Kidnapping the leader of a foreign country after launching airstrikes against its military, is surely illegal in every way. America, what the fcuk are you doing?

Please, let's have no wishy-washy 'stand with our ally' crap from the British government today. Condemn this. Take the high ground before other bad regimes (e.g., Russia and China and Iran) do at the UN www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

Nigeria, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, and Venezuela - all countries the US has attacked since January 2025. The nonpartisan conflict monitor, ACLED, states that the US, before today, has carried out – or been a partner to – 622 overseas bombings, using drones or aircraft, since January 20.

Would like to see some JAG officers on the news talking about whether these military strikes are technically legal and, if not, what sort of liability commanders have incurred by carrying them out.

I hope that the EU will be discussing today what sanctions they will bring against theleaders of the US regime.

Trump just illegally bombed Venezuela and sent in troops without congressional authorization. Innocent people are going to die because this demented bastard wants to waive his tiny dick around to force a regime change.

Nästan orimligt att vi fick hela två dagar innan 2026 års första oprovocerade invasionsattack

Donald Trump, obliged to withdraw the military from the streets of US cities, now directs that foreign sovereign states be bombed.

The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere. But it is wrong. It is a myth. Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US. Gabriel Zucman dismantles the myths. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Everything in this thread is bang on point and should be read by everyone- especially those who refuse to see the Russian threat and are still playing on old Cold War settings

In the US, whoever is making foreign policy it seems highly unlikely to be the current president, who lacks the knowledge, the skills, or the temperament.

I left X and it's rage baiting. I don't need to hear or see screenshots of what idiots are saying on X. Thanks for your attention.

So Boris Johnson, Prince Phillip, Andrew Bonar Law, Freddie Mercury, George I, George II, Richard E Grant, Douglas Carswell, Rudyard Kipling, Cliff Richard, Joanna Lumley and Spike Milligan weren't British? Interesting www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It should never be possible for any minister to revoke citizenship with a stroke of the pen. #checks #balances Jenrick - like Farage - wants to be an unaccountable tyrant like Trump.

It isn't even subtle. If rights granted - at birth or at any time in life - can be withdrawn on a governmental whim, they were never rights. And thus never 'rights' for anyone.

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind: If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist. If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist. Pretty clear

One of the attack lines towered above the rest, according to Steve Akehurst, who was behind the research. His analysis points out that “by far the most impactful” message was exposing its extensive ties to fossil fuel interests and corporate donors. writesbright.substack.com/p/new-resear...

$100m of solar panels saves a country 30 years of gas imports at 2024 prices for the same 1.5TWh of electricity generated That's a $3b saving in gas imports for each $100m of solar deployed Another one of my charts of the year

It’s interesting how the risk awareness that dependence on US systems - be it in digital services, defence, or payment methods - has been internalised fairly quickly in Europe. National Bank of Sweden chief says Sweden is too dependent on MasterCard and Visa and needs non-American alternatives

”Juristkommissionen vill därvid särskilt framhålla risken för prejudicerande effekter. Om retroaktiv återkallelse av gynnande beslut accepteras som styrmedel på migrationsrättens område, försvagas den principiella spärren mot motsvarande ingrepp även på andra rättsområden.”

The napkin math on clean power deployment to decarb in 30 years is a megawatt a minute (525.6GW/yr). The catch is that's after capacity factor adjustment, so this amount of solar is about 25% of the way there.

Sweden once preached solidarity. Now the right wing government cuts aid to the world’s poorest. Sweden has lost its place as an actor for human rights. @palmecenter.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

When you look at all that's happened in the Black Sea with the Russian fleet and Ukrainian surface drones.. and decide you need bigger surface ships. 👍🙃

1. They don’t need it. They just want it. 2. Even if they need it, who cares? It’s not theirs. End of story. 3. They better not try to take it or force its surrender. 4. Even threatening to take it should result in sanctions.

For Jesus’ birthday this year, he’s asking for affordable housing, universal healthcare, and for people to stop using his name to explain why they’re being cruel to strangers.

Christina Pagel has been tracking actions of the administration that follow the classic populist authoritarian playbook. She writes: "As we approach the end of Trump’s first year in office, it is hard to exaggerate the loss of American democracy." https://bit.ly/3Y3tuk4

Deterrents, detention and deportation all cost far more than humane policies, where money is actually invested into communities to support everyone, including in developing infrastructure and building new housing. 9/10

Just in time for Xmas. Homeless people in Sweden selling the equivalent of 'The Big Issue' will have their income deducted from their benefits under new reforms by the right wing government. Bah humbug.
