I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Reform is basically a suburban petrol station's DVD bin of Tory politicians.

Wasn’t Suella Braverman Home Secretary during the two years when UK immigration hit its all-time high?

"We don't require a video. We have an official statement from DHS which has not been disproven." - Walter Hudson, Republican Representative from Albert Lea.

How Justice 'works'. All for you, none for them.

Pick. A. Side. If you turn away from what's happening and have ANY political power, you've made your choice. You're supporting the killing and kidnapping of innocent people. And people around the US -- and the world -- are bearing witness.

Historian Simon Schama: "America is no longer an ally of Europe. Trump has set his marks on enfeebling NATO and destroying the European Union. He said many times that the EU was founded to screw the USA; he always hated it. In the nuclear age, power is an immense, ferociously dangerous thing."

First they killed children and Republicans did nothing because they were not children. Now they’re killing adults and Republicans will do nothing because they are not adults.

1. Wasn’t at a protest 2. Was disarmed when they shot him while he was face down 3. New gun rights rule: the second amendment is when conservatives can carry guns everywhere, but if anyone else has a gun we can kill him on sight bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

ICYMI: Following Renee Good’s murder by ICE, her son’s Minneapolis charter school was forced to go fully online due to right-wing attacks sahanjournal.com/education/mi...

They’re rounding up the priests and ministers now Pastor Niemöller stuff

Are you filled with righteous anger about Donald Trump's fascism in the States? Good, but not enough. Now, make it your personal responsibility to ensure Nigel Farage never gets to introduce it here.

Literally 10 days ago, this hypocritical jackass introduced a bill to make concealed carry easier across the nation to help "law-abiding citizens to more freely exercise their Second Amendment rights." www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-re...

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"

Beyond the insanity of this interaction, we should talk more about how ICE vests all say “police” on them — when they are VERY much NOT police and don’t have actual police powers. They are federal immigration officers, with highly limited authority.

Nigel Farage’s trip to Davos hosted and paid for by family trust of billionaire Trust says Reform UK leader was invited to WEF event by London-based venture capitalist as an honorary adviser

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

And tonight all the main news broadcasts in america will not even mention that their president is unhinged, demented and clearly unfit to lead anything at all. They are so afraid of the truth.

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu. Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

Robert Jenrick helpfully lists all the things he didn't do during his 10 years in government.

Imagine you're a scientist trying to publish a new study, and being told you can't, unless you do background checks on co-authors who aren't U.S. citizens and send their names to national security staff. Also, studies about climate change or DEI written w/foreign scientists = rejected. ⬇️

So DHS’s standard of reasonable suspicion is “bilingual and dark skinned”. Seriously, they’re flexing on how they detained a U.S. citizen because he could speak Spanish and had an accent.

IF U HAVE EVER WONDERED WHAT YOU’D DO DURING SLAVERY, THE HOLOCAUST OR CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT YOU’RE DOING IT RIGHT NOW! Did u know that Anne Frank was born🇩🇪citizen in Frankfurt in 1929—but she became stateless in 1941... Just coz you're a citizen now does not mean you're safe in a fascist country.

Thatcher wrote in her memoirs: “I was to have many disputes with President Mitterrand in later years. But I never forgot the debt we owed him for his personal support throughout the Falklands crisis.” Defence Secretary John Nott: “In so many ways Mitterrand and the French were our greatest allies”.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

75% of Americans oppose US attempting ti conquer Greenland. 58% believe Trump’s first year of this term is a failure 66% of Americans do not think Trump cares about people like them… All from CNN polling. All brutal numbers for him. www.cnn.com/2026/01/15/p...

But yet they are willing to go down in global history as enablers of the worst of the worst 🤷🏼‍♀️

That 'BBC boycott' in full

Otherwise their names go down in history- can’t they see that?

Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs. The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs. Today that deal has been broken by the USA. The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Just the Telegraph casually referring to an Irish woman as a ‘washer woman’ You hit the jackpot there, lads: xenophobia, misogyny and unbridled class snobbery

They are canceling youth sports across the city in Minneapolis this weekend because lawless masked armed federal paramilitaries are targeting the children and families.

Robert Jenrick just last year: "Nigel Farage can't even run a 5-a-side team, so he's not going to be able to run a country." "They're not a serious party... they are not the answer." The wonders of opportunism... 📸 Photo credit: PA Images/Jordan Pettitt

He deserves it, doesn't he? x www.normalisland.co.uk/p/greatest-e...

67% of Reform MPs have previously been elected as representatives of the Conservative Party. They broke the country last time; do you trust them to fix it?

Reminder that in the UK an incoming radical, populist government would have immediate access to immense, unchecked executive power. And the current government is doing nothing to protect us from that.

🎯🎯

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

Funding NHS facilities with private finance a breach of manifesto, Labour MPs say. Govt paid £6 for £1 PFI investment. Private equity profiteering from NHS contracts. Public money buys less. Govt reviving PFI, handing NHS to private equity. Govt can borrow, create money, do QE, tax the rich.

A Reform government would look to cut funding to the NHS by £26 billion. At the same time, they are looking to give tax breaks to people who can afford private healthcare northeastbylines.co.uk/news/health/...

Mad: a woman has bren forced to stop running the Spine Race Challenger (108 miles up the pennine way) because of death threats. She was raising money for Afghan women and aid. So some fucks decided to threaten to kill her. For running. You can donage here: www.gofundme.com/f/sarah-port...
