Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?

We need access to Mandelson's financial affairs to check that eg Government contracts with Palantir were not entered into because he was paid to lobby for them.

unraveled is *two* people, doing work that much bigger newsrooms aren't

"we just had record-breaking snowfall, how can global warming be real"

Breaking News: Water is wet and community organizers live and work in their community. Jennica Pounds aka Data Republican: “We've been building COINTELPRO AGI the past week.”

Too often, children’s exposure to intimate partner violence is treated as a private issue — not a public health one. But the impacts are lasting, widespread, and undercovered. 👀 Why this story needs more attention — and how to report it responsibly: healthjournalism.org/blog/2026/01...

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister. Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

Charles Manson.

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

👇🏽

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

"I had no reason to believe the known liar was lying to me" is at least something Starmer has in common with his core supporters.

How could I have possibly known that Peter Mandelson couldn't be 100% taken at his word, says Keir Starmer, about a man whose public nicknames include 'the Prince of Darkness' and 'the Dark Lord'

What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?

Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election. The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform. Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Get Palantir out of the UK. Protect our NHS. Protect our country. www.thenational.scot/news/2582860...

Men resigning after the horrors revealed in the Epstein files is NOT justice.

Excellent news.

The GOP has offered nothing this century except for catastrophic wars. No healthcare plan; no re-industrialization. Now they're losing their only issue, immigration, as people see the violence and havoc that comes with mass deportations.

William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them. They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear. While helping to consign us all to catastrophe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A row of homes in a village in south Wales is to be bought by a local authority and demolished as they can no longer be protected from flooding caused by the climate crisis. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Every remaining Labour Supporter:

Justin Webb just introduced an item on BBC R4 by talking of campaigners in Scotland litigating to "keep biological males" out of women's prisons. No longer bothering even to pretend to be constrained by the BBC's 'rules' on editorial independence to keep his personal bigotry under wraps.

Good also to see this acknowledgement that the student loan system is extremely regressive. Nothing fair about this, pre-or post-2012.

…anti-dhs/trump/etc resistance from ordinary people in Minnesota fight back harder. The more blood spilled, only caused them to organized faster and more, put their bodies on the line in the freezing old under threat of arrest or murder more, and made them stick their necks out for their neighbors…

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I mean, it’s not even that “landmark”, it’s in-line with all previous research. Same as before: Sports’ governing bodies should set policies based on good science and a spirit of inclusion, not the opinions of lunatics who only care about sport as a wedge issue to bully trans people out of society

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Finally, a politician prepared to fight against the huge roll in public life being handed over to Palantir by our corrupt govts. Why is Palantir being given NHS contracts? They are reportedly involved with rounding up migrants in the US and targeting mainly civilians in Gaza.

While SW1 theorises that the Green surge is down to Polanski, SE4 reality says it’s 99% Starmer. One resident comes to the door having just read about Shabana Mahmood giving the police facial recognition technology. “As a black man, I don’t feel safe.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Maybe the million and oneth study will be the one that convinces people

RUN. RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS CONTEST.

That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.

Don't let them pretend they didn't know

These lies are constantly repeated. "It's the pull factors", "Our generous benefits", "Our 5 star hotels". All bullshit. As with taxes, welfare for the general population & much else besides, our media refuses to show the full picture compared to similar nations. We're worse on most measures.

Mandelson IS the spirit of Blairism

the fact that wes streeting is even an option to replace keir starmer is how much of a mess the parliamentary labour party is in. the man is one of a handful of mps more loathesome and lightweight than starmer, he's mandelson's protege, and he won his seat by just 527 votes. labour are done.

Interesting detail here is a full manuscript is being returned to Mandelson 5 days after Mandelson stops being Business Secretary (amid an industrial crisis) & effective deputy PM. Must have been written in office You’d have thought he might be too busy

What's most amazing is not how bad Starmer is, saying one thing and doing the opposite, but how easy a ride he is still given by those supposed to hold power accountable By amazing, I mean entirely expected of course except to those who still pretend we have a democratic public space

"The #climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures & compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – & could undermine the foundations of economic growth” - Dr Jesse Abrams, @gsiexeter.bsky.social

Ah, @khayerc.bsky.social is on here, but apparently doesn't post much. Well, in case he does see this, then his should sort out the "community safety" of trying to cycle around Ilford and his borough in general and I will happily show him the fun of Winston Way or the 86 bus drivers.

Mandelson would never have been exposed by the British media if it wasn't for the US DOJ dumping all those files. They would have assisted in covering up his role instead, like they've been doing for the past 30 years. They knew what he was and they kept quiet for decades.

Do y'all see why I have no faith in this Democratic leadership? Is anyone surprised? If so, why?

It’s so cruel - and what next? People are housed in hotels (& barracks) often out of town, bus routes are scarce & the weekly allowance is pitiful. Charities can step in, but are people now just going to get sick? What is the plan here?

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment? "Pull factors" on steroids. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This in response to claims that minimum energy efficiency standards for rentals will cause a housing shortage due to landlords selling up. Who they're selling to is never addressed in this forecast and they'll get cross if it is pointed out.

A deaf teen was violently detained by ICE for not “following orders”. He couldn’t hear their orders. They denied him an interpreter. Denied him accommodations. This is who they are. They target the disabled because eugenics and fascism go hand in hand.

This is amazing.
