The BBC, the press, the Universities, who next? The UK's key and core institutions are consciously preparing the ground for Fascism. Enabling, abetting, collaborating.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card). There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well. The Peleus World War II War Crimes Trial www.usni.org/magazines/na...

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Lying in politics is wrong and should never be rewarded, says newspaper which pays Boris Johnson £1 million a year to be its star columnist

They are blowing up boats for drug trafficking. Then he is pardoning a drug trafficker. Illogical.

ICYMI, it's getting founded (again) as the previous extreme right youth wing group of the AfD had to be dissolved for (openly) being too extremist

“It sounded as if he was suggesting that songs about gassing Jews, Asians and Black people amount to no more than “banter”. That’s not schoolboy Farage talking, but the Farage of 2025.” Yes. Same racism. Now weaponised by the wealth and power of the far right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

What a great headline

Famously, white European societies have all been non-violent for millenia /s

Why wouldn’t you want to know? What have you got to fear? Losing your precious Brexit? Being revealed as a traitor and a liar? Surely, anyone decent and honest who genuinely cares about our country and our democracy has nothing to lose from this. So, sign up. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing "Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions." Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

USA now officially stands for "U Suck, America" and it's not gonna go any better for quite a while

Many newspapers and politicians have been calling yesterday's fiscal statement a 'Budget for Benefits Street'. Here's three reasons why that is not accurate 🧵

🚨🚨 Welcome news: #socialmedia giants including #Meta and #TikTok will be held liable for financial fraud for the first time under new EU rules agreed by @europarl.europa.eu and @consilium.europa.eu yesterday. www.politico.eu/article/soci...

If you had plans to visit the US, cancel them. Including Olympic athletes and World Cup teams and fans. Otherwise you’re sanewashing ethnic cleansing.

‘Speaking outside his chateau in France, former Brexit Party and UKIP MEP Coburn answered "no" when a BBC journalist asked him whether he had ever been paid to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners.’ Great work from @BBCWales. Keep going

Nigel Farage new campaign bus announced (He shouldn't be allowed anywhere without this in the background)

Trump announcing in an endless rant on thanksgiving that all non-natives must be kicked out ("You've reached irony's voice mail. Unfortunately, irony is unavailable because of a burnout. Really not sure when -or if - it'll recover. Bye.")

Donna Hughes-Brown is a wife, mother and grandmother who’s lived in Missouri for 37 years. She’s an Irish citizen who’s husband served in the US Navy & voted for Trump ICE revoked her status because she wrote a bad cheque in 2015 for $25. She’s being held in a camp in Kentucky

Aside from the disproportionate influence RW bottomless funding has on the debate, may I point out that while it’s ok to criticise decent people as they’ll stay polite and/or acknowledge mistakes, the “woke cancel us!” mob will unleash threats & insults if not vexatious trials

"We can take it for granted that Trump and his advisors would greet a terrorist attack as an obvious chance to blame their chosen enemies, advance their project of authoritarian regime change, and distract from their own perilous follies. (1/2)

Again I still think the public would get it better if Reform was called by its full name The Brexit Budget Hole party

ICYMI, yes, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy got condemned *again*, and yes, it's not for the case that got him 5 years in prison (say that fast, he's already back home), but for his 2012 electoral campaign finances Can't wait for mouthpieces and idiots to call that "harassment"

Call the black home by its full name The Brexit black hole (And while you’re at it maybe call Reform by its full former name The Brexit black hole party)

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.

BTW could Farage provide an example of unhurtful, uninsulting racial abuse?

How about we stop foreign-owned corporates & billionaires remitting the money they make out of us here to their offshore, tax dodging, related companies?

Please understand what that means: Best way to hurt America is to support Trump (Although also surely a few grifters making a living out of hurting America mostly because Musk is paying them to do so)

Now Trump has offed to gift Russia territory in Ukraine, will he bring a similar ‘peace’ to Taiwan? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Today in the "Who gives a f*ck" Daily

Unbelievable how unacceptable behaviour by young men can be dismissed as "acting out", "understandable immaturity" aso When girls of any age are underaged women who know exactly what they are doing and ain't forgiven the singlest mistake Maybe we should start raising all boys like girls

"Please stop creating wealth in our country. If the point is to take care of your family, it's unacceptable. Go create wealth elsewhere" (Quick note: If said migrants have money to send away, it means they are working. Ergo providing services. Ergo creating wealth.)

Everything that is wrong about our ‘disinfotainment’ era supercharged on hate & outrage bait explained in 4 sentences by @markhamillofficial.bsky.social and Master Yoda -Back in 1980-

Doge had disbanded -Doesn’t keep Reform from branding it a great idea for the UK- Easy to think Milei-style chainsaw was abandoned just because it was a train wreck Encline to think the havoc wrecking/data gathering op was complete is all www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a....

Aaaaand it's raining (Yes, it will freeze tonight, here come slippery times) Climate change is so "unreal" I can see its effects *with my very eyes* despite the quite limited time I'm to spend on this Earth

May I add it may be a little tricky to fix things if there's no intention to do anything about the origin of challenges "Do not even mention closing the tape, let's mop some more instead - oh and by the way you're to foot the mop bill" seems to be the new trend in politics (see climate change)

FTR FIMI=Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (yeah well I didn't know)

We urgently need to know how many of these accounts have been spreading/amplifying hate, division and instability in Britain. We already know that a foreign actor - Elon Musk - promoted violent overthrow of the government. Has his platform been enabling foreign adversaries to do the same?

The BBC grilling in the Commons today will be one to watch... Politico: "Michael Prescott, who wrote the report into [alleged] bias which kicked this whole [row] off, is up at 3.30pm, while BBC board member Robbie Gibb...will face questions alongside BBC chair Samir Shah" afterwards.

"Really, really, there's no need to investigate Russian bribes in our party, let's forget about it ASAP, quickly, quickier than that, really, it's a nothingburger", Zia Yusuf, Head of Reform 'Nothing to Hide' Policy says

Holding power to account! Spanish court ruled on Thursday that Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, must pay €479 million to national media organisations for what it determined to be ‘unfair competition’, along with an additional €60 million in accrued interest.

Good morning

i am chronically online just for moments like this 😭

"But wait I was trying to force her hand politely, so that makes me nice, right?"

Why is it that, every single time I think "huh looks like this politician gets it", they start echoeing Russia's "Support The Warmonger" propaganda How effing hard is it to stand against the massacre of innocents and consider deterrence might be more efficient than self-inflicted powerlessness

Starting on Tuesday I will have only one job for almost a whole week and that hasn't happened to me since

We live in an age where there's a glut of information and scarcity of attention, mediated through platforms that prioritise engagement over accuracy, and emotion captures attention more readily than reason.
