Does he think that guy called him a “Penguin Protector”?

Sovereignty, innit.

"Her condition is critically deteriorating day by day. Doctors are struggling to save her due to a severe lack of medical equipment and resources, and they warn of imminent danger as the tumor continues to expand at an alarming rate."

Hundreds of photos revealing the faces of those killed during the violent crackdown on protests in Iran have been leaked to BBC Verify. The pictures reveal the bloodied, swollen and bruised faces of at least 326 victims - including 18 women. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Remember when the US polity ruptured and erupted when Biden got names wrong on set-piece occasions? That was nothing compared with Trump’s Davos speech.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

PM adds that Trump’s u-turn on Chagos deal was intended to put pressure on Starmer and UK over Greenland. “He wants me to yield on my position, and I'm not going to do so, given that that was his express purpose.” #PMQs

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Over-Botoxed moron.

" #Israel has begun bulldozing the headquarters of #UNRWA in occupied East #Jerusalem. The far-right government led by Netanyahu has been clamping down heavily on humanitarian groups that provide desperately needed aid to Palestinians in Gaza:" bsky.app/profile/then... #News #Palestine #WorldNews

I’m old enough to remember when many of the voices saying very little tonight told us very loudly that Obama and Biden were anti-British.

Very strong evidence of coordinated action between countries affected by Trump's Greenland threats. There's a lot of officials who lost their weekend doing a great job. Let's see what this week brings - a Supreme Court judgement would add to the picture. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

As I migrate more of my time over to here, I’m going to try an be more chilled and less sarcastic and cynical…eh, I said I’d try 😏 So as a change I’m going to share some of my photography as I go. Enjoy!

The always excellent @niallstanage.bsky.social displaying the sort of professionalism and restraint his pathetic counterpart only wishes she had.

How pathetic.

“They say, ‘Pedophile Protector’, in America.” #Trump #EpsteinFiles

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”" "“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

These tents are the only shelter for displaced people in #Gaza. Forced from their homes. Exposed to the cold, wind, rain & flooding. Many survived bombs and hunger. Now, winter threatens their lives. The humanitarian situation is getting worse. Urgent, safe access for aid is needed. Let aid in.

Not long now until Trump cosplays as an ICE stormtrooper and proves he can shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it.

The grim inevitability of Elon Musk & the bogus ‘free speech’ crusaders defending the ‘rights’ of child abusers & weapons grade misogyny… tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

It’s odd to see the always vocal, “protect our women and children” crowd, support a guy who’s defending an application that allows people to create illegal content, including content containing child sex abuse. Wait, is ‘odd’ the right word?

Correction, no one else should. Let the Mango Mussolini at it.

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is facing mounting scrutiny, including in the European Union, Britain, India and France, for being misused to generate sexually explicit and non-consensual images.

Paris to vote ‘No’ on Mercosur, risking major diplomatic setback

🗣️ “6,700 images were being generated in this way every single hour.” The Group Chat examines the scale of the Grok deepfake crisis, the numbers behind it, and what the Irish Government can do. 📺 Tonight at 10PM | Virgin Media Play & Virgin Media One

This is why I think Vance is worse than Trump. He’s all in and fully committed to the far-right, the racism, the hate, and the authoritarianism. Trump is too, but to promote himself. Vance is a genuine believer.

Ireland will vote against the Mercosur trade deal, Taoiseach and Tánaiste confirm

Yes and no. If you're high at DHS you've probably done real police work. Any kind of real police knows the first thing you do in a situation like this is cut him loose. It's rare, but it does happen. That's for the sake of the others. But if the man in the chair backs him, well ...

Kristi Noem, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security narrates a different story to the footage of the murder of the innocent American woman in Minneapolis

Just a reminder: what is taking place in Minneapolis is precisely the kind of confrontation Trump covets, days after he postulated canceling America's midterm elections.

I’ll provide an update on today’s shooting shortly: www.youtube.com/live/-VhtJ2w...

Trump won’t care that ICE shot a woman dead today. He’ll be hoping for mass protest so he can send in more agents/ national guard into multiple cities. Depending on the reaction, this could be the first event that leads toward the cancelling of the midterms.

DHS investigated the shooting for about 5 minutes and concluded the person they killed was in the wrong. Real credible stuff.

How is it possible to have so many dumb shits in one party/ government?

"You gonna murder someone else? You can't kill us all, Nazis."

They’ve moved to the street executions stage of their SS street thug “law enforcement” regime.

Should it come to pass that America invaded/ stole/ annexed a European nations land, European states should boycott the World Cup. Unlikely I know, but it would really screw-up a tournament being held on US soil. Mexico and Canada could do likewise.

F*ck Baldomort.

The Russians would be proud.

Trump: You know I wrote about Bin Laden one year before the World Trade Center. If they would’ve listened to me, they wouldn’t have the World Trade Center tragedy. I predicted Bin Laden. Did you know that? Graham: I learn something everyday.

It's almost compelling in a way just how committed the Conservatives are to their 'we handed over a great legacy! The country just collapsed completely in summer 2024', something which visibly is not working for them and never will work for them:

Alright, let's have a contest: What insanely ignorant thing about immigrants will Stephen Miller say TOMORROW?

Yesterday, I did a post noting that we don't know WHY Trump decided to move the mostly innocent Venezuelans out of CECOT, and so don't know why Stephen Miller lost that fight. www.emptywheel.net/2025/12/27/w...

This can’t be real? 😂

So: Trump has finally filed a law suit against the BBC. New reports say he filed the suit in Florida yesterday. Am going to have a look at this and will post more later.

Priceless

Fraser Nelson is the latest Farage apologist to dismiss the racism allegations against him, saying that there's never been any evidence of him ever being racist as an adult. Just completely untrue. There is extensive undeniable evidence of it www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...
