Congresswoman AOC has introduced a bill that would ban Supreme Court Justices from accepting lavish gifts from the ultra wealthy. Love that, but what I find insane is that this isn’t already illegal.

It really guts me that the media still can't gather their tits, come to terms with how little legal standing the little turd actually has, and cut to calling it what it is. Lies. He is a criminal, and the sooner they stop candy-coating their reporting the better off we'll all be.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

And so it shall be forever henceforth.

Remember this confession…👇 Trump. Is. Pure. Projection. 😎✨

And yet, still not as stupid that those who voted for him.

He Should Be Fired Immediately and Investigated…..

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

Did you know a barrister is facing prison just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience? This historic right has existed since 1670. We can't let it be silenced in court now. Add your name to help protect Britain's juries: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

RELEASED! Those arrested in raids this morning have now being released with only one bail condition: not to upload any more videos in support of Palestine Action Isn’t that already illegal? Everyone in the UK has that condition! They have not been charged. We love you all! Here’s Rajan:

Here is my take @geoopenaccess.bsky.social rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New on Undisciplined Environments. 🌲🌍 How commons-based, community-grounded approaches to CO₂ removal might open emancipatory paths beyond market-driven, tech fixes — while still demanding emissions cuts and justice. #ClimateJustice #NegativeEmissions undisciplinedenvironments.org/2026/01/28/n...

So much asked, queried, challenged, illuminated, kicked, interrogated, delighted in and honoured at #Barcelona @pollenetwork.bsky.social #politicalecology conference this week. Am not one for heroes but it was a mind bonfire to meet @drxdunlap.bsky.social , Intellectual Cage-Rattler par excellence.

En route back from @pollenetwork.bsky.social gathering of fabulous feral political ecology minds & hearts in #Barcelona. We cannot assume ever to offer perfect answers to our wild polycrisis circumstances but politicial ecologists are definitely the ones asking the best f*cking questions.

Targets like "87% cut in emissions by 2040" are a cool trick countries like the UK employ. To general public, it sounds ambitious because it is close to 100%. In reality, it obscures more than it reveals. And current action is highly insufficient for even 2°C in line with wealthy country obligations

Right! @kevinclimate.bsky.social nailed it in 2011: "Socolow's wedges…they're the wrong way around. ...He has us starting with small reductions from the pointy ends of the wedges & progressing to…the big end. …but because we're so late…we need to get the big reductions almost immediately." 1/2

I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

We see you, orange dipstick.

Absolute this. Ancient trick to deflect. I have to say it also brings out the most repulsive side of US bombastic, lying, grandiose, ill informed and ignorant arrogance that we sooooo despise this side of the water. The world is repelled, horrified and disgusted. Bridge burned. Yours, The UK.

Would be great if all the commentators wondering if #Greenland is about security or not got their heads round the reality of investment in minerals and the unfettered building of "freedom cities" by the tech bros. Ask historians and economists and anthropologists like @jasonhickel.bsky.social

On the 20th of January, 1973, Portuguese agents assassinated Amílcar Cabral, the anti-colonial revolutionary who led the struggle to liberate Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. "Either we admit that there really is a struggle against imperialism which interests everybody, or we deny it."

“He Can’t Do That” Is a Hope, Not a Strategy open.substack.com/pub/steadyst... "The question is are we prepared to respond when [Constitutional] limits are tested, ignored, or broken. History suggests that waiting until the law is fully cast aside is always too late."

Listen to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canada...our great ally Who has had ENOUGH "WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A RUPTURE " #Davos

Mark Carney takes the sign out of the window. A brave and powerful speech, calling for middle powers to stop appeasing and pretending this is business as usual - and start building new alliances. I think this is the speech - and the PM - that a lot of Canadians have been waiting for. #cdnpoli #Davos

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them: "We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be." "What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

Ooohhhh my. Unhinged. Disrespect. Lying. Just wildly, insanely wrong. Who does this dysfunctional bigoted braggart belong to? Take him home and have a word. He is chatting some industrial grade shit here. #davos

Ok. He's at the podium at the White House. What is he talking about?? He is just making shit up. Proper making shit up. In England, we say he is talking bollocks. Absolute bollocks. Someone. Stop. Him. Give him a comfy chair, a hot water bottle and a nice cheese sandwich. @altcdc.altgov.info

So... yeah. Exactly what ICE is doing then.

Of course. There never has been. This is an utterly personal dysfunction of destruction, aided in the background by cronies who want to both hide behind and instrumentalise his madness to carry them as far as possible to the right before they take over.

This is a very scary thread, but now that everything's all right, I think it's everyone's duty to convince this person they never actually woke up.

"We are watching one of the wildest things a nation state has ever done. A super power is dying by suicide because the Republican Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest momements in geopolitics ever." - Journalist Garrett Graff

🇩🇰🇺🇸#BREAKING DANISH PENSION FUND AKADEMIKERPENSION TO EXIT US TREASURIES

Good morning. A winter safety reminder: as temperatures and windchills plunge, it’s important to stay warm and dry if you’re outdoors. Also, water balloons are an effective means of ICE removal in Minneapolis in January.

"A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart." -- Luke 6:45

I would also not suggest super soakers.

It's long past time for our leaders, at all levels, to do what is right instead of what is safe for their careers and their donors.
