Appropriately David Shipley managed to combine a job evangelizing for Brexit with a financial fraud. His credibility is in the bin. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

Brexit superfan, convicted fraudster, now advocating mass deprivation of citizenship for people he disagrees with. Charming.

🚨DAILY REMINDER 🚨 Just as America remembers the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, we can never allow America to forget the attack on our nation’s capital by domestic terrorists on Jan. 6, 2021. #StayWoke #NeverForget🇺🇸 #Pinks🌸 🎥 @mjfree.bsky.social

“Our investigation also developed powerful evidence that showed that President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January of 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a ballroom and a bathroom.”

Jack Smith: “Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power.” #DonaldJ6Trump

Jack Smith: Proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in criminal schemes related to: 🔹 Attempts to overturn the 2020 election 🔹 Willfully retaining & obstructing Justice over classified documents

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee just released — on New Year's Eve — the 255-page transcript of Jack Smith's closed door deposition. House Republicans continue their attempts to bury Smith's testimony. Read it all here: tinyurl.com/cndtn3ez

Can’t buy culture. ✌️ 🇺🇸

One of the first things Trump did in Feb. 2017 was set up an office in DHS to *exclusively* publicize crimes committed by immigrants — just as the Nazis used Der Stürmer to publish a special section only highlighting “Jewish crimes.” See this article from 2017: www.thewrap.com/der-sturmer-...

More than 500 cases of pertussis (whooping cough) in Arkansas. This is a vaccine preventable illness. Just like with measles, people are choosing to let these diseases come back. They’re choosing sickness and disability for children who have no autonomy. www.4029tv.com/article/arka...

Right-wing media spent weeks in a bad faith (or deluded) effort to cast this obvious investigatory step as partisan and devious. Senators tried to award themselves half a mill for it!

This woman has been locked up for 10 months while suffering from leukaemia Just another example of how ICE is a disability justice issue She’s being denied medical care. She’s lost 70lbs. She’s coughing up blood It’s cruel & inhumane They are choosing to let this woman suffer. Never forget it.

Pam Bondi is the most inept US Attorney Generals in the history of US Attorney Generals. She makes Jefferson Beauregard Sessons seem like a brilliant legal mind!

There are 5.2 million pages in the Epstein files. Trumps DOJ has only released a few hundred thousand The fact is, they are breaking the law, they are in contempt of Congress and ironically the justice department is actually obstructing justice The question is, what are they hiding?

Not been a good Christmas for Ewok Powell, first Dubai and now Bedford...

No one would be surprised. 🙄 I could be wrong, but I don't think Trump will go after Jack Smith without any evidence. I think he might be the one person Trump is still actually afraid of. I'm sure they're looking for evidence against him, but I'll be surprised if DOJ tries to Jim Comey him.

Little men do little things to feel better about their own little selves.

IF THE SHOE FITS Justice Brett Kavanaugh isn’t happy that his name has become synonymous w/racist immigration enforcement. ICE’s policy of detaining people based on ethnicity is called a “Kavanaugh stop,” named after his ruling that allows it. He’s afraid the name will ruin his “legacy.” Too late!

Call the Midwife's Helen George says Nigel Farage and Andrew Tate are 'really terrifying' www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/c...

This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one. The less than 40,000 pages that have been released represent less than 0.01% of all the total documents. They are hiding something.

Also reported by The Guardian: ‘Finnish police seize vessel suspected of damaging underwater cable’ Border guards say they found ship with anchor lowered into sea after detection of fault in Helsinki-Tallinn telecoms link www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

The cargo ship, FITBURG, traveling from Russia to Israel, was boarded and seized by Finnish authorities after its anchor chain was found deployed in the water, dragging it from Estonia to Finland. The vessel is suspected of sabotaging the Elisa submarine telecommunications cable.

Mali and Burkina Faso say they will bar US citizens from entering their countries in response to a similar move by the Trump administration. The two West African states were recently placed under full entry restrictions under US President Donald Trump's expanded travel ban.

I wrote this Substack because the immigration and crime debate keeps missing the point. Immigrants are treated as villains or symbols so no one has to talk about class, poverty, and power. #Pinks #Momsky open.substack.com/pub/gissellr...

Significant point. We should not discount this.

The 'make Brexit work' Labour party and their 'red lines' PM Keir Starmer have failed as expected. Lack of integrity. Weak characters. But sucking up to Trump for a chlorinated chicken trade deal. Oh well never mind. Happy Chlorinated Chickens. I mean Happy New Year 🥳

"Under the proposal, detainees would be held in 23 renovated industrial warehouses capable of housing up to 80,000 immigrants at a time, rather than being transferred to existing detention facilities nationwide." Brandon is fighting the conversion of an old Pep Boys Warehouse. 🤬 #FuckICE #Pinks

Another part of the problem is that no one is calling this what it is: a promise to use the power of the state to inflict harm in people for openly political reasons. No pretence at respecting due process or the rule of law, just arbitrary use of raw power however they want

Part of the problem is that so many people are allergic to making a non-technocratic argument. If this citizen, whose claim to citizenship is 'because my mother is', why not anyone else? The question that broadcasters need to ask and the argument the government needs to make.

I have numerous colleagues who work for the agency, but this FWC comment is wild.

This cannot be resolved through elections and trials alone. As a society, we must move beyond the constraints of 17th through 19th century political thought and governance and begin constructing the institutional frameworks required for our collective future. /7 #3E bsky.app/profile/your...
