I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Wish people wouldn't rt that two-faced grifter Owen Jones.

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

Apparently this was the draft version "sent out in error" That shouldn't have been in the draft in the first place.

The most salient of points

Worth a read. 👇👇

Terrible. Next game please.

You might ask why Labour seems fixated on giving Palantir contracts for police and health in the UK?

Teacups need throwing.

Bit of a tingle about today's game. I can see us giving them a right spanking today.

Remember when MET police violently shoved Ian Tomlinson in the back as he walked from work and he died? Remember when Jean Charles de Menezes was shot by cops who then lied and said photos of police running and jumping turnstiles were actually of him. Remember Northern Ireland?

🎂 John Cooper-Clarke Born #OTD 25th January 1949 7️⃣7️⃣ today The 'punk poet' whose words and precise delivery are wonderfully unique. I've seen JCC several times, mainly supporting the Banshees and The Fall. Every time a delight to see and hear ❤️ 📷 me - at Milton Keynes, 2005

Ethan Nwaneri goal Marseille [2]-0 Lens

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like: 1) They were beating a struggling man with batons 2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back 3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away 4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Trump one week ago: "It's a good thing for him [Carney] to sign a trade deal. If he can get a deal with China, he should do that." Trump today: "If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A."

We have citizen patrols checking empty cars like this for children and animals that were left behind in the negative temps because that’s where we are at as a society.

This is so fucking haunting.

Nick Gratwick, a paedophile who had worked as a police informer spying on environmental and animal rights activists, has been jailed for life @robevansgdn.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This extraordinary photo captures federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant into his face. It runs on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @startribune.com. It reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s.

Musk’s participation in the bikini trend opened the floodgates. Grok went from making 300k images a week to 4.4 million. Read more from me, @dylanfreedman.nytimes.com and @stuartathompson.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

We set out to determine how many images of women and girls Grok created during its nudifying spree. What we found was “industrial-scale abuse,” experts said. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

The last time Denmark sold any islands to USA was in 1917. One of those, Little St James, was bought by Trump's pal. Of course it is better known now as Epstein Island. I think this fact should be brought out every time Trump mentions Greenland. metro.co.uk/2026/01/21/o...

#OtD 22 Jan 1891 Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci was born in Sardinia. His key contribution was his theory of hegemony, which describes how the capitalist class maintains its power through its domination of culture. Commemorative merch here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

The journalists worked for a committee supervising Egyptian aid in Gaza and were documenting a newly set-up camp Being a reporter should never come with a death sentence Journalism is not a crime

As global attention is directed elsewhere and Gaza slips from the headlines, journalists remain on the front lines At least 11 Palestinians, including three journalists, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since dawn, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health

Our comrades at Protest First Aid are doing a workshop THIS SUNDAY 25/01/2026 on dealing with pepper spray and other irritants at protests. Join this free workshop in Bethnal Green, and follow the group on Instagram for more! Instagram.com/protest_fa

Keir Starmer at PMQ's: "The Russians are raining bombs down on Ukrainian civilians day and night.. people are erecting tents to keep themselves warm" Now do Gaza. Except there you're supporting & arming the regime dropping the bombs and freezing people to death.

We seem to be rather good.

US cops making statements like this, we’re really through the looking glass

🚨The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party now has 43,000 signatures! Let’s get the 100,000 needed! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

I'm in a polite mood so I'll just call her a fool.

For those of you inerested in Punk this may well be an interesting listen. Chris Packham comes highly recomended. If you are outside the UK you can listen to it live or I advise getting a VPN! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

Unconnected: the head of the football governance review for the UK government’s next job … head of regulatory affairs at Manchester City. Revolving doors. 🚪

We seem to have normalised the Premier League's inability to conclude the Manchester City case. The years this thing has taken is pathetic. The longer it has taken the more people have forgotten the magnitude of the alleged offences. Time passing has had a kind of watering down affect on allegations

A+ 👏

ICE put six kids in hospital after throwing explosives at family car The family's mother had to use CPR on her baby until paramedics arrived. Yet ICE bosses claimed the family were "agitators" - and then deleted the claim. @skwawkbox.org reports: www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...

Update to Nixon's Madman Theory: now with no theory, but with an actual madman.

Share the television show that raised you

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one. It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

Two games, and a point in the back pocket. *happy face*

You're not getting a medal if we win the league Emi, but keep trying son.
