‼️“According to HRANA’s confirmed and verified data, at least 2,403 protesters have been confirmed killed, including 12 children. The verified figures also confirm 18,434 arrests, 1,134 cases of severe injury, and 97 instances of forced confessions being broadcast.” #IranProtests

We've analysed new videos published by @vahid.online that show rows of body bags at the Kahrizak mortuary in Tehran on 10 January. We've counted at least 186 bodies in one clip and at least 178 bodies in another, although the true figure is likely much higher. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Europe must now tell Trump that enough is enough, and cut all ties with the US. We should search for better allies than a fascist and corrupt country like the US that is led by a modern Hitler and his brownshirts who attack any country that criticises them or from which they can steal.

Does everyone know about @sill.social, the news aggregator that shows you the top links your Bluesky friends are sharing? (It's like Nuzzel, which Twitter acquired, turned into its Top Articles feature, then buried.)

Block instantly.

ICE joining Bluesky is 100% trolling.

Within the past few days — not even a full week — Trump’s DOJ has: - Subpoenaed the Fed chair - Subpoenaed a sitting Democratic governor and mayor - Sought investigatory interviews with at least five members of Congress - Argued protesters do not have 1st Amendment protections to observe police

Seems sleep is not for me. My cat has decided it’s time to lie on me and stare wildly at unseen things.

Nothing changes on ground for Palestinians needing ‘food, shelter, safety', who see Trump's plan as ‘distant, abstract' https://aje.news/7v7zfc

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce. As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies. This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

If you r going to block ICE on here, consider your vulnerabilities? Mute is powerful and perhaps better for some. Mad world continuing 🥴

At this point I've seen enough to be reasonably convinced they will fail, both at home or abroad. But the fact that they are so openly trying, that there is no way to stop them from trying and that they will do so much damage - some of it irreparable - even in failing is still very distressing.

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

Did scientists just cure epilepsy? 🧠⚡ A new "Zombie Cell" therapy stopped the disease in 33% of mice... BUT the real shocker? It completely RESTORED their ability to learn and remember. 🤯 Technically a "Hit & Run" brain reset. Read more about it @ SeriouslyScientific: 👇👇👇 #Epilepsy #Neuroscience

what the hell is this revisionist nonsense? This *did not happen*—except in the minds of the far-right. You're buying their bad faith bullshit. MAGA called for and now is building a white ethnostate b/c *they are white nationalists*. That's what they do. FFS

Indonesia once cast Flores as a showcase “geothermal island.” A decade on, uneven energy access and mounting development pressures have turned the plan into a flashpoint over how the country’s energy transition should really work.

I dunno, but it seems like the entire country standing in hours-long lines for toilet paper like we were a sad beaten down bunch of gray lumpen Soviet proles during Trump's first Administration might have been a big fucking clue not to let him into office again.

Ontario’s Premier is freaking out about this. He’s #TeamOntario not #TeamCanada. He almost tanked US/Canada tariff talks with his Reagan tariff ads. He as also a big backer of Donald Trump during the election. Check out this video, "doug ford trump comments election" share.google/ThNj0c4T74Pf...

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

They have no vision, no direction. No surprise with someone like Sam Altman at the helm.

This is a transparent attempt to create a pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act. One provision applies when a group of people "opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws." And when it's (allegedly) the state itself...

Just hours after Renee Good was shot, one member of Customs and Border Patrol’s elite tactical team on an adjacent street fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes, with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...
