Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Oceania? Eurasia? Eastasia?

The US is more likely to fight Europe than fight for it.

Quick update for US media: the story is not about Maduro or what’s going on in Venezuela. It’s about the massive rupture in US history where the country now stands for invading and occupying any country it likes. Trump in his press conference made it very clear this is a new age. Did you miss that?

My breaking news update for @lbc.co.uk on Trump's compeltely unhinged press conference claiming the US is now governing Venezela. With Ranvir Singh anchoring. 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/882583...

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

WATCH: MSF Executive Director @sana.msf.ca speaks to CTV about vital humanitarian activities in #Palestine at risk from Israeli registration rules. MSF provides a vast amount of life-saving healthcare, yet even this is not enough to meet the overwhelming needs of people in #Gaza.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Jeffrey Epstein & David Walliams leading all the bulletins but Kemi Badenoch knows that only men from ‘different cultures’ pose a threat to women.

I think there's a R word we aren't using *enough*

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts. Completely, terrifyingly innocent. And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial. Politicians would do well to remember this when they tell us that justice is all about processing “criminals” swiftly.

“The claim that this is a recent invention born of political bias is categorically untrue.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social reveals that Peter Ettedgui made identical accusations against Nigel Farage in private six years ago.

Incredibly, they seem to think that how good Rachel Reeves was at chess during her school days is more relevant today than how racist Nigel Farage was during his

The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities By me, for @theleaduk.bsky.social national.thelead.uk/p/new-asylum...

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

JFC. How much worse can this government's approach to human beings get?

Labour MP Brian Leishman: "The Government has surrendered to... the vile rhetoric of Reform. Does the Home Secretary not see that removing the legal obligation to support asylum seekers who will be otherwise destitute, is as far away from Labour Party principles and values as we can get?"

Tip for the Labour Party. If you have to clarify asylum seekers’ wedding rings won’t be seized, your policy is horrific. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people. How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Mayor Khan rejecting the racist undertones (and sometimes overtones) of the rhetorical attacks on London today. It remains a fantastic city and it's safer in many ways than it has been for decades. The fact it's led by a liberal Muslim means parts of the Right simply cannot accept it succeeding.

“it’s important that we send a...clear signal to those people who are ...looking to get on a boat in the north of France: this is not a journey worth making.” They're risking their lives already. I struggle to see how these rules changes will alter that calculation www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The UK has lost its soul. Its compassion, its sobriety. We are being moulded in the image of an orange hued fascist dictator in America. Attacking asylum seekers. Denouncing immigration and supporting racist bigotry in the name of governance NOT IN MY NAME

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform. Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

Why all the talk about leadership challenges misses the point that the biggest problem facing this Government is not just a lack of leadership but a lack of clear ideas about what a Labour Government is actually for Until that changes, the question of who sits in No 10 will remain a hollow one.

How did those presenters keep a straight face

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Trump has executed six more civilians in a small boat. The death toll now stands at 76.

If you want to sustain your carefully-cultivated fury at the stupid Panorama edit then don’t, whatever you do, read or listen to Trump’s speech in its entirety…

The impossible dream some people on the British right are chasing is that you can have a BBC News operation that retreats from detail and expertise, that takes dictation from the government, but this will only create incompetence and failure when it suits you:
