The #EpsteinFiles show the depravity. But don't miss the larger point: their private sins fuel our public suffering. Realising no one is coming to save us isn't the end. It's the beginning. We must save each other. My new essay on my #Substack 👇🏽 open.substack.com/pub/omargabr...

En este artículo les cuento un poco sobre Judith, La Mazzafirra, y cómo trato de mantener la cordura en medio de tanta barbarie. Me pueden leer acá: open.substack.com/pub/omargabr...

The nurses are pissed

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Let’s talk about #Trump, #Greenland, and how #Europe helped build a world in which all of this is possible. My opinion right here on my #Substack open.substack.com/pub/omargabr...

I’m giving it a go at starting my own #Substack. Let’s see where this leads us. You can read me here: open.substack.com/pub/omargabr...

who could have predicted that stopping international students, care workers and nurses from coming to the UK would damage the economy/public finances while yielding precisely no political benefits? Oh. Me. [& lots of others obviously]

Fascism is swallowing the planet. And we are all UNDER-REACTING.

Keir Starmer is under fire for failing to condemn the United States for its 'illegal' bombing of Venezuela, with Zack Polanski claiming that Donald Trump believes he can act with impunity

Overthrowing the government of Iran and installing the shah led to the Iranian revolution and the Ayatollah. Funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan led to the taliban and Al queda. These unlawful actions could have destabilizing consequences for decades and this will haunt the US for generations.

Fascism always turns to war because of its inability to manage domestic contradictions. Watch for the other shoe to drop; a widening crackdown on domestic political dissent in the United States. What a terrifying time to be alive. We’re back in the 1930s, but now with even deadlier technology.

Do people really think that the same guy who tried to overthrow American democracy when he lost an election is going to bring democracy to #Venezuela? International law died in the rubble of #Gaza and we’re now seeing the consequences.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Britain has long sought the removal of the Maduro government in Venezuela, with evidence suggesting that the policy is guided by an interest in the country’s vast oil resources. www.declassifieduk.org/secretive-uk...

Trump's actions in Venezuela shows why it was wrong to dismiss his threats to Greenland. If he's willing to do this, he will be willing to do anything

Dans les Caraïbes, les récifs coralliens ont réduit de moitié depuis 1980

US–Africa bilateral health deals won’t help against diseases that ignore borders: www.nature.com/articles/d41... “The #COVID19 pandemic, #Ebola, #mpox and #AIDS all show the importance of strengthening #Africa -wide surveillance and response systems that protect everyone.” #GlobalHealth #pandemics

Iceland’s national broadcaster voted Wednesday not to participate in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, joining Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and the Netherlands in a growing boycott over the inclusion of Israel.

I'm not sure how much it is appreciated that there will be significant emigration coming. Those here on graduate visas coming to an end, the toughening up of skilled worker rules re. salaries/sponsorable roles and the 'earned settlement' changes to come. Lots of people are going to leave.

The government figuring this out slowly over the coming two years is going to be quite something to behold.

Fewer workers. Fewer international students. More people leaving. A "step in the right direction" according to the PM. Impossible to take PM/govt seriously on growth if they are deliberately reducing it (and making the fiscal position worse) *as a matter of policy*. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.

In the foreword to settlement consultation, the Home Secretary tells us that "My father came here in the early 1970s, and my mother a little less than a decade later."

I asked grok who was the better role model for humanity, Jesus Christ or Elon Musk. GUESS WHAT.

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

Thrilled to be attending the @worldhealthsummit.bsky.social with @kingsghp.bsky.social I'm looking forward to connecting with people passionate about strengthening #healthsystems globally. Are you going? I'd love to chat about collaborative opportunities over a coffee! ☕ #WHS2025 #GlobalHealth

If you find protesting against genocide offensive then I find you repulsive

She called out world leaders for sitting by and watching a live-streamed genocide without taking action.

"I'm here to talk about what others won’t. To tell the truth about what makes our country great and what makes it not so great. While others thrive on creating scapegoats, I am here to tell you a different story." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What’s even the point of “international law” if Israel can do whatever it wants. Honestly, have we not had enough of this impunity?

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

Retrospective removal of Indefinite Leave to Remain from "hundreds of thousands of people" in the Reform plans is obscene. They talk about "preventing disruption to businesses" but have no regard for what this means for the people themselves, their families and communities which will be torn apart.

Worth remembering many people will be unfamiliar with terms like "indefinite leave to remain" and "settlement". People know what immigration is + citizenship, but settlement is less intuitive So its important for those countering the proposals to put in schoolgate language what is being proposed

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

Some very obvious cases that Farage and Yusuf need to be hammered on: 1. 78 year old pensioner on ILR for last 30 years who obviously cannot get work visa 2. 35 year old born in UK to non-nationals, never got UK citizenship because of cost, loses job and has to move to country they've never lived in

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

War crime after war crime after war crime. International law is completely dead now and I’m wondering how are we still allowing this to happen.

OPINION: Home to just 5 percent of the global population and a widening economic gap with other major powers, Europe isn’t just facing up to a world of continental empires but is at real risk of becoming America’s vassal.

Great one #Banksy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People are exhausted. Our high streets, public spaces, whole communities left unloved. Blaming migrants won’t fix this. Tackling inequality will. Tax the super-rich. Fund public services. #DrawTheLine www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

Found the antisemitism on campus:

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
