How to change the world from your little place in it? *** Speak about your passions a little. Do what you’re scared of a little. Challenge your tribe a little. Pause before you react a little. Believe that everyone is struggling a little. Spread hope a little. Love yourself at least a little.

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

London has landed in the top ten greenest cities on the planet 🌱 Not bad for a city that never sits still. We’re delivering cleaner transport and more green spaces, with even more to come.

Britain has not expelled Tehran's ambassador. Not closed down the Ayatollah's London office. Not applied maximum sanctions. Not proscribed the IRGC. Shameful. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk Would you please question the Government on their intention? Thank you 🙏🏼

For decades, the US has benefited enormously, because we all trusted the US as the benevolent hegemon, but idiot Trump has ended that trust. Then the many questions arise from Europe: 1. Should we accept the dominance of poisonous US social networks? No! Laws are needed! /1

It’s a continuation of the failed privatised water industry in the vain hope that new regulatory involvement will make everything better. Wil Harvey reports eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

EPSTEIN: The 3 mill page document dump might seem large but it still is only half of the 6mill page documents held by the DoJ. This matters. documents have been released claiming that Bill Gates caught STDs from Russian girls and that he intended to ply his wife, Melinda, with antibiotics secretly

I fully support this call to refocus the UK back to its key national priority: enriching me and @samuelmarclowe.bsky.social, and me and Sam only.

god yes. but also can we ban Private Equity from owning vets?

Imagine being so corrupt and authoritarian even Sepp Blatter thinks you've gone too far. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Noem is certainly indirectly responsible for these slayings. But she compounded that guilt with actions for which she is directly, individually responsible: Viciously slandering the victims as terrorists, not just in advance of the evidence, but in brazen contradiction of all available evidence.

Start your clocks.

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all; her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity. How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Now the lies from the regime in USA are not only being exposed but there are attempts to walk back from them! open.substack.com/pub/americam...

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

We know that famous American ideal, where the government has a right to shoot you dead because of “rhetoric.”

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

Walz: "I don't care if you are conservative are flying a Donald Trump flag, a libertarian 'Don't Treat on Me,' a Democratic Socialist -- this an inflection point. If we cannot all agree that the smearing of a citizen and besmirching everything they stood for -- someone has to be accountable."

I see something like this and my brain immediately goes to the over/under days until DHS/ICE shoot a state LEO

That’s not even close to an apology. And besides, Denmark lost more people per head of the population than *any* other country in Afghanistan. The obviousness of his contempt for crucial alliances matches the obviousness of his contempt for the truth.

@jollygoodginger.bsky.social please CIRCULATE WIDELY. He speaks of Will. That's another veteran who made great sacrifices IN SERVICE TO OUR NATION. Both of these guys. Calling all #Veterans. These are people still keeping their oath to uphold the Constitution www.facebook.com/share/v/1aYZ...

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

The last two weeks felt like a year. Two massive attacks that left Kyiv cold and dark. We switched to survival mode. I’ve just realized I hardly read or learned anything in these two weeks that felt like a year. Wow. Survival mode put my curiosity into a cave.

Kyiv is under heavy attack. Windows and walls are shaking. No water. No electricity. I don’t know how long the world can just watch.

Greetings from Kyiv, where power came back early this evening (not at night, as usual). Such a joy to wash my hair not at midnight. Just sharing this so you don’t take anything for granted. Now, time for a warcoffee. Blessed small things.

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment. That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant. Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...
