You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live. And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

“Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar” Never forget or forgive that Trump, Rubio, & Musk *chose* to inflict this monumental level of death and suffering on the poorest & most vulnerable people.

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt". No, me neither.

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

Full solidarity with the flotilla, which represents the very best of humanity. And eternal shame to the European states who refused to protect it from Israeli assault and establish a corridor for aid to Gaza.

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

When people (like Mike Pompeo) claim that the Russia-Ukraine war wouldn't have happened under Trump, what they actually mean - as plainly revealed here - is that Trump wouldn't have helped Ukraine to resist, so it'd have fallen within the expected timeframe.

Wow, the envy of Russia among MAGA is real. They envy their kleptocracy, dictatorship, political violence, and now apparently they aspire to a military that practices ritual abuse of its own, war crimes against combatants and is routinely deployed against its own people.

The GOOD scenario for the future of the USA is that its discussed as an embarrassment, subject of dark comedy, where people chose misery because they ridiculed the warnings of women and people of colour. (The bad scenario is The Handmaid's Tale, obviously, with added foreign wars.)

Wow, scientific evidence REALLY threatens Trump and Project 2025 agenda. It's almost as if they understand their claims are based on fabricated nonsense, best they can do is defund and censor the actual science.

Digital ID won’t stop small boats or illegal employment. You already have to prove your right to work. A national Digital ID is illiberal, unworkable and un-British. I and the Liberal Democrats will do everything we can to stop this. ✍️ support our petition here: [https://buff.ly/UB5CrUZ]

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

Capitalism and corporatism have been exposed as global scams—thus, the rise in fascism. Fascism is profitable. The alternatives aren't. We must unite in solidarity against authoritarianism and corruption. ✊

Why can't European leaders talk like this?

The UN Speech that should have been covered wall to wall

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

"Living through the rise of a dictatorship just means inhabiting a space that is gradually shrinking. There’s no point in resisting, not at first. You just make do with whatever breathing room you still have—until you lose that too." Read Gisela Salim-Peyer: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

Been thinking about the movie HERETIC, which features another brilliant turn by the wonderful Hugh Grant. Very under-rated psychological horror, in my opinion. The rest of this thread will be SPOILERIFIC in order to comment on HERETIC as allegory for what's happening in USA right now. 1/12

Watching some Democrats continue to smear trans people at the very moment the right is trying to exterminate them is one of the most shameful things I can remember witnessing. Wrote about it for @thenation.com today. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It's not only Newsom that thinks this. My guess is that the majority of Trump's admin - and Trump himself - are counting on no more real elections in USA. They know what they are doing is wrong and the only escape from accountability is no more free elections.

OMG. I remember the excitement Huntington's gene was discovered when I was about to start a degree in biochemistry. That was the first day of the first glimpse of hope. Four decades later and there's finally a treatment!

"The tech bros are openly calling for the dissolution of democracy." @goldbergradio.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social talks #Musk #Thiel and more with @raskin.house.gov - the US Congressman who 'roasted' Nigel Farage. podfollow.com/byline-podca...

I dream of this re my comicbook collection, for my kids.

I love Disneyland Paris BUT Europa Park in Germany, near Basel, Switzerland, is FANTASTIC and cheaper, although it does not look/feel 'cheap' and has great food and hotels. Europe folk, visit Europa Park! At least until Disney start behaving!

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Ed Davey urges regulator to go after Musk over X 'crimes' www.bbc.com/news/article...

Important to note that the Commission did not decide to do the dirty trade deal with Trump on its own. Member states (with a few exceptions) were reluctant to retaliate so long as a deal was on the table. The Commission can’t go it alone on something like this. on.ft.com/4mpZqbW

Don't you miss Twitter? 🤡

Glad to see Lib Dem conference has drop-kicked the TERF motion right into the bin.

Subscription cancelled. You can buy cheap Blu-ray or DVD of pretty much any movie, and many popular classics are on YouTube. If they want to make another TV show of the quality of Andor they'll have to find pro-censorship actors.

Outrageous bollocks from a pathetically thin skinned Government which is willing to humiliate Britain on the international stage to brown nose one of the most dangerous men the world has ever known. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In London, hate will never win.

Today is the 846th anniversary of the death of Hildegard of Bingen: saint, abbess, composer, writer, visionary, but best known of course for once seeing the Gruffalo appearing from the Bride of Christ’s, um...

I am starting to love Ed Davey.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey responds to Elon Musk.

I spent most of yesterday offline and so much was reported and then retracted that by the time I got back online everything had canceled itself out and there was no news

Receipts for when your apolitical friends look askance at hearing the UK media is intentionally stirring up fear of trans people. Add BBC Radio 4 Today programme to these papers.

The Government proscribed Palestine Action as terrorists by claiming that secret intelligence justified doing so Newly leaked intelligence report reveals that most of their activity: - Couldn't be described as terrorism - Isn't violent but focused on property damage -Most of that damage is "minor"

Playing the closing theme to Camberwick Green, just because everything is awful and it blocks things out momentarily

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

The new unwoke bosses at FBI are probably screaming themselves purple, believing that law enforcement is a thing you can do just by scaring subordinates and wanting it badly enough.

Boris Johnson thinks these views are normal and until recently were held by most people.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Assassinated Minnesota House of Representatives Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman deserved better. She deserved for the entire nation to grieve for her instead of a literal Neo-Nazi. How quickly we forgot her name
