Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.” - Hannah Arendt My choice for Quote of the Day in @stinej.bsky.social series.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

This is soviet union shit.

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm. They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination. A smile and a shrug on BBC News. What the hell? FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.

Victoria Derbyshire allowing Zia Yusuf to tie himself in absolute knots by asking him simple questions about Reform policy. A masterclass in quality journalism.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Look at this gear. It's not a uniform anymore — it's a frozen shell. A rescuer's gear frozen solid at -25℃, still working to fix damage from Russian strikes on energy facilities earlier this week. 📷Olha Serafymovych, State Emergency Service of Ukraine

Tulsi Gabbard and the White House killed a whistleblower report that someone close to Trump was talking to foreign intelligence. Trump and his allies are in the Epstein files, and likely controlled through blackmail by foreign intelligence. The Trump administration is a national security threat.

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

This is how it is done. youtu.be/HcOgwJ9uAMQ?...

www.commondreams.org/news/trumprx... This is how you do a headline and excellent reporting.

“The f*ck are we doing?”

POLITICO: “As Europe’s political class moves to clean up its mess and address its shame concerning ties with Epstein , it’s inadvertently highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in 🇺🇸- No prominent politicians have taken a fall.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Has anyone asked Nigel Farage what he thinks of his "resilient and brave" friend Donald Trump posting racist memes on Truth Social?

🇪🇺 Kaja Kallas: In the last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia. We need to seek concessions on the Russian side on limitation on their military budget, their army, or nuclear weapons.

They're still hungry. #politics "In the nation’s 444 farming-dependent counties, Trump pulled in nearly 78% of the vote. Those same counties are now watching multi-generational family farms get fed into the woodchipper of MAGA-nomics. It’s the purest Leopards Eating People’s Faces moment yet"

Johnson 64, Nixon 68 and 72, Reagan 80 and 84, Bush 88, Clinton 92* and 96*, Obama 2008 and 2012 were all more decisive victories than trump 24.

Great work from the FT's John Burn-Murdoch www.ft.com/content/b474...

Det är ett absurt argument, utan förankring i verkligheten. Så blir det ofta när lobbyn ligger bakom talepunkterna.

Awkward for Farage because a good number of Clarkson's many hardcore fans are natural Reform voters and will listen to him.

This is one of the rare recent uses I’ve seen of the word “treason” that seems like it might be arguably appropriate. “Sedition” perhaps www.ft.com/content/7e8a...

För den som inte haft tid eller möjlighet att sätta sig in i hur lätt det i Sverige är att använda bolag för att mjölka välfärden, undkomma skatter eller exploatera arbetare, är den här texten en mycket bra introduktion. www.svd.se/a/rrgvg3/and...

Oj www.svd.se/a/rrgvg3/and...

Make Ros Atkins the Director General. And Eddie Mair the Head of News.

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

Both Badenoch and Farage have been shown to have flagged this item to Mike Johnson and seemingly Trump. This is most definitely crossing a line. Weird how patriots want to undermine their own country.

Äntligen någon journalist som säger som det är - som inte försöker göra Trump normal, politisk och rationell. www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/Exp...

Tory MP Simon Hoare has given a very vivid quote about Donald Trump's comments on Nato allies, which could actually be used in many contexts about the US president: "Frankly Trump makes my flesh creep and my stomach turn. Where are his advisors? Where is his nurse? Where is his sense of shame?"

Ja svenska medier är alldeles för okritiska

"In his final drive for power Hitler had considerable financial backing from a fairly large chunk of the German business world...What good [that] eventually did these politically childish men of the business world will be seen later in this narrative." Shirer, p. 242

"Trump rules out military force to take Greenland," is a headline so bonkers, I never expected to see it in serious journalism, even after he was elected in November. And this is just one year in - how bonkers will the headlines get from here? https://loom.ly/WJPLy4o

Here's an essay I wrote a few weeks ago, "Is It Time For Him To Go?" www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/is-it-time...

Återger man hans babblande på det här sättet, framstår han som en normal människa. Journalister måste sluta med det.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Thank you Mark 🙏💙🌊💙 #Impeach

Mängden AI-generad propaganda mot EU, Danmark och Frankrike (???) jag får upp på X... Man kan nästan misstänka att någon tweakat algoritmen. Perfekt att det är här statsministern och alla andra europeiska makthavare väljare att kommunicera.

"det är fullständigt utmattande att vara instängd i det amerikanska vansinnet, som om man arbetade på ett gammeldags dårhus och aldrig fick gå hem från jobbet."

News outlets declaring “Trump Accepts Nobel Peace Prize” is a red alert state media indicator
