This is the problem everywhere and it's due a reckoning.

Dear BBC. Dear CNN. Dear New York Times. The Trump administration lies all the fucking time. Hope this helps.

What a Proper Investigation of Alex Pretti's Killing Would Look Like By Julia Gegenheimer, former prosecutor in the Criminal Section of Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division

Yup. They want you to think immigrants are the problem, but that's a global strategy powered by turbo charged manipulation from above. The real problem is wealth inequality.

Thanks for this @atrupar.com. I just donated $1500, and will match an additional $1500 from others. Just reply/DM with receipt screenshots. Please help contribute to the front line against fascism in the US.

Palantir software is now the basis of the Government's fraud reporting service. So it now handles sensitive financial data for millions of UK citizens. Plus NHS data. Plus military analytics. Plus policing. And, of course, it's quite explicitly far right in its politics. What could ever go wrong?

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Dear Kier Please stop trying to be mates with a bully. You can't appease a man who wants to wage war because he didn't win a peace prize. Trump is working with Putin, Farage is working with Putin, both are making a right mug of you. Time to take a stand, babes. Suggest you do it bareback on a horse.

Claire Danes made the Department of Homeland Security look sexy in fiction, this week Kristi Noem made it look like the armed militia for a billionaire sex cult in reality. Epstein files, what Epstein files. . . This is what they mean by post truth. share.google/aVBj8OAX5kNL...

Oh, by the way Stephen Miller, most of us have evolved enough now to understand that power and force aren't the only worthy human strengths. We have many valuable strengths, and the majority of us are sick of hateful manbabies using force to get what they want. theconversation.com/stephen-mill...

The new world order will be built on the whims of 3 men, not order, truth and humanity. Until we recognise there are multiple facets to human strength that are as important to our survival as masculine strength and power, it will ever be thus. theconversation.com/donald-trump...

What a perfect capture of a nation that's gone from mocking up images of heroism to inspire, to mocking up wars for profit.

Solid and sobering. I'm not sure the upcoming US elections will be democratic though. Emotionally immature manbabies tend to want to announce their perceived cleverness, and Trump sure did bang on about rigged elections in Venezuela and the US yesterday. . . theconversation.com/trumps-new-w...

The US President is giving an update from a spa about the illegal invasion of another country and abduction of its leader. Nothing to see here. . .

Sad to see Chris Rea go. Recording a Christmas song appears to correlate with an increased risk of dying during the festive season and making your song poignant and bittersweet forever.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Bless the Muslim man who disarmed a terrorist shooter in Australia!

Lazing about with the dog on #Caturday

Thanks to a brilliant strategist. Sigh. www.authoritarian-stack.info

I'm disgusted by the Rachel Reeves stuff. This is the 3rd female cabinet member the media & the right wing online crusaders have gone after in 3 months. I have no time for this government but it's obvious what's going on. Why are we standing for this? Why is the BBC? share.google/Zi2Lb9OWszV1...

The most visible state failure is not small boats, it's wealth inequality babes. We see it in our shops, bills, and wages. Stop pretending it's about immigrants. Chris Mason: As crises pile up, can the Home Office be fixed? - BBC News share.google/EvnSMHw4CoDz...

'Get rid of the migrants or I'll become a migrant' is quite the argument

Happy Caturday/beat up the au pair day

Well said that man. www.facebook.com/share/19hBf2...

"In London, arrests were made near the Mahatma Gandhi statue in Parliament Square, where as many as 20 police vans attended. Officers moved in swiftly to arrest those holding the placards, many of whom appeared to be over the age of 60." Well this is nice. share.google/Cy41rMc3vxrt...

I love how mainstream media reports stuff like, “young people are poor bc of avocado toast,” and not “a tiny network of the super rich have conspired for decades to buy off world governments and set up offshore tax havens to evade taxes, meanwhile wages have stagnated since 1970”

Over the weekend I wrote about the import of the different way small-l liberals and right wingers use language -- transparently versus utilitarian. www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/06/s...

Finally joining the #caturday fun on here with our latest addition to the family, 10 wk old Indie. She's chatty, sassy and very much the boss of the long suffering dog already. #catsofbluesky

It's amazing the power a woman crying has on the fragile egos of the markets. Maybe it's time to start bottling our tears and sprinkling them on politicians like the witches we are. PM seeks to end speculation about Reeves' future after Commons tears - BBC News share.google/VpzZ83tp9Huo...

What the media is ignoring

Took my daughter for a milkshake at TGI Fridays & heard that as of today, the managers have opted to share in the staff tips. Managers are not on minimum wage like WWs & bar staff, they don't put in the hard graft pounding the floor &wowing guests. Maybe they'll also opt to share their bonuses.

Sadly not, or not yet, Michael Gove, Matt Hancock, Dominic Cummings and Boris Johnson.

Why don't journalists mention who is paying Blair? Can we really trust this man's word? Where's the challenge on this? Journalism is no longer about breaking a story, it's about repeating a story faithfully. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

I'm not linking to it, but that comment piece by Melanie McDonagh on ADHD in today's Evening Standard is wrong on so many levels. If you're upset by it, channel that energy into a complaint www.ipso.co.uk/making-a-com... Expect to see more of this prejudice in both press and politics too, sadly.
