'Democrats at Munich security summit to urge Europe to stand up to Trump.' The historical parallels are frightening. #history #historyteaching #trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Even the Nazis let up somewhat during the 1936 Olympics. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

This is not the story of a failed state. It is the story of a democracy under stress. History suggests authoritarianism rarely arrives suddenly. It begins when warning signs are dismissed as noise. youtu.be/IQjaNqPFVM4 #IBHistory #Trump #historyteacher

One of the most effective things you can do right now to fight Trump and ICE is to cancel your ChatGPT subscription.

Expect an invasion of Greenland, Cuba or Iran (or anywhere to guarantee rolling 24hrs of 'breaking news') later this week. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has: - Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland - Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota - Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released

I had to Google this. I assumed it was a joke. I imagine it will get its premiere at the Trump-Kennedy Center. youtu.be/dxXJAqOU00g?...

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

'Starmer is the most unpopular new prime minister since records began in the 1980s, plummeting to depths unseen even by Liz Truss, while just 12% approve of the government’s record, compared with 70% who disapprove.' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

'Think of Hitler’s top henchmen — Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels, Rudolf Hess, Albert Speer, Karl Dönitz — all of them as, if not more, fanatical and sadistic than Hitler, eager to carry out his orders, wielding considerable power...' open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

The biggest issue of Brexit Take back control of our borders Did not control our borders It hypercharegd small boat arrivals Because we left the EU And no longer had access to the Dublin returns agreement Brexit didn't fix small boats arrivals Brexit made it happen

This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*. And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA

Here's Home Sec Cooper with the Israeli ambassador who endorsed the complete decimation of Gaza ('every school,every hospital, every home'). Yvette doesn't count such language as terrorism. The other photo is 83 Yr old Rev Sue Parfitt. She calls for an end to genocide. Apparently THAT is terrorism.
