have edited my original post. I am no expert in gentleman's costumes 😀

"So then you called him an arsehole. How wonderful"

France, Germany and the UK – committed in the latter half of February to substantial defense spending increases and reiterated that their countries would support Ukraine even if the US stopped Combined with previous hard commitments of support from wealthy European states in Scandinavia, Benelux and in Eastern Europe, US support to Ukraine is prima facia not irreplaceable.

"who has all the cards?"

The key factor in #Russia’s failure to defeat #Ukraine quickly in late February and March 2022 was a widespread will to resist and to defend home and family on the part of millions of Ukrainians, and a national leadership headed by Zelensky.

We all saw that tank battalion column being obliterated on the outskirts of Kyiv.

Just gonna leave this here ...

King Charles is set to talk to #Zelenskyy at Sandringham tomorrow. I am not sure what to make of this, and I suspect #Trump isn't either

How can #Zelenskyy be "gambling with World War Three" since it gave away all of its nuclear weapons? One could argue that only Russia and America could only ever be the gamblers.
