@marshfamilysongs.bsky.social sum up general opinion in the U.K. once again. And I can’t remember the U.K. being quite so united on any issue in the news for the past decade. He’s bungled his way to that, at least.

Here’s an example of what I’m doing, as a U.K. based Brit. A tiny little drop in the ocean, but I do this in the spirit of ‘every little helps.’

If I want to see what's going on in America I have to go to foreign news networks.

Let's use the correct terminology, shall we? Abduct. US immigration agents *abducted* a two year-old girl.

True sickness. Please KARMA come SOON.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social why wasn’t this front page news and prominently featured on television news (domestic and international) throughout yesterday? We need to help these people to the maximum extent. They are not just protesting for their own state and nation, but for the world.

Carney has led and done just that and now...just announced.. threatened with new tariffs for daring to challenge.

How is it reasonable by any standards to force a nation to negotiate for peace with another nation that is unleashing this upon them even as they sit around the table? Even a 6 year old can see that this is how bullies behave. Why is a NATO country facilitating this? 🤯

This is a good summary of some of the key problems the contemporary world needs to solve.

Detaining young children is not acceptable by any standards, it’s sign of a terminally fragile democracy. It’s time for other western democracies to follow Carney’s lead; to frankly call out the Trump regime. In the meantime… what are democrats in federal governance actually *doing*?

What deals have been made with AI producers for ed tech that can reduce the requirement for human teaching staff? There’s a previous worked example: The NHS and Palantir. www.bmj.com/content/386/...

If this user is British, surely there must be a way he can be prosecuted in this country. This really cannot go on, it is horrific.

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape. Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason. But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇 jessasato.substack.com/p/ai-nudific...

I’ve got a better idea. Why not have a major section called ‘pastoral’ with these two factors as subheadings. ‘Relationships with families’ could be another one. Any suggestions for others #EduSky?

Um… it never had one. One of the festering problems of 21st century mass media is reality shows rooted in people being as horrible as they can to one another as entertainment for the masses - psychological Roman Circuses. It started with basic Big Brother and went downhill from there.

Airing your room(s) every day is a normal routine to me, as is sleeping with a window open. It must be my European upbringing. 😊

My grandma used to do this. Beds were also aired while the windows were open. Yes, it’s freezing, they believed it discouraged ‘germs.’ There were also open air schools rooted in the same belief (which being totally outdoors, under shelters during rain and snow) probably worked to some extent.

Please, someone publish this book IRL!

Meanwhile, Britain finds itself lost between two worlds. We were told we didn’t need Europe, we could rely on the transatlantic relationship. They couldn’t have been more wrong.

Let's keep the American tech bros out and encourage UK/EU actors.

CARNEY: “.. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” 🔥

It’s incredible that Farage was too ill to go on BBC Breakfast last minute, but has enough energy to do a Reform rally and Davos this week. He must have a severe allergy to scrutiny.

Second that with respect to Brits. Although we must take some responsibility for birthing it and now refusing to fully recognise what it has become 😔 Similar to QEII and the Andrew formerly known as Prince situation, I guess.

We do not belong to the US

Marina Hyde really acing it with this article in @theguardian.com (which is about a lot more fundamental human issues than just Beckham Inc.)

Under Republican leadership, the US Congress has essentially ceased functioning, and certainly failed to perform its constitutionally prescribed functions in national security questions. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

‘The world’s not a toy for grabbing.’ Funny song with a few serious messages in the mix.

There are so many ways people can be everyday heroes in the current world situation. Here’s someone from a previous generation who stepped up, but insisted she was doing nothing extraordinary.

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. means more than remembering his words—it means practicing his courage when it’s inconvenient.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

Yes, it’s real. 😳

Is this genuine? Gobsmacking if true!

#Psychology, it’s a must watch for wry reflection on the Milgram, Zimbardo and Adorno studies. Kelley said it first: they *are* monsters but *not* aberrations. There are people like this in every generation, culture and nation, and we must prevent their rise to the top. But 80 years later… 😞

Well. It seems I’m on GMTV tomorrow morning, talking about family psychology. I have done live TV as a talking head a few times before but it’s always a bit scary… 😬

The biggest problem for folks living in other nations, especially those who have visited the US many times, this looks like a dystopian movie, there is always this feeling of unreality to dismiss. I can’t imagine how awful this must be. I am so, so sorry.

I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.

It is time for social policy makers to understand who human beings *are* in terms of their potential for both heroism and atrocity, and to create a society in which heroism is more explicitly nurtured. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk @researchdigest.bsky.social

These people have the integrity of a slug. They’ll hitch their wagon to whoever they think can get them back onto the Parliamentary gravy train. Zahawi clearly wants to heat his stables again.We must educate young people so generation after generation don’t keep falling for these wizards of sleaze

We must be heroes: Stranger Things meets politics through the ‘hero’s journey’ An age-old desire for a hero’s narrative has potential to create both unrest and reform in today’s political and social climate By Dr Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social

Absolutely, Political history should be a must on the curriculum. Teach our children how the Right wing con works against the unguarded mind.

This is unfair on slugs. It’s time to start cultivating critical thinking in young people and promoting ideas of active citizenship not passive acceptance of power.
