Stately homes, pubs and theatres have commodified their phantoms. Turned them into neat little stories, spectre-magnets to draw in visitors with ache for ghost-glimpse. Then there are the places where shades and their stories are feral. Unowned, uncurated spots. I hold to these. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

‼️USA: “Treasury Sanctions Major Russian Oil Companies, Calls on Moscow to Immediately Agree to Ceasefire” 🥳 home.treasury.gov/news/press-r...

⚡️The US calls on Russia to immediately cease fire and begin genuine negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, according to the US Treasury Department. It has also been revealed that new, powerful US sanctions against Russia target Rosneft and Lukoil.

Last evening I posted about Ukrainian defenders striking an oil refinery in Dagestan in the Russian Federation. This morning I posted about Russian invaders attacking a kindergarten in Kharkiv in Ukraine. Anyone who talks about "both sides" in this war is a moral degenerate.

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home. I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

I am so sorry, America. 🇺🇸 Seriously I am. I’m so sorry for the real Real Americans, who reject the far right fashness of it all. Into the abyss with all you’re suffering from. I know, I know, that and $10 might get you a half-decent cup of coffee. May you have the beverage of your choice too.

Despite Russia's multi-billion dollar propaganda blitz on the UK, 72% of Brits say Ukraine must win.

A new history of the circumstances leading to the Great Depression sheds light on the systemic dangers we face today—particularly how Donald Trump represents the ultimate capture of American finance, Evan Hughes argues.

I will not to entertain these made up stories that DJT didn’t not tell Zelenskyy to accept Putin’s terms. We had enough sources telling the exact same story of cursing, throwing around the maps Ukrainian delegation brought in and telling Ze that he has to give up Donbas or Putin destroys him.

REPOST if you stand with President Zelenskyy! #StandingWithZelenskyy #StandingWithUkraine 🇺🇦💙💛💙🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraïni

The ragged edge of the salt marsh is a place of rumour. Mud is scoured for monstrous prints. Augury murmurs from a hundred tidal pools where the sky is trapped as well water. This is a place where folklore not only resides, but reigns. – #DAKilroy, 1982 #LandscapePunk

A wet Sunday night in London and I did think twice about going out, but so glad I did. This was a treat, great songs and anecdotes, Marrakech Express, Our House, a great rock n roll version of Woodstock and the poignant Find the Cost of Freedom. Thank you for the music Graham.

Colombia: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters” “Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing.” “The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.”

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s. 📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.

If you make more than $360,000 annually, congratulations. The GOP has given you a tax cut. If you make less than that amount, tough luck for you.

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

America doesn’t have a king. But Donald Trump acts like one: Ignoring the Constitution, detaining citizens without due process, and attacking the rule of law. — That’s what “No Kings Day” protest is about. No wonder Trump is terrified of this. Let’s go!
