Thinking in systems, not vibes: A Muslim man took two bullets stopping a mass killing of Jewish people. That fact should *collapse* Islamophobia and antisemitism in one move. Notice how the system refuses to let it.

My wife's a para-professional. She's been through a lockdown hiding students and has to take active shooter training involving live rounds being discharged every year. I know how you feel.

Teacher here. Every loud pop, door slam, student who screams…I feel the panic of it being a shooter. I call it low grade terror. I’m holding you in my heart.

It's a sad world we live in, I wish people would just stop killing each other.

Ban ALL guns‼️

Geez. One year after seeing a 16 year old kid gunned down 5 feet away from me, the most traumatic thing I've ever witnessed, I see two mass shootings on the news, one here and one around the world from here. People are sick everywhere.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

Your daily reminder that Nigel Farage is in every possible way the worst person we could choose to run the country. He has no shame, no judgement and no common decency. I wish he would shut up and fuck off.

Any time I comment on shootings in the US, I invariably get told that "you need guns to defend against tyranny". * looks back over 2025 * .... does "tyranny" mean something different over there?

Hearing the news of a campus shooter in the US, and how faculty map out exits, carry tourniquets and wound packings, and teach on campuses where weapons are allowed …. and it is *literally* unfathomable to me. Beyond fucked.

The latest example of the power of anti-corruption, pro-reform politics.

Time for our own mandate. For every citizen ICE arrests. Arrest 4 ICE. Fine the fuck out of them for every single infraction. They will not able to carry weapons…If money is the aim. Let’s play. Yeah the game is rigged. It’s up to US to rig it in our favor.

“This is not America having priorities that don’t involve Europe. It is not isolationism. It is America taking sides with Russia against Europe, because one of America’s two political parties now sees Russian autocracy as preferable to European democracy.”

I’ve seen two kids post that the Brown University shooting is the second school shooting they’ve survived. This should enrage and radicalize everyone. Kids shouldn’t have to survive one shooting, let alone two. No more thoughts and prayers. It’s time to address the guns.

No such thing as "American politics" at the moment. The actions taken by this malignant narcissist affect, or will affect, pretty much every one on earth. From his cutting of USAID, to his stupid tariffs, to his craven bootlicking of Putin, to his failing economy, to his undermining NATO and the EU.

No parent wants this text. Thinking of the Brown University community.

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country. But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes. That's not the service for which we thank them.

Maybe someone could ask the president not to post the all-clear on mass shootings before the suspect is in custody.

I shouldn’t have to share this article as much as I do. Sending condolences to all friends and family and loved ones from the Brown Shooting today. www.newsweek.com/2025/07/18/f...

The only thing I have in common with people on Fox News is a contempt for their viewers.

It appears we upset Fox. You can listen to the full episode here:

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again. “Honestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.” We’re failing our kids. A gun-sick nation. 🇺🇸 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

A year after touting the “historic realignment” of minority voters that powered him to a second term, President Trump’s multiracial coalition is slipping away. https://wapo.st/4aNcshz

Tommy Robinson's Christmas Carol service featured two arrests - one for assault and another of a man suspected of homophobic abuse. And loads of union flags and massive crosses... because that's traditional at the events where we celebrate Christ's BIRTH, isn't it. Crosses and flags.

Fact-check: true

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

Jessica: There are some key indicators that Trump and this administration knows this is going badly… We aren't getting the jobs numbers anymore, the GDP numbers or inflation numbers and we know, Donald Trump, if the number is remotely good or he can lie about it—he tells you what it is.

www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec... I’m not sure Starmer understands politics at all. His response to attacks from people who disagree with him seems to be to say: “Let’s appease them”, rather than to defend his position. It is fundamentally defensive and defeatist, and frankly infuriating.

A gerrymander is not a sure thing…

As people who were already approved to be naturalized — having completed the lengthy U.S. citizenship process — lined up to pledge allegiance, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials told them they could not continue due to their countries of origin, the outlet reported.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate. Good. Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose. She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot. It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Nigel's partner, Laure Ferrari, didn't work in politics until after they met. She served as executive director of the Institute for Direct Democracy in Europe (IDDE), a think tank based in Brussels; auditors refused to sign off spending of many thousands of euros of public funds in 2016. #Clacton
