Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez: “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🍿

Comparing Easter messages

Everything you need to know about the rage inducing impact of Brexit in a single thread. It's a mad mad world.

My Favorite sign of all time at a No Kings Protest. So F--king True!

Trump is definitely going to hell and so are most of his supporters.

Trump and Netanyahu aren't securing peace for 50 years, they are creating a world in which the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the people they are killing today will still be seeking revenge. There is no guarantee of peace and security through violence.

More evidence that Reform see the world through racist stereotypes.

The President of the United States and the dumbest motherfucker on Earth should be two different people.

@news.sky.com Simon Mc Donald inhabits a world of deference toward the USA that is no longer in the UK's interests.

Given that Trump has obviously had no talks at all with Iran - could world's media organisations please stop reporting his claims as facts - he's making it up in order to manipulate the markets.

Trump obviously had to call Putin in order to get more instructions.

Robert Jenrick on @news.sky.com pretending that Reform didn't want the UK to get involved in attacking Iran, just shows what kind of relationship they have with the truth.

When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’. Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line. They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.

The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.

Didn't Bush declare the Iraq war won and didn't they do the same with Afghanistan.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has hit out at reports that commanders and church leaders are telling people that the war with Iran is god’s work.

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Pretty sure they brought in the wrong First Lady to testify...🤔😏

Most of Epstein's crimes took place in the US - it really is time that the US Department of Justice started arresting people.

In Amsterdam, Ukrainian servicemen undergoing rehabilitation in the Netherlands took part in a march carrying banners reading "This is who we protect."

Europe won 81 gold medals at the Olympics, the US won 12 and Norway one of Europe's smallest countries won 18. If winter sports are your measure of a country's greatness Kash then Norway definitely wins. They also have free healthcare, an outstanding education system and so much more.

There are times when listening to Barack Obama is like drinking hope. Thank you @briantylercohen.bsky.social - www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI-h...

The stark contrast is set to raise a simple but incendiary question: who is truly paying for Britain? Racist POS Ratcliffe, or people coming here from all over the world helping to build Britain? #UKNews

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

£240m. With no tender. Palantir. I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers. Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal. Palantir out.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Danish flags put outside the US Embassy in Copenhagen - each flag with the name of a fallen Danish soldier in Afghanistan🇩🇰 Shortly after they were removed by embassy staff (the flags were not on embassy property). Shame on you, America.

💯

This is excellent political messaging. @zackpolanski.bsky.social hits straight to the core of the problem. This system is intolerable and it must be overcome: production should be organized around human well-being and ecology, not around maximizing profits for the rich.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana 1905

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

British soldiers coming home from Afghanistan 💔 #TrumpMustApologize

And we're back. The moment the danger passes, people rush to pretend everything is alright again. It isn't and will not be.

At the moment there is no chance that I would visit the Land of the Orange Fascist, but when the circle turns and the US again stands for democracy and liberty and justice - the first place I'm going to is Minnesota - the State that remembered what the founding fathers stood for.

Mark Carney's balls made a difference today. #Trump #Davos #Greenland #UTurn

Anybody who thinks that NATO's Article 5 will be upheld by the US is kidding themselves. The only thing stopping Russia from invading Eastern Europe tomorrow is the courage and sacrifice of the Ukrainian people. #Davos #NATO #Ukraine

Ian Bremmer, Eurasia Group: “First Davos i’ve ever heard us CEOs worried about the possibility of Europeans boycotting American goods.” Pressure works.

Mark Carney's speech is now only the second most acute analysis of where the world is at right now:

So the US never got anything from NATO! Trump you are a disgrace to your country and to the NATO soldiers died fighting for it.

The orange fool in Davos - keeps referring to Greenland as Iceland.

Currently listening to Trump's speech at Davos, hoping that somebody will have the courage to throw their shoes at him www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqiT...

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.
