The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

i think about this often

It seems like a good first step to persuade Greenlanders that joining the U.S. would be to make sure that the people of the U.S. enjoyed as good a standard of living as the people of Greenland and Denmark. Maybe introduce universal healthcare, paid leave and sickness leave of 25 days for all?

Hemingway had many flaws but he saw what was happening.

The idea of relying on his sense of morality should terrify everyone. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing. In the face of this administration’s lawless violence, solidarity is the answer. They want to mold America to their cruelty. We refuse.

Béla Tarr, Hungarian director of Sátántangó and Werckmeister Harmonies, dies aged 70

And this is probably how the world ends yhe Russian submarine torpedoes a US ship and the drunk US “war” secretary retaliates so he has something to tell Fox Mews. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Iran teeters, but major US media have no space to report about it

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

not to absolve them of their other work, but every so often the Bee posts a banger

Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew about his crimes, newly released emails reveal – live updates

This is a civil war. Lincoln had McClellan, Hooker and Pope. He junked them for Grant, Sherman and Sheridan We have Schumer, Durbin and Cortez Masto in our leadership. Act Blue, lose my fucking number until we're clean of generals who can't fight or discipline the troops. No cash for this shit.

In 2008, when banning same-sex marriage in California was put on the ballot, Kate Elsley's commute changed. Seeing signs supporting the ban became a reminder of what she might not be able to do.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

This will increase Mamdani's margin of victory by double digits. #ETTD

Remember when Hillary Clinton called some Trump supporters “deplorable“?

I’ve always admired Tom Watson. Never more than now! www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

If there’s one thing you do today, listen to Andy McCarthy who made clear that there is no case against Comey. It’s not surprising Halligan had to present the case to the grand jury herself.

Karen Attiah was unjustly fired by WaPo for soeaking the truth. One of the ways you can support her is by helping pay for her beloved cat's emergency care.

I’m struggling to engage with what’s going on in the U.S. at the moment. It’s a country I’ve always admired, and I’ve found studying the Civil War, especially the growth of US Grant, to be deeply moving and offering so much hope. But I don’t recognise the country or the people I’m seeing.

This is a very Nazi thing to say, actually.

Brutal. A humiliation ritual.

Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.

they had to go with “america party” over the more natural sounding “american party” because the american party already existed and they ran george wallace for president in 1968

Well I needed a good laugh so thanks Eric! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Nice to read such thoughtful analysis of the band and the issue! www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

The news is awful and depressing. So cats it is.

Mike Lee was born with every conceivable advantage in life. His father was US Solicitor Gen & dean of BYU Law, where Mike went to school. Older brother UT Sup Ct justice. Then he got jobs where family connections certainly help open doors. But he decided he wanted to be Catturd.

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

no… no, they can’t possibly be… oh my god, they wouldn’t… they can’t be… YES, THEY ARE PLAYING FORTUNATE SON

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Best image of the day:

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt. In 1942 on her 13th birthday she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. 'Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.' (A.Frank)

Today is the 91st anniversary of the last diary entry of the first man who tried to climb Everest solo. Mind you, his plan had been to crash land a plane 14,000 feet up and then stroll the rest of the way, so perhaps he wasn’t destined to succeed

With Hillary, we'd have had a taco truck on every corner. With Trump, we've got a TACO in the White House!

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country
