Atlantic staff writer Robert Kagan: “We are heading into dictatorship if we are not already in dictatorship here in the United States.” He tells Channel 4 🇺🇸 is in “much deeper trouble” than European leaders understand, and Europe should not expect the world to return to the old order after Trump

How does this not bring down the Trump presidency? #epsteinfiles

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too. For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case… 1/2

The reviews for “Melania” are going to be far more entertaining than the movie. What a fabulous headline:

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

Is This Thing On is a delightful comedy/drama. Beautifully acted. Feel Will Arnett has been overlooked this award season.

Newly released Epstein files cite a confidential FBI source alleging Trump was compromised by Israel — power, blackmail and foreign influence www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

It's six years today since Britain left the EU. I wrote this on Brexit day in 2020, about the strategic dilemmas to which European membership had once been the answer and that would now reopen once Britain left. I'd stand by most of it today. gladstonediaries.blogspot.com/2020/01/brex...

Dear voter, sick of the other parties and tempted by Reform UK? Don’t be daft. Don’t do it. They’re not your friends. Unless you are already rich, this report proves that they will only make your life and your family’s lives worse talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/28/d...

Giving Nigel Farage a free pass like the media did with Boris Johnson, will end in disaster. They will be hugely complicit in heralding in fascism.

This is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act

This is what a vain, self-regarding cosplay Nazi looks like ⬇️

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

I've not lived in Gorton for a long time now, but it's where I spent the first 16 years of my life and had three generations of family there before me. Heading over on Saturday to help ensure they get an MP from a Party that actually wants to improve life for the people there.

Jonathon Cook on Trump's 'Board of Peace', including how long and very involved Blair has been in the background.

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

Anyone thinking of going to the Olympics or World Cup, don't Every country should be having a very serious think about the safety of athletes, players, officials and fans. It's morally wrong to go and give affirmation to the regime in the US Every day gets more disgusting, ENOUGH

Please share. 💔

People are saying that the World Cup should be boycotted and that would be correct. Even better would be countries declaring they’ll only play matches in the other host countries. Canada and Mexico. With any luck that would give him the aneurism the world needs

Just a reminder that you can watch yesterday's "American Week" via @lbc.co.uk's YouTube channel. Somewhat stunned that more than 300k viewers have already watched it. youtu.be/rHv-aq_HTxI?...

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it. He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America. Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.” So, same as Canadians.

It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.

Time for Canada and its allies to carry out a daring night-time raid on Washington DC in which special forces snatch the US president and bring him back to stand trial for being a lying, racist, broken-headed, warmongering arsehole. Let's see how America likes it. #Venezuela #Greenland #ElbowsUp

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is the leader of the free world right now. #WEF #Davos #Canada #ElbowsUp

Important and chilling: On January 14, the FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter and seized her computers and phone. This legally dubious search has compromised over 1,100 confidential sources and effectively shut down her reporting on the federal workforce. youtube.com/shorts/2CkE7...

Social Media Rule No.1

To put things into context, imagine if Farage was PM at this moment. Which is exactly why Farage is so dangerous.

What kind of catastrophically terrible parents produce a fully grown human like Donald Trump?

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

🚨Thames Water is on the brink of collapse. 🙋We asked its customers what should happen next. 54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector. Read the full results here.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

We’ve permission now to be our worst selves. Many take the offer. Anger’s widespread. How do you avoid temptation? If prevenient grace were real, a hand stretched from on high, whose grip arrested time’s onward hurtle into desolation, the mutual propulsion, hate to hate & back to hate, I’d accept it

Sarah Cooper is back. 👏

Don’t know who needs to hear this but “taking back control” from a Union you’re a member of, with full voting rights, to hand it to an American lunatic you bent over backwards to flatter yet he publicly humiliates you, is not taking back control at all, it’s relinquishing it.
