You cannot fight fascism with neo-liberalism.

To those craven souls guzzling the kool aid; dabbling in the dutty politics of sexual predators, racists, extortionists, murderers, liars and thieves… The Reverend Mother will now hear your confession.

‘In the UK, reverse engineering is restricted under article 6 of the European software directive.’ ‘post-Brexit, we needn’t wait for the copyright directive to be repealed before we can strike article 6 off our own law books’ Let’s hear it for Cory Doctorow 👏 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Outrageous bare-faced lies - it’s extraordinary what the right wing press can get away with. Thank you @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org for such a thorough debunking

Meta is Trump aligned. Why are centrist politicians so tethered to toxic tech? Genuine question.

‘Trees and other vegetation capture airborne microplastic particles from the atmosphere and deposit them’ They found PET plastics from food containers and clothing permeate British woodlands. Microplastic pollution is not just an urban problem, it’s everywhere. phys.org/news/2026-01...

The conservation biologist who invented frog saunas. “Waddle is an award-winning conservation biologist on a mission to save frogs from the deadly chytrid fungus, which has wiped out 90 species and is threatening more than 500 more.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yvette Cooper’s hypocrisy is beyond comprehension. Politicians who voted to proscribe Palestine Action, who’ve abandoned those young people and left them to die in cells, have lost all credible ground when it comes to upholding citizens’ rights and freedoms. They should leave politics in shame.

STORY: The GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross Bill Ackman gave $10k to was created by a man with a profile image of what the ADL called a white supremacist hate symbol, who called Good “a stupod bitch who got what she deserved.” It's raised over $400k and is still live. theintercept.com/2026/01/12/i...

Bill Ackman - just go the whole hog and be prepared to face the full wrath, or shut up. You’re in it up to your neck and will go down in history as a disgrace, along with your ICE buddies - prevarication won’t save you.

Ah. Shameless self-interest every time. He’ll fit right in.

Did fear drive Nadhim Zahawi to defect to a staunchly, anti immigrant authoritarian party - and pledge loyalty to its racist leader? As long as Nadhim feels secure, he’s fine with thousands of British immigrants living under fear and tyranny of a Reform Government. What a spineless stooge, he is.

This is a plant I can talk to. I bought it for the bathroom, last week; and so far it’s been good company. Accidentally knocked it off the windowsill today, and had to check it over for damage, apologised profusely - like when I sit on my dog’s tail. It was fine. It’s the friendliest plant.

Is this Nadhim Zahawi being coy in saying he wants to return to Iraq? It happens. I know a Polish woman who voted Brexit, and supports Reform. Having shut the gates on her natives, she’s now thinking of return to Poland, because she hasn’t made any friends here. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

I’m feeling the same. Revoke citizenship for Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe and Tommy Robinson, for a start, as national security threats to the U.K. Banish them to live out their days with which ever authoritarian regime will take them. These men pose far more risk than Shamima Begum has ever done.

The war cry of the right after Renee Good’s murder, has been a resounding: “obey or get shot” This is where the UK Government needs to start passing bills to protect our democracy from the brand of absolute tyranny coming from Trump’s U.S.

The truth: “The evidence shows that violent crime rates are proportionately lower in London than in any other UK city.” The truth no longer controls the narrative. If Trump wants to think London is violent, he’ll make sure that’s what Reform voters believe. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Sheriff Rochelle Bilal! The Resistance is Resisting.

Something tells me you ain't gonna be messing with Rochelle.

Free speech fundamentalists obviously haven’t studied John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty, a classic liberal text on which free speech was founded in this country. Or they skipped the ‘Harm Principle’ chapter - its limitations - which Trump, Musk and Vance routinely and deliberately breach.

Second that. Great interview with Mehdi Hasan on News Agents, who’s thinking about Trump’s regime is refreshingly clear. No use standing around head scratching about what type of beast it is; meanwhile it’s destroying lives and what has taken generations to build.

Musk, Farage and Trump present a political problem for us all, because they want, above all, power without accountability. Royal Society not ejecting Musk highlights this problem in science. Same cause; both male-dominated Why does this class of male feel entitled to have their cake and eat it?

