“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is essentially acting as a massive criminal enterprise. It lies, steals, extorts and murders — all while cloaked in the awesome authority of the state. It is on a crime spree that puts Al Capone to shame.”

What does the science say about transgender women in sports? With all the talk about "men" in women's sports, it's time to take a look at what scientific studies say. A brilliant article 👏👏 www.advocate.com/news/transge...

“The rich think they don't have to live in the same world as the rest of us, so they can let it burn and profit on the way down.” @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social break down the politics in Epstein’s emails, diving into his relationship with right-wing billionaire Peter Thiel.

This is probably one of the most important pieces I have ever written. Robert Lowe MP is proposing the forced expulsion of millions of people from the UK. Full-on fascism is being put before people. We have to decide. Do we want a politics of care, or of hate? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...

En röst för S är en röst mot socialdemokratisk politik, är en röst för ökade klyftor och därmed för att öka risken för fascism. Det är också en röst för en eskalerande klimatkatastrof.

I’m so woke, I believe in full LGBTQ rights, that we should protect the planet, that everyone deserves healthcare, that a nation cannot be Christian, that the world is bigger than America, and that to be "pro-life" means to treasure all of it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/confession...

Politicians should be like athletes with their sponsors' adverts on their clothing.

It’s so weird. Crops are failing, emissions are rising & the ice caps are melting but all the media & our leaders want to talk about is anything & everything other than climate. It doesn’t bode well considering what the science says does it?🔥🔥🔥

We're on the verge of a runaway climate disaster and our reaction is to turn to greed and hatred. You couldn't make this up. RIP Planet Earth - destroyed by human stupidity. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

After a couple of years of silence I revive my blog to write about my abrupt exit from Facebook, losing lots of valuable contacts and recovering from a crashed, virus infested computer. It's been a busy couple of weeks! acreelman.blogspot.com/2026/02/digi...

The world is unravelling at an alarming rate. We seem to be paralysed.

For those keeping score at home:

One of the biggest blows against the illusion of Western democracy in recent years has been that there is now more popular support for Palestine than ever, the tide has turned; and yet it doesn't make any difference whatsoever. Our leaders can entirely ignore us. We do not live under Democracy

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

When Fifa handed the hosting duties of its biggest tournament to the USA, Mexico and Canada eight years ago, the idea of a boycott would have been considered ridiculous. But times have changed, says Jim White, who looks at the growing tension polluting the very fabric of the tournament

What a vile world we live in, when a regime indicated by charges of genocide can reportedly bomb & kill nearly 30 people today in Gaza & it doesn't even seem to make the main pages of so-called western "news" organisations! You'd think mass killing people, during a "ceasefire", would be newsworthy!

Mainstream politics, from the left and right, has run out of road. What's next? youtu.be/zFzgN88sDL8?...

Boycott the World Cup Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

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

The inhumanity of Sweden's anti-immigration politics. The opposition support these brutal methods so there's not much choice in the coming election. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

This has nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s about whiteness, ethnic cleansing, and violence. F*ck ICE.

The irony of our current national nightmare is that the white Conservative Church has enabled, nurtured, and championed more inequity, more immorality, and more misery in these days than any other entity, and there is no close second... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-cons...

“If you can tell me the difference between these two descriptions, then you are a wiser person than me.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social reads out two excerpts, written 82 years apart.

I hope Trump gets heckled and ridiculed in Davos but I suspect they will all politely listen to their leader.

Trump's board of peace have their first meeting ...

Trump is not insane. He is evil.

'You have to fight fire with fire.' @mrjamesob.bsky.social believes the US is now an 'enemy of Europe and anything that stands in the way of Trump's insatiable insanity'.

Europe - stop pretending you can calmy negotiate with Trump. Those days are over. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwoI...

86% of our UK arms imports come from the United States. We are far too reliant on Donald Trump - he is unpredictable and dangerous. Stop hoping it's going to go away. Time to stand up to the bully and to rebuild our relationships outside of the USA. youtu.be/fDr9nrIywHI?...
