I also have a wish. It would be lovely if for just one day, we weren’t continually reminded of the cuntishness of #ToddlerTrump. 👇

Yaghi, who grew up in a refugee community in Jordan” invents a Green machine for drawing water from air that will result in 1,000 litres of water a day. Just how amazing is that. Yet political parties continue to perceive migrants as less than human www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."

Kirsty Coventry, the woman that would have allowed South Africa to compete at the Olympics during the worst of Apartheid. If anybody should be sacked (rather than members of her PR team), I have an idea.

So, you can rape trafficked girls and women without any criminal investigation but goddess forfend that you send an email about investment opportunities. I think our priorities are somewhat skewed.

What an earth is the hideous Garage doing on #Radio4 *again*. He and his party have 0.6% of MPs. While it is the rightwing Nick Robinson, #BBC will you just finish your live affair with someone who will take us into fascism.

“I’ve never seen federal agents so out of control and acting in such a malicious manner,” a former federal prosecutor and federal judge said. “They said they were going after ‘the worst of the worst,’ then they became the problem. Read this by @jonschuppe.bsky.social & @natashakorecki.bsky.social

The orange tyrd is ramping up the fascist playbook. Control the media (Musk, Bezos), control the judiciary. It's all just so awful. 👇

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

“This is about right versus wrong”. How delightful. Old fashioned perhaps (the orange tyrd’s lies and the shenanigans of politicians have changed the moral landscape) but more of this please. 👇

A reminder to the media and others trying to claim this Government and Starmer are worse than anything they've ever seen, a Government which has only been in power for 19 months. Here's a handly list of the scandals we had to endure from the Tories between 2011-2024.

Apparently in The Times spread yesterday, Mandelson stated his troubles were like a ‘05.30 drive-by shooting’. Women and girls were trafficked, raped and abused but of course, it’s Mandelson who is the victim. So many of these powerful men playing the victim card. Sickening.

This is simply terrifying. The State of Florida has banned so many books that teaching Sociology becomes impossible. That the #US is banning democracy and thought is heinous. 👇

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Lord, run out of coffee.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

In 1960, Ruby Bridges walked into an empty school to change the world. 🕊️ Despite her father losing his job, her grandparents being evicted, and every teacher but one refusing to instruct her, Ruby stayed. She turned a year of isolation into a lifetime of activism.

All these powerful men denying abuse of girls and trafficked women. In the immortal words if Christine Keeler, ‘Well, he would say that wouldn’t he’. Bastards.

Really quite sad to see that #Chomsky's 'political activism' didn't extend to abused and trafficked women.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

One word. Tuskegee (1932 to 1972). For those that don’t know, do look it up. While #ToddlerTrump drags the #US to be a fascist state, his appointee’s are seemingly taking a leaf from prior illegal studies. 👇

Tom Emmer lies about his own constituents: "If you go to my state, the pictures you're seeing of these mobs in Minneapolis, these are paid agitators and protesters. Yeah, you got some Minnesotan anarchists that are in there, but they are people coming from outside our state."

Carrot, roasted pepper and tomato (garlic, ginger, bit of coriander, thyme) soup tonight. Not bad at all.

1/ This pause is obviously concerning to researchers & universities & I’d like to specifically register the point that if the reason of ‘aligning with national priorities’ means more policy-driven & less free ideas-driven research then this move is of even more concern. www.msn.com/en-in/politi...

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

I sincerely hope NH library workers have found a way to avoid keeping records altogether because you can't share what doesn't exist and children deserve privacy and safe access to information just as much as any adult does. newhampshirebulletin.com/briefs/new-l...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Minneapolis ICE watchers face violence, teargas and arrests. They keep showing up Bystanders say they are determined to keep recording federal agents’ actions: ‘There will be absolutely no accountability unless people are documenting’

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

"Trump has had terrible bruises on the tops of his hands and even more terrible excuses for why they keep appearing. Aspirin, Swiss furniture, shaking lots of hands – the list of things that aren’t cannula sites grows longer every week" 😂 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just realised that it's past five o'clock and, it's *still* light 🙂or, at least lightish. Anyway, its not dark out there.

#ToddlerTrump seems to be having a bad afternoon. Perhaps he hasn't had his in-meeting naps.

What is happening in United States is what happens when coercive powers of the state - arrest, detention, charges - are used as ends in themselves, and not as means of serving justice. They know the arrests and charges will not stick, but they don’t care. Intimidation, like cruelty, is the point.

So, along with all the Nazi-borrowed fascist actions that the #US (or #ToddlerTrump) is taking, including Gleichschaltung (closing down, taking over or, buying anti-Trump newspapers, Bezos or TikTok anyone); the regime is now arresting journalists. 👇 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"The chief federal judge in Minnesota excoriated ICE saying it had violated nearly 100 court orders and had disobeyed more judicial directives in January alone than “some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

Interesting application of the word 'theatre' by Homan. A word in this context that can only befollowed by 'of war'. They hate anyone that isn't them. They will continue to destroy people and communities and, they'll laugh about it.

"Arrest as many people that touch you - everyone fucking gets it if they touch you" "It's all about us, not them" "This is our fucking city". What a nasty evil little nazi cunt this man is. 👇

What I find so incredibly jaw dropping is that four out of 10 questioned, approve of #ToddlerTrump. 👇

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

I'm proud to live in #Derry~Londonderry. The two cinemas in Derry , one in Coleraine and, Maghera aren't even bothering to screen #Melania.

WIth the state-enacted murders in #Minneapolis, I've been looking at the GOP representives across that City. While all seem weird, the postings of #TomEmmer descend into danger. With all the evidence of Alex Pretti's killing, #TomEmmer is calling people 'asinine' for believing their own eyes.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

🚨 Following the murder of protesters and widespread arbitrary detentions in the USA, ICE cannot be allowed in Europe. We are calling for an immediate travel ban on all ICE agents. This is now urgent following reports ICE will police the Winter Olympics in Italy 🚨

Excellent on the howling unsuitability of Matt Goodwin to be a Manchester MP… or indeed an MP anywhere at all. But that’s Reform for you. Frothing racists and needy inadequates demanding support from a voting public that doesn’t deserve any of their shit. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Rest assured that Reform will NEVER work with Tories. Apart from Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries, Danny Kruger, Andrea Jenkyns, Jonathan Gullis, Sarah Pochin, Jake Berry, Marco Longhi, Peter Bone, Robert Jenrick, Andrew Rosindell, Suella Braverman…

"Last year, Bovino was reprimanded by a federal judge for lying to the court". What I don't understand is that perjury (lying to the court), is an indictable offence (UK), punishable by up to 7 years in prison. So why isn't this tiny fascist in prison? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

doubling down on this

Cruella arguing she didn’t believe in the Conservative govt when Home Secretary of that gov is simply laughable. Being a politician *should* be a place of service. Those joining the fascist party are simply demonstrating their own personal ambition.
