This is (*checks notes*) after a Federal District Judge ordered them not to use chemical weapons on observers. ICE is a collection of lawless, cruel, racist thugs. Defund them, and prohibit their non-elected federal employment for the next 20 years.

Lawyers for a group of prisoners whose death sentences were commuted by President Biden allege that the Trump administration is now seeking to imprison them “in the most oppressive conditions in the entire federal prison system.”

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

I'm just saying "the Northern Lights" appearing in Ireland so often and ChatGPT arrived at the same time. 🤔

- We don't want that either, but you're forcing our hand - As a result USA will have no major allies, no military reach, no info sharing, a hugely reduced market, and fall behind on tech - WE DON'T WANT THAT. YOU ARE FORCING OUR HAND - Or... stop being dicks. It's up to you. 4/5

Suggested EU response: - US airbases now represent an armed presence, inside our borders, of a nation that is openly threatening to invade our territory - Withdraw the threat or we have no choice but to close those bases - This turns USA from a global power to a regional one, overnight 1/5

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

On @arstechnica.com at the moment there is a niche story about a hosting company hiking email costs 500%, but the top two scored comments are about what the definition of brownshirt is actually.

Are you fucking kidding me

Very upset to find the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon just abandoned in a field like this.

I still don't understand why there are no seatbelts on buses and trains

"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace" - Tolstoy brainstorming a new opening for his book.

This is the thing isn't it? Can you imagine any other Taoiseach in our history saying "I accept these people are publishing CSAM but I will continue to avail of their services" out loud for everybody to hear

Simultaneously confused that it is already the 19th of January, and that it is only the 19th of January.

Widespread protests in Iran, Venezuela’s President captured and claims of a rigged election in Uganda. Lindsey Hilsum considers what history tells us about how repressive regimes fall. 📩 Read the latest newsletter here:

If you didn’t draw a line at the genocide itself, then why would you draw one at monetising it

Since 2020 the world's billionaires have accumulated enough additional wealth to end global poverty 26 times over. This inequality is staggering and utterly outrageous. We urgently need national & global action to reverse this & address the distortion of politics caused by extreme wealth.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Do you know what your roofer, home builder, or yard guy does on the weekends?

The neo-fascist group Patriot Front is building a network of businesses in North Texas in an attempt to create a parallel, self-sufficient white nationalist economy. The Observer identified the men behind 4 of these companies.

There is simply no world in which this clothing choice is a coincidence.

I should like to leave this world now please.

Video shows the emotional moment a Palestinian girl reunited with her father after more than a year. Anas Jallamneh was arrested in December 2024 in the village of Deir Ghazaleh in the occupied West Bank after Israeli forces raided his home.

These editors have a lot to answer for. New analysis from Climate Brief suggests UK newspaper editorials opposing action on climate change outweigh those supporting action on the issue for the first time since at least 2011. pressgazette.co.uk/media-audien...

he's a fucking nutter. It's like watching someone smear shit on the walls and everyone around him is praising him as the next Van Gogh. Absolutely deranged

Where are the trees? We have A LOT of this landscape and less than 4% native woodland. This should be a rich mosaic of habitats, moor, bog, woodland, montane scrub…We force it to remain in this artificial state. We don’t need to give every inch of our uplands over to sheep, grouse and deer stalking.

In case there’s anyone out there that’s still unclear…TARIFFS ARE A TAX ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!

Oh.

I will repost this picture every time I see it because if there’s one thing the timeline ALWAYS needs it’s a little bit of dreamboat.

I don't like the Lib Dems. Usually I find them incredibly embarrassing, so it's very weird that this is how I'm feeling: Ed Davey is making the most sense at the moment regarding the Trump-Putin vs The World situation. But that's just freaky, so Zack Polanski better pull it out of the bag

Billionaire wealth jumps to highest ever at $18.3 trillion, up 16% in 2025, up 81% since 2020 Half the world lives in poverty. Billionaires are 4,000 times more likely to hold political office than normal people. Richest 56 Britons hold more wealth than 27m. Concentration of wealth is a danger.

I occasionally think of the completely unhinged response to David Cameron's comments during the EU referendum about how the prevailing European security architecture shouldn't be taken for granted.

‘Isn’t the problem fundamentally that you’ve been too soft on Trump’ the media asks our prime minister this morning. He looks like a rabbit in the headlights.

watching Starmer deal with Trump is like watching Jake Paul hug AJs legs for 5 rounds again. he's completely out of his depth :/

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided. When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid. The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe. It's time for a rethink.

A disturbing thing about Starmer's news conference is seeing GBNews treated as a credible news organisation and being invited to ask a question before Channel 4 News

This speech should have been a press release. I know they wanted some emollient video for the King in Orange to watch with his Lucky Charms over breakfast but the questions are really starting to expose the lack of thinking done by Number 10 so far. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

I believe that 'verbal assaults' are what some on the right refer to as 'hurty words'

Ultimately, corporations are about privatizing profits and socializing losses. If we want to do something about climate change, governments have to step up.

First Musk embraced the global hard right and now, by failing to limit images of child sexual abuse on X, he has added child abusers to his list of fellow travellers ✏️ @jamesrball.com

Keir Starmer: "In the Middle East we welcome Trumps focus on sustaining the ceasefire in Gaza & moving on to phase 2" What ceasefire? Israel continues killing Palestinians, both with bullets and bombs (over 450 killed) and through the denial of much needed supplies & shelters.
