These two things are of a piece, even if the motivations and details differ. Trump’s justification for his authoritarian crackdown is an America that doesn’t exist. @lizzieohreally.bsky.social

Fox News has their very own go-to "expert witness" that they use whenever they want to vilify a group they don't like. He's part-time cos-player, full-time drunk driver and claimer of being the killer of bin Laden, Robert O'Neill. 😹 youtu.be/mEICWtiU7EA?...

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

Staggeringly, Jenrick is a qualified solicitor. And married to the daughter of Holocaust survivors…and we all know what happened to Jews (and dissidents) when Hitler turned the German judiciary into political puppets. So shame SHAME on him.

WHITEHOUSE: Do you know if the FBI found photographs of Trump with half-naked young women in their search of Epstein's safe or premises? BONDI: You're trying to slander President Trump when you're the one who was taking money from one of Epstein's closest confidants. I could be wrong. Correct me.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

JFC the man has not one ounce of shame in him. He went to private school and Cambridge. He owns three homes and rents a fourth!

Apparently the BBC’s favoured Zionist spokesman, Sammy Stein of Glasgow friends of Israel, attended the far-right gathering against asylum seekers at Buchanan steps a couple of weeks ago.

On average, every 4 years, the ECHR stops the UK removing 1 foreign person. They want you to demand we leave the ECHR because of this. I've being saying "told you so" about Brexit for a decade. Don't let them do it to you again. Please listen this time.....

NEW: The militarization of American cities isn’t happening with a parade of tanks. It’s a slow drip of troop deployments that are probing courts’ willingness to give unlimited deference to the commander in chief — and testing workarounds when they don’t. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

KPMG fined £710,937.50 for dud audit of N Brown Group. Failed to perform proper accounting checks. Fines are just another cost of doing Nelsonian audits, passed to other customers Audits by big firms are worthless, but highly profitable. Partners collect millions, exploit state guaranteed market.

Hey there, @nytimes.com. The judge didn’t “decide not to immediately block.” She ordered a response from the government Wednesday and set a hearing Thursday. Let me know if you need help with this.

Despite the noise, renewables keep rising now generating more electricity than coal. @iea.org halved its US outlook, but raised India’s by 10%, putting it on track as the No. 2 growth market after China. MENA up 23%, driven by Saudi wind and solar.

Durbin to Bondi: "Although you've been a registered foreign agent for Qatar, you didn't recuse yourself from signing off on Trump's solicitation of a free jet from the royal family, even though this gift was clearly illegal. Connections to Bondi seem to yield more favorable outcomes for defendants."

An experiment: If you see this post, please like it. Am comparing numbers to the other place for a piece.

It really is an amazing accomplishment to be able to stand out for your callous awfulness in this Trump administration.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday. Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month bylinetimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

Tory Mel Stride wants to slash the UK’s overseas aid to 0.1% of national income. That’s not just cruel, it’s racism dressed up as fiscal prudence. Cutting aid means condemning millions to poverty, fuelling migration, and destroying economic stability. youtu.be/eOzRnwaxFjM?...

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

The public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States.

Another ecological disaster on Teesside. We've heard that before somewhere. Excellent reporting from Julia Mazza of @northeastbylines.co.uk Pollution kills all Tees Estuary seal pups  northeastbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

The petition against digital ID cards has now reached 2.8 million. Keep sharing, it would be good to get this past 3 million by the middle of the week.

no industry in the US has ever really been angelic but there is an unique combination of messianic fervor and raw nastiness behind current AI gold rush that even fairly jaded science fiction hasn't really depicted quite well bsky.app/profile/cksh...

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?

This is evil. There is nothing Christian about this.

you're looking at a foreign country. the government rounds up people on the basis of skin color or other characteristic, puts them in 'detention' facilities, separates families, deports them without process, confiscates their property, denies them access to counsel. what would you call it?

What an absolute crayon muncher. "Masculine Christianity"

If you're Army and know anything about the plans to deploy the 82nd airborne to Portland, text me securely via Signal at 202-510-1268

Barely a fortnight has passed since Kemi Badenoch’s reflexive and incredibly OTT hostility to the government’s proposals for digital ID.

These paper patriots always turn out to be tax evaders. It's so easy to wake the nationalist monster inside us to hide their true intentions that they must be laughing all the way to their tax havens

Casey Desantis’s charity that got $10 million redirected from a Medicaid fraud settlement the state entered into directly into its bank account rather than the FL treasury.

The next general election is going to be unbearably awful isn’t it Just parties lining up to outdo each other in awfulness

Democrats need to do more to reach out to the “Michelle Obama saying kids should eat broccoli is tyranny, but using the 82nd Airborne to deal with 50 protesters in Portland is just plain common sense” voters.

Really speed running 1930s Germany at this point, not even bothering with a Reichstag fire

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

THE TIDES ARE TURNING 61 percent saying Israel has committed war crimes and about 39 percent saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians You’re gonna say this isn’t enough. You’re right. But these numbers were almost unthinkable a year ago.

BREAKING: Over 100,000 people in Tel Aviv are protesting war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and his illegal genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”
