Useful intervention from Poland's (UK friendly) Foreign Minister in two parts at least - to not expect any special deals if rejoining the EU becomes an option, and for politicians to understand more fundamentally about what the EU means. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

This Reddit post is formatted like a joke but it’s actually a very dry recitation - at times, direct quotes - of America’s public war strategy over the last month. This can’t go on. This is deranged. Impeach and imprison.

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Who can possibly know why Europe has been so clear about rejecting Trump's invitation to participate in his murderous illegal war that is already costing all them £billions? #r4today bsky.app/profile/prof...

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

Here I am… X is not a healthy place to be!!

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

Does the bombing of Venezuela and kidnapping of its president respect international law & the UN charter? Asking for Canada and Greenland.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Apparently it can always get worse. The full version of the new U.S. National Security Strategy, aptly named “NSC-1488” by the wags, calls for actively pulling Poland, Austria, Hungary and Italy from the #EU. And supporting far right. US sides with Putin. notesfrompoland.com/2025/12/10/f...

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

There have been 4 million articles written about the alienation of young men by "the left," but I've never seen one article about the alienation of women from the right. It apparently doesn't matter to the press that women are regularly voting for Dems by huge margins because the GOP is so hostile.

🚨🚨 Belgian court convicts two for EU funds misuse linked to #NigelFarage's Brexit group. Great report by @elisabraun.bsky.social on a decade-long probe into alleged misuse of EU funds by associates of top #Brexit campaigner. www.euractiv.com/news/belgian...

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

What he said: 💯 🎯

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

🚨1000 authoritarian actions. 7 months🚨 I've been tracking Trump's authoritarian actions. From dismantling democratic institutions to militarising immigration enforcement, Trump is reshaping America. In my new post I highlight key authoriarian attacks christinapagel.substack.com/p/grand-desi... 1/2

There will come a day when many elected officials wonder why they did not do more to counter the reckless actions of this immoral and lawless administration. I will not be among them. www.mlive.com/politics/202...

The Greenland ice cap is losing around 30 MILLION tonnes of ice an hour due to the climate crisis - 20% MORE than what scientists originally thought. No time to waste. Stopfossifuels. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

And don't forget: there's also a new episode of Podyssey for your Sunday delectation. "Does the teller of myth exist in that liminal space? By spending so much time in that quantum where fact does not matter, by pouring so much truth into the work, does some fiction inevitably splash back at them?"

The real crisis isn’t the budget. It’s that the UK is smaller, older, poorer, sicker, more indebted and less productive than it wants to admit. #Labour #UKPolitics @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Worse. Making enforcement of EU laws subject to political expediency is a flagrant violation of the EU Treaties. The @ec.europa.eu has a Treaty obligation to enforce the law. It is not optional.

Striking stat from @kellycnbc.bsky.social on this: The rise in treasury yields since Trump’s tariffs were announced leads to an increase in US debt interest payments that is larger than all the DOGE savings.

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days. Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House. It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

The Trump presidency is deeply embarrassing. Today, he and JD Vance, went to new lows in attacking president Zelenskyy – a true war hero. Trump and Vance looked weak. Absent their positions they are weak. Today we witnessed way beyond Nixonian abuses of power. It was Hilterian.

The richest man in the world has parasitically imposed himself on the federal government to insist that all employees generate content for his language-processing machine, conscripted the administrative state as monkeys at typewriters, all under penalty of dismissal should they refuse.

From today, we will no longer be posting regularly on Twitter/X. Instead, we will focus our social media activities here, on Bluesky, where we have been active since last year. Please encourage colleagues and friends to follow us here!

Boris Pistorius reagiert spontan auf die Rede von Vance: "Das ist nicht akzeptabel." Lange Applaus.

US taxpayers funded these data. They belong to the public. The government is not empowered to arbitrarily decide whether the public has a right to it.

Elon Musk, "If there's going to be fraud, it should at least go to Americans"

This sad, petty man and his sad, petty bullshit…

Trump isn’t even talking. Musk is doing all the talking.
