The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs. That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK. As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

I’m currently watching a BBC programme dubbed in German on ZDF in Cyprus. That’s about as European as you can get.

Shannon is so real for that

Sat outside in the 20°c warmth with my kindle and a pot of tea. Perfect start to my holiday! #LoveCyprus

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

"Let's not forget, when we remember the service and the sacrifice with this poppy, that the people who bled and died for our democracy and our freedom, weren't just my grandfather who looked like me & worshipped the same God, but people across Empire & Commonwealth, who were Muslim, Sikh & Hindu'

Updating my LEGO White House

“Will the Prime Minister now repair the Brexit damage by negotiating a new UK-EU customs union to boost British trade and grow our economy?” Ed Davey #PMQs

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.

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation. But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

Jews in Birmingham stand against Maccabi hooligans, they feel very safe, they don't want them coming to make them feel scared.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

Something extraordinary is happening. +6000 new members in ONE SINGLE day. @greenparty.org.uk just hit 130,000 members and rising!!! Join.greenparty.org.uk

So much tear gas & flash grenades tonight at ICE in Portland. US Gestapo came out, pushed people back & held a line as other feds shot down tear gas canisters from the roof. People were dancing before this as an impromptu rave broke out

🩷 ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER 🩵 WITH ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDTRACKS EVER 🎃 (AND A HALLOWEEN MOVIE, TOO) IS NOW ON SHUDDER STOP EVERYTHING AND GO WATCH 🩸 THE GUEST 🩸 (And if you don't, at least listen to this song) youtu.be/o3XKkwET7FA?...

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you? Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18 #NoThronesNoCrownsNO_KINGS 👑

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

The Portland ICE protest camp literally has a rack full of inflatable costumes for demonstrators who want to try one on...

Mabel & I hope all our fellow Californians vote YES on Prop. 50! #FightFireWithFire

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

An experiment: If you see this post, please like it. Am comparing numbers to the other place for a piece.

Trump demonstrating once again we cannot rely on deals struck with such an unreliable dealmaker. It’s time to strengthen ties with Europe. 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 https://www.politico.eu/article/us-donald-trump-tariff-threats-punch-holes-in-uk-trade-deal/

that escalated quickly

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

Hot Ones? Absolutely! He’s the hottest thing in that room for sure.

hi all, a friend of a friend was detained by ICE at his green card interview - below is a gfm for his husband to hire an immigration lawyer. pls share & support if you're able, any little bit helps ❤️ gofund.me/cec8bd1c5

Gambling Company Owners, Landlords and Billionaires. Should all face the highest taxes in the UK. But currently they all face MUCH lower taxes than people who work or pensioners. THIS is the kind of problem that needs to be tackled.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight. Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs. What happened to the art of the deal?

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Data from the Office of National Statistics shows Londoners are less likely to be violent crime victims (26.4 offences per 1,000 pop) than the rest of England & Wales (31.9 offences). Violent crime has fallen in every London borough in the past year.

#RWC2025 #England have won the Rugby World Cup! 🥳 And in front of a sold-out Twickers crowd! If Ellie Kildunne doesn’t win BBC SPOTY I’ll be stunned. #Canada had a great tournament, they should be so proud of themselves.

AO3 is down for maintenance, my water supply is cut off due to a burst pipe, and I now have to work an extra half day tomorrow! 😩

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?
