A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

De Niro: It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent—no one, no one voted for new wars. No one voted for higher prices at the pump. No one voted for higher prices in grocery stores, and no one voted for government-masked thugs shooting down our citizens in the streets.

Our phones, our f-ing doorbells, the supermarket, cameras in parking lots & cameras on the street are all tracking our movements and our identities. ICE now has software that tracks billions of social media posts & images & software that taps into the DMV, IRS & Social Security to identify us.

I can sort of understand people treating climate breakdown as a distant, peripheral issue when they thought it was just a future threat to polar bears and Pacific Islands But we're seeing these sorts of warnings all the time now, and little seems to have changed

In 2020 Nigel Farage said of MPs who defect & refuse a by-election “it’s not right, it’s dishonorable” Giving voters the right to have a say on an MPs defection is vital to restoring trust in our politics - and isn’t that exactly what the government has pledged to do?

Dat Trump in de zak van Poetin zit lijkt steeds waarschijnlijker, dat Poetin 'Kompromat' heeft die de smoking gun is, is niet onwaarschijnlijk.

Mr. President, please lead by example

It’s really simple… - Cap all political donations - Ban foreign donations - Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties - No titles, honours or peerages for donors - No govt contracts for donors - Publish every donation/lobby meeting …that’ll do it.

Absolute genius.

“Empathy and compassion are evolved states of being… Over my years in politics and business, I have found one thing to be universally true: The kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov @jbpritzker.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/ifin... #KindnessMatters

Brother Warnock lays it plain.

This is great stuff from Labour! Transformative policies put into action for military homes following years of neglect. Never again say the Tories stand up for our forces. They failed to act for 14 years. Only Labour will deliver these plans in full & give our forces the homes they deserve.

This is so good. I can just imagine his concentration as he 'names' the animals.

"arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness" @kornetzke.bsky.social

Love the retort Wanda @iamwandasykes.bsky.social 👍

Mariella Frostrup: "I just don't know when we started dehumanising people to the extent that we do. I find it quite shocking ...I think it's a shame that we allow Reform to set the tone and the agenda in the way we talk about illegal immigrants an asylum seekers" #bbcqt #r4today #RefugeesWelcome

Great characterisation @dbarkhuff.bsky.social "the modern MAGA movement, with all its bluster about toughness, patriotism, and warrior virtue, has become a costume party of masculinity."

It's good to see that The Express' poll is reflecting the truth i.e. that *Yes* - "Rachel Reeves is right to blame Brexit for state of UK economy". xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

"This is such a remarkable book, albeit one that I approached a little warily. ...Craig wisely uses his work and its evolution to tell the human story of one of our greatest creative eccentrics, a true, determined and driven original..." @craigrobertson.bsky.social

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations. The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel). "The party of small government,” folks.

Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan responds, "President Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic and he is Islamophobic" "Since records began there hasn't been a period where more Americans have come to London, there has to be a reason for that"

The British public just crowdfunded the WORLD’S BIGGEST PHOTO of Donald with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein😂

Now Gibraltar has won its way back into Schengen and a customs deal with more access than before Brexit, while the rest of us are stuck with queues, red tape and decline. And where’s the UK press? Silent. Once again it’s Washington Post exposing Brexit. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Thanks. This @cnn.com article seems to provide some useful additional context about the Edward Sferrazza / 9/11 Media Preservation Group video: edition.cnn.com/2025/09/11/u...

I like what you're doing there Taj. I've only seen your trailer but look forward to watching the whole series: www.theguardian.com/news/series/... + www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Keep up the good work. :-)

"That was when I told him that we had a revolution against people like him, and I certainly trust the the wisdom and good sense of the the people of UK not to put somebody like that in office." @raskin.house.gov Let's hope that Raskin remains correct in his evaluation through to the next election...

Jezze, I like Jamie Raskin raskin.house.gov/about

Resident doctors are being exploited. They’re working 70 or 80 hours a week and trying to pay off student debts with totally inadequate salaries. The good news is that they are forming unions and fighting back. I stand with them.

Debunking the spurious claim that "Guns Don't Kill People, People Kill People": www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtua...

It's known as 'instrumentalism' - that guns are simply 'tools' - like any other tool... But of course, this explanation ignores a fundamental fact - guns, unlike all other tools - are explicitly intended for killing and maiming. And so, guns aren't in fact simply 'a tool' they a device for killing.