Royal Society creates a morality problem for science by keeping Musk as a member. We can always innovate, but does that mean we should at all costs? Renaissance alchemists recognised a boundary between good and evil, and saw no distinction between spiritual wisdom and genius. A regrettable loss

Studies on ancient migration never fail to show England as a tapestry of diverse ethnicities, wiping the floor with far right insistences that immigration somehow erodes British identity. phys.org/news/2026-01...

Musk’s dictum: “Have your cake and eat it too”

Musk, the race-bating free speech fundamentalist, wants to lock people up for freely speaking the truth.

I was initially against banning X expecting it would only fan the fire of Musk’s free speech apes, like Tommy Robinson. Now I believe in bringing down the full force of the law to prosecute Musk for hate speech. Exhaust every democratic and legal channel to drain his wealth and weaken his tyranny

Plato censored in the US because studying the philosopher encourages questioning and reasoning - an ill tolerated practise in Trump’s dystopia. pen.org/press-releas...

Musk’s strategy is to incite hatred and violent suppression of nonwhite and poor citizens in the U.S., and in European nations. British government should charge him with the crime of hate speech. Ideally, he should be arrested if he ever sets foot out of the U.S., just like Netanyahu.

It is always illegal to rebel against fascist regimes. However, it is always morally and ethically imperative to rebel against fascist regimes.

You can see where this leads in a fascist-led U.S Civil unrest and violent suppression of non white and poor American’s by the federal government. Remove Trump; Reign in Musk, stop oil and gas, to protect your lives and secure a peaceful future. phys.org/news/2026-01...

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

Video shows Renee Good teasing ICE agents and dodging an aggressive move to pull her out of her vehicle, before she was, yes, murdered in cold blood. Good lost her life for teasing an armed gang of fragile, pathetic men.

Reform presents a national security threat, and will bring chaos and violence to the streets of the UK, just like Trump is doing in the U.S. Together, they pose a serious threat to global security...

Republican bullies deploy more threats against the UK to protect their big tech corporate allies.

For whoever needs to hear it, capitulating to fascists will not see you spared by them.

Let’s not forget this vile autocratic, authoritarianism unleashed, is homebaked, domestic terrorism, with a side of Russian interference. If we are to safeguard democracy and preserve liberal tolerance, make institutions fascist-proof, we must cut the head off the gorgon: growth economics must die

Getting to the truth no longer matters; it’s not about who’s right and who’s wrong. The new game is to destroy the truth right in front of our eyes, for the purpose of absolute power and control. Where do we go from here?

Vance knows his question is invalid, a fallacy, easily affirmed by video evidence. He knows, but doesn’t care, because MAGA thugs don’t want to acknowledge the truth in front of them. They want lies that make them feel powerful The Trump administration is knowingly bringing the end of reason.

It will never be enough for the unholy trinity: Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Donald Trump. After murdering a woman in her car, their next move was to storm a public high school and terrorize kids and staff. These kids will never forget this for the rest of their lives.

Let’s not forget why ICE were in Minnesota: Trump dehumanised Somali residents, calling them ‘garbage’. He sent violent, lethal ‘agents’ to hunt and force them into detention. The same terrorism perpetrated by the Nazi Special SS against Jewish people. Impeach and prosecute the orange Hitler.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Farage should be pleased to know at least this Labour councillor is working hard on behalf of Reform UK. Nice one, Kaz 🫠

Alongside this awareness of the heartache we experience when we lose a beloved pet, is hope; it’s a positive sign that humans can love other species as deeply, and even more than we love our own. We need to foster, encourage and broaden that love for other species. medicalxpress.com/news/2026-01...

Try a cold pressed kibble from a brand local to you, alternately mixed with tinned sardines, mackerel or offcuts of your local butchers meat. The global pet industry and marketing myths (capitalism) turns dog ownership into an environmental hazard. phys.org/news/2026-01...

Farage wants to bring Trump’s death squads to the streets of Britain. Together, we will stop him. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...
