This is Kupiansk today. Once a thriving town of 25,000 in Kharkiv region, now nothing but ruins and ash. Russia obliterated it. Murdered or drove out its people, and bombed it into dust.

This mendacious drivel should be a resigning issue, for both the author and anyone who thought it was right to publish it

Under what circumstances, if not those created by the last few days, would a Royal visit to the USA be cancelled? A visit will gratify a President who has delivered a gross insult to this country, and who presides over the murder of his own citizens. I mean, come on.

Protesters gathered in Bonn Square today in solidarity with protesters in Iran and calling for democracy and human rights.

ICE is just Proud Boy domestic terrorists equipped and deputized by the lawless thug in the tacky, gilded Oval Office.

Never forget that Trump said “help is on the way” on 13 January. No help has arrived and thousands of Iranians have been killed.

The Iranian regime is trying to cover up its crimes – through internet blackouts, disinformation campaigns, and repression. But it will not succeed. Today, the UN Human Rights Council convenes, at the initiative of Germany and close partners.1/2

“It is too early to judge the assortment of war criminals, dictators and autocrats who have paid a demented racist warmonger a billion pounds to be a member of his exclusive club.”

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

Pray you once more, Is not your father grown incapable Of reasonable affairs? Is he not stupid With age and alt’ring rheums? Can he speak? Hear? Know man from man? Dispute his own estate? Lies he not bed-rid? And again does nothing But what he did being childish?

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

Support Scottish artists. Not AI slop.

I'm watching the President's press conference. youtu.be/gYw81dNSMWc?...

This is absolutely shocking. What Shabana Mahmood is calling for is essentially a deeply authoritarian, "big brother” state. It is totally unacceptable, and we must resist this dystopian future. Link below 👇 The National 1/2

A guide to the US government’s flirtation with Nazi slogans and racist memes Federal departments are under fire for social media posts that reference far-right ideology & symbolism. John Mulholland makes sense of the noise and rounds up the most shocking examples www.thenerve.news/p/us-governm...

Palantir, which Wes Streeting is giving your health care records to, and which Labour has given a contract for military analytics to, is working with ICE in the United States to work out who to raid. www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

I don't normally engage with or refer to US government social media trolling, but this* is truly terrifying. It's one word away from "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" - they're not even bothering with any meaningful attempt at plausible deniability any more. *screenshot from X - not going to link

He very last act is to turn the wheels away from the ICE officer.

They shot her and then prevented a doctor from trying to save her. Meanwhile right wing commentators make out having pronouns in her bio somehow 'justifies' this. This is the organisation Badenoch wants to replicate here, while Starmer panders to the man currently painting the victim as the villain.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

You can't even illegally invade a country, kidnap its leader and seriously undermine the international rule-based order nowadays without people complaining. It's geopolitical correctness gone mad.

This is Anastasiia and her 3‑year‑old son Maksym. They were murdered by a Russian missile strike on Kharkiv on January 2

It's a busy day in Bethlehem and nobody really notices the couple who have come to be counted. As imagined by the great Pieter Bruegel.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins. It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia. The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Because our politics is in such a terrible place, I think we downplay quite how awful Kemi Badenoch has been. In any other era the leader of the Conservatives saying 'only migrants commit sex crimes - mass deportations now' would have not just been career ending but would've sunk the whole party

The UK's return to Erasmus+ in 2027 is fantastic news for young Britons & young Europeans. Erasmus+ opens up exciting opportunities to study or train abroad, boosting openness & cooperation. We're looking forward to welcoming young Britons to Germany!

you'd think that the fact the president of the united states is completely fucking insane would be a bigger news story

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.

🚨 Today, after years of police using facial recognition without proper laws or safeguards, the Home Office has finally launched a public consultation. This is our chance to have our say.

Powerful.

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Albert Bierstadt - A Storm in the Rocky Mountains (1886)

US diplomacy: We got ChatGPT to cook up a 28 point plan. 27 of them are how we screw you over. EU diplomacy: Hey, you like Lego, right?

Today, Ukrainians honor the memory of those who perished during the Holodomor — the genocide orchestrated by the USSR in 1932–1933 to crush resistance to the communist regime and to erase Ukrainians as an independent nation. 1/9

UK Labour want everyone to know that their new asylum policies, inc stealing the valuables of asylum seekers, were inspired by the Danish Social Democrats. In Denmark's local elections yesterday the Soc Dems took a hammering, losing Copenhagen for the first time in 122 years. The new mayor? Green.

"We have become the destination of choice in Europe" according to the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. Data from Eurostat & the Home Office shows the UK had the fifth largest number of claims of the EU/UK area in 2025, at 108,000... assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/691ae0...

Labourism is a disease

So, dreadful AI trash to launch 'Your Party'. Also no women to be seen. 😑

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection. Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

This video is brilliant: buff.ly/1zyTWmM Seems a total slam dunk that owners of private jets should pay fuel duties. Doesn't it? The answer is annoying. Thread:

I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament They were crooks and shysters to a man They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

"Are we the baddies?"

This is what happened to my Grandfather in Frankfurt, Germany on 9th November 1938, commonly known as Kristallnacht.

And what about those UK politicians who have served the interests of Putin's terrorist kleptocracy, in some cases for money (considerably more money than was paid to these low-level operatives)? When will we finally see the unredacted Russia Report?

President Zelenskyy: Yesterday, Russia attacked a kindergarten. The "second army in the world" fighting against Ukrainian children. This doesn't show that they want to stop this war.

Racist fearmongering propaganda in the age of AI slop. WTF Done with absolutely no subtlety. It’s just so over the top. I mean, the opening with Mamdani eating rice?!?!?!?

I just cannot take this shit seriously. If you're a senior Labour figure and think that the party's stance is cowardly but are too afraid to put your name on the record saying it YOU ARE A COWARD.
