Exactly this
"If Clarence Thomas doesn't resign when will impeachment proceedings against him begin?"
https://twitter.com/MaryLTrump/status/1507463484753260547A lot of people in the media are asking "Should Clarence Thomas recuse himself?" (Whether or not the answer to that is "Yes," he won't.) But that's the wrong question. The right one is this: "If Clarence Thomas doesn't resign when will impeachment proceedings against him begin?"
Exactly this

"Don't worry, my sister, don't worry -- God has got you. And how do I know that? Because you're here and I know what it has taken for you to sit in that seat."
Just watch this video. Just watch.

Emphasis mine
The barbarians are at the gate. Nazi be nazi. Under his eye. 👀
South Carolina renovated its death chamber and will now carry out firing squad executions
"The S.C. Department of Corrections informed the state’s Attorney General Alan Wilson Friday that it is now able to execute death row inmates using a three-person firing squad using live ammunition if an inmate chooses that method," The State reported. "The Legislature passed a law in 2021 that makes the electric chair South Carolina’s primary method of execution, but gives inmates the option to choose death by firing squad or lethal injection if available. Lethal injection has been unavailable for years in South Carolina."

You would think that when you are putting together a refugee policy, maybe some perspective taking on how you would want your family to be treated if the shoe was on the other foot would be a good plan. Not with this lot, obvs. They live in a desert of nasty and privilege where of course they cannot recognise what is happening to Ukrainians might happen to them because they can gaslight, buy, lie, and steal their way out of any situation – we are witness to this every day. According to the far right wankers in charge we are apparently leading the free world in co-ordinated international responses to the crisis. Of course we are... You can tell by that utterly damming map.
Can you see my eyes rolling from here…
'Global' Brexit Britain be like...
What they do is so cruel. When did we decide that it was an good idea to vote into power people where the cruelty and inhumanity is the point? I want my country back.
Brexit Britain - Shames us all...

BOOM! Such a shame that the numpty nazi's in downing street cannot bring the same gravitas to bear.
Stop what you are doing and give Barbara Woodward the attention she deserves ...
https://twitter.com/Otto_English/status/1502598050472206344Stop what you are doing and give Barbara Woodward the attention she deserves as she holds Putin's lies and Russian disinformation to account. An outstanding 3 minutes.
"A whole pack of lies."
Dame Barbara Woodward tells the UN there is no credible evidence to support Russia's claims Ukraine has a biological weapons programme, adding Russia has brought "a series of wild, completely baseless and irresponsible conspiracy theories" to the UN.

Powerful image, am I right? Excellent long read at the link.
Emphasis mine
What a horrid horrid little tyrant. Bombs, war crimes, risking WW3 cause he thinks he deserves a legacy (like Stalin's? - you know that legacy of mass murder and horror for power and control...)
Putin's back to future be like ..
Russian Supremacy is so last century, Fuck that.
The conviction of infallibility is a dangerous pathology...

Yet Putin is not Stalin. Stalin was a Marxist; Putin is a 21st-century tyrant, who, while co-opting elements of Romanov and Soviet imperialism, is a populist and nationalist, a practitioner of 21st-century identity politics who deploys both old-fashioned military heavy metal and the new hi-tech weaponry of social media.
Yet Stalin could not be more relevant. Stalin’s influence is imprinted everywhere in the state structure of Russia; he remains omnipresent. Putin’s repression at home increasingly resembles Stalinist tyranny – in its cult of fear, rallying of patriotic displays, crushing of protests, brazen lies and total control of media – although without the mass deportations and mass shootings. So far.
