“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.

The Gun Violence Archive (GVA) www.gunviolencearchive.org/charts-and-m... seems like a useful resource in this regard e.g.

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

30 percent still got these on...

"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.

Listen to this success story! 💙 It's a decade since Syrian refugees arrived in Germany. Today, they're an indispensable part of the German workforce – especially in medicine! This is what the media SHOULD be showing you, instead of constantly pandering to the racists who just spread doom and gloom.

One of the ALL TIME BEST Ukrainian military missions will go down in history as the biggest single blow dealt to Russia. Congratulations to the Ukrainian commanders & the brave clandestine troops operating far behind the front lines. A tremendous victory ! youtu.be/c853LHyLhHA?...

#Harvard No.

Perhaps, the best depiction of so-called 'robber barons' by Bernhard Gillam (1883) 'The Protectors Of Our Industries' www.loc.gov/pictures/ite... It's worth reflecting that in Trump's "Golden age of America" 2.0. it's the rest of us (MAGAs included) holding up his #Broligarchy

As @rbreich.bsky.social explains, Trump's promise of a 'return' to the "Golden Age" of prosperity is seemingly a return to the robber barons (extreme poverty, labour exploitation etc.) of the "Gilded Age" @inequalitymedia.bsky.social / www.inequalitymedia.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgUu...

Is this bad? It’s bad, yeah?

‪Thanks for this article Jeffrey - it has left me more curious than I was before. The discussion reminds me a bit of Lyotard's distinction between innovation and experimentation (highlighted below) + his points about "legitimation by performativity" (and presumably, something about valorisation).

Oakshott is a grifter, pushing US disaster capitalism onto the UK whilst waving a 🇬🇧 & living in Dubai. Legatum HQ is also in Dubai.

"2. Don’t watch Peta Credlin, especially. Sky News still resembles a news channel during the day. It is when the sun goes down and Credlin and her friends come on air that the joint turns batshit crazy. If you really must watch Sky News, turn off the telly at 6pm."

Couldn’t agree more @borowitzreport.bsky.social Remember Trump's promise: "'Starting on Day 1, we will end inflation and make America affordable again,' he said at a rally in Montana, where he told supporters: 'This election is about saving our economy.'" abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...
