Next time JD Vance lectures other countries on free speech, ask him about the French researcher who got deported from the USA because he'd sent texts criticising Donald Trump's treatment of scientists. www.lbc.co.uk/world-news/d...

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

Good to see the ICC flexing muscles, and Owen Jones’ optimism about Netanyahu next

In every atrocity in history, the silent are always principal players. Those who remain silent over Israel's genocide are enabling it to continue. Their cowardice is paid in the blood of thousands of innocent Palestinians. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A government minister was asked if he could live on £70 a week. It was while he was defending the government's onslaught against disabled people. @torstenbell.bsky.social's response was beyond belief.

Single disabled people are already four times more likely to be falling behind on their bills, six times more likely to go cold and nine times more likely to skip meals. Cuts will make things worse www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

Outside the American Embassy in London.... London rocks......✊🏼

NEW — 8 members of Congress are asking Marco Rubio for answers on the killing of American Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi. Blinken never responded to a similar letter. It's now been 194 days since Israeli forces killed her. Signed: Sens. Welch, Murray, Sanders, Merkley, Van Hollen Reps. Jayapal, Jacobs, Castro

This is not a government statement. It’s s confession. It’s all there. They are, by their own admission, directing attacks *to harm the civilian population* and seeking to destroy Palestinians in Gaza as such, by making sure that Gaza is *free of Palestinians*.

New party is needed: that truly believes in core Labour values, one that is not afraid to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes, one that doesn’t punish pensioners & disabled coz it’s too scared to stand up to super rich. More than a few Labour MPs will join if Corbyn leads!

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

Former President Jimmy Carter posthumously won his fourth Grammy Award for his audiobook "Last Sundays In Plains: A Centennial Celebration." Carter was 100 years old when he was nominated, making him the oldest nominee – and now winner – in Grammy history. Follow the Grammys live: cnn.it/3Q2lagi

“Make no mistake, what’s happening right now is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private agency operating with a broad mandate and no concerns for the stability of the United States or the interests of the average American.”

Sounds like a plan

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

Immigrants are taking all the best jobs.

Breaking News: The House gave final approval to a bill to deport migrants who enter the country without authorization and are accused of certain crimes. The bill will head to President Trump’s desk for his signature.

This asshole is: 1. Railing against someone who actually practices their faith as Jesus instructed, something he never does; 2. Railing against people who release criminals from jails when he released over a thousand just this week; and 3. Railing against refugees, when Jesus was one in Egypt.

Political donations are institutionalized bribery. Donors get access to policymakers, shape laws, tax privileges, lax regulations, govt contracts/subsidies, honours, power. Banning political donations is a necessary step for free and fair elections and democracy leftfootforward.org/2025/01/how-...

Does Trump think “windfall” is a type of windmill? (The piece he links to does not mention wind energy.)

When I look at investing in companies, if you have any level of dependency on Amazon, its a negative. I would love to have people post what percent of sales in fees from Amazon and Walmart they are experiencing And other issues. The numbers I have seen are INSANE AND UNSUSTAINABLE.

This is highly disconcerting. WaPo editors killed an editorial cartoon that mocked Bezos and other tech oligarchs. Will the Post respond to this? Democracy dies with accommodation. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

For over one year, Germany has been actively participating in the killing and dehumanization of Palestinians by providing political, financial, military, and legal support to Israel. Germany’s complicity in Israel’s atrocities must stop. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/01/open-letter-germany-must-stop…

Labour breaking yet another election pledge is one thing, but the timing of briefing this is, well, insane. The people running the country are incompetent, and it seems actually insane.

President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced on 34 counts of falsifying business records ahead of his swearing-in Jan. 20 but is not expected to face jail time. The decision to uphold Trump’s conviction almost certainly means Trump will be the first felon to serve as a U.S. president.

Tesla reported the first full-year drop in sales in its history as a public company, as increased competition and slowing demand for electric vehicles hit its results.

Most definitely...

It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm. And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight www.euronews.com/travel/2024/...

Okay, who made this? 😂😂
