Brian Allen 🚨 Norway just did what the rest of the world won’t. Former PM Thorbjørn Jagland was taken into custody today after losing immunity over Epstein ties First real detention linked to this scandal Accountability isn’t impossible. It’s just been avoided by our officials here in the USA. 🇺🇸

Palantir is suing the Swiss magazine Republik who pointed out Palantir's links to ICE and the Genocide in Gaza, which caused the Swiss Government to call them a catastrophic threat and ban Palantir from Swiss Government.

I bring to you the insane president of the United States..

The IMF thinks the UK economy is heading for the worst decade since the 1920s. Unless we get the government to act soon, the IMF will be right. 99-percent.org/rewiring-the...

Take note when voting in the local elections. Welsh!

It’s a serious criminal offence to conspire to remove a UK Prime Minister Meanwhile, let’s have a look at Steve Bannon’s well documented and ultimately successful attempts to remove Theresa May (with Epstein’s support) from 2018-19 bylinetimes.com/2025/11/19/d...

One eighth of the world’s estimated 8 million species of plants & animals are threatened with extinction, according to IPBES. Some 75 % of the Earth’s land surface has already been significantly altered by human actions. If that course doesn't shift, the report warns, future prosperity is at risk.

I'm always amazed, not only at the new versions @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social manage to put together, but the speed at which they get them out after events occur. Possibly, very possibly, their best to date, certainly top 3. youtu.be/F4nefIN4_LY?...

ICE HELL Irishman 🇮🇪 lived in 🇺🇸 for 20 yrs. Built own plastering business in Boston. Valid work permit. Married to 🇺🇸 citizen. No convictions “not even a parking ticket”. Green card application underway since April 2025. Would normally be granted. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

Bill Clinton fighting back. I like it.

Free and fair?

This is MAGA ideological imperialism. It's disguised as a "free speech" crusade. In reality, the Trump admin seeks to coerce Europe into deregulating digital environments to enable unimpeded extremist content that radicalises voters into supporting far-right populists. www.ft.com/content/f869...

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Trump DOJ Sues to Force States to Share Confidential Voter Data truthout.org/articles/tru...

We all benefit from each others' education; whether that's university-educated doctors, engineers or actors Or college-educated electricians, care workers or hairdressers We live in society and all benefit from skills and ideas When we invest in education, we're investing in our own well-being.

Insanely today, China is the more reliable partner for the rest of the world than the US is. I wish that were not the case. The last thing we need is to give China more power in the affairs of the Western world. Except it’s not the last thing. That would be being vassals to Trump’s America.

Why is our media so in thrall to the dimwitted Farage? The man's wreaked havoc on this country, every single one of his ideas has been proven to be a fucking disaster and his parliamentary party has shed a third of MPs in a year. When do they challenge and stop treating him like some PM in waiting?

I’ve written a lot about democracy, but this may be the most important post I’ve shared here. It’s about the moment when political rhetoric stops being careless and becomes dangerous — when leaders start calling their own people “enemies.” That moment is now.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

I’m sure Indian billionaire, Sunny Varkey, wants to give Farage a ton of cash to improve the lives of the people of Clacton. And definitely not to lobby for crypto or fossil fuels or to have first dibs on the firesale of British assets (eg the NHS) that Farage is bartering for power. FFS wake up UK.

....and here we are 😒

Springfield, Ohio next 😳 please not.

Dear voter, sick of the other parties and tempted by Reform UK? Don’t be daft. Don’t do it. They’re not your friends. Unless you are already rich, this report proves that they will only make your life and your family’s lives worse talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/28/d...

👏💚

Remembering H. L. MENCKEN - who left us 57yrs ago today.

Suella Braverman? Ha ha. Farage should just call his company Tories Reformed.

A timely reminder from Carl Sagan

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

Let’s just call Farage what he is; the Trumpsucker.

Journalists and Media alike, please be prepared for the lies Republicans will tell. Make them watch the video of Alex Pretti being murdered by ICE. Make them watch it. Make them defend it. Make their lies obvious.

People all over the world who value democracy and oppose fascism should stop buyIng US products. Starting with the UK government, which is planning to pay the sinister big-tech surveillance company Palantir hundreds of millions of pounds.

This wrecked me. Goodnight.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

It was my sombre duty back in 2010 to honour Danish and British war dead as part of my daily job in Helmand. It feels emblematic of a flawed relationship. arthursnell.substack.com/p/an-especia...

I worked with the UKs SAS in Iraq. Trump is an idiot and Americans respect and appreciate the UKs friendship

Carole Cadwalladr, "He's not that cuddle cosy golf club English pub figure" "He is in a relationship with the US far right and with the European pro-Kremlin far right" "What happened in Brexit, we saw that money that force that influence, those networks coming together"

Keep it up!

Q: What's the difference between someone in NATO and Donald Trump? A: Donald Trump would never put on a uniform to defend the United States.

Do it.

This offends me far more than his usual bullshit. It's up there with his delight in Rob Reiner's death. And if it offends me, imagine how the families of the hundreds of NATO soldiers who died in Afghanistan feel. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-n...

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte confronts Trump to his face about the lies he’s told about NATO. Rutte reminds Trump that soldiers from NATO nations fought and died alongside U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. This confrontation was long overdue.

“This repulsive piece of shit IS Britain’s moral decline“ 👏👏👏

Someone had posted this on Instagram 👌🏼 would be great

Trump just repeated again that China just builds wind turbines but did not use them themselves. Truth is :they actually do. China has more wind power than any other country.
