Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza. On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025. #Infograph

Spotted in Nashville this week…

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

🤷🏼

BREAKING: Footage that has just confirmed that TRUMP LIED and it was a US Tomahawk missile that hit the girls’ in southern Iran killing 180 people, most of which were children. The fact that Trump has blatantly lied about this should have every single American questioning why he lied to us all.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.” They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet. It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

Something really dark when 12 year old comes home from school and says ‘I think world war three is going to start, everyone at school is saying it’

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

I must apologise for Richard Stupid Tice not understanding that no gas or oil is ‘our own’ because Maggie Thatcher sold it off, so it is all sold by private companies on the global market. Norway did not sell theirs off and now have a sovereign wealth fund of £1.6trillion.

I may have my frustrations and disappointments about Starmer as a domestic politician, but internationally, I think he’s serious, responsible and trying to do his best for U.K. in unbelievably complex int’l environment, despite treasonous ghouls like Farage doing their best to undermine him.

Trump and Netanyahu have been funnelling weapons to Kurdish volunteers in Western Iran for months. They’re expected to begin an armed uprising in days, ITV reports.

Is anyone surprised?

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran. Unreal.

I'd like to personally apologise to Nigel Farage for this post. According to the Guardian he Farage reportedly travelled by private jet to the Maldives where he spent just over a day before heading back to the UK. So no business class seats were bought. So sorry.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

This is a massive shift which would upend the lives of millions - not just the nearly half million directly threatened but their families. It would abandon a basic principle of law that changes are not retrospectively applied.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals. That amounts to $456,621 per hour. But how are you doing?

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Young people did not have a say in the Brexit referendum but have to live with the consequences. It's not surprising that a staggering majority of them would want to rejoin the EU. https://www.itv.com/news/2026-02-19/over-80-of-16-to-24-year-olds-would-vote-to-rejoin-the-eu-itv-poll-finds

America gave up kings 250 years ago and adopted a system in which “no one is above the law.” But presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. The legacy of the John Roberts Supreme Court.

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.” When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK? www.jewishnews.co.uk/reform-uk-su...

Reform is soft on Russia. And it's stuff like this which explains why 👇🏻

We can’t trust anything coming out of this administration. It’s getting tiresome.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

Grift, grift “Tommy is looking into relocating his family for their safety. Please can you help with this, and any ongoing security costs.” A web address to donate then appears across the bottom of the screen.” Of course it does

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

"There are plenty of reasons why Trump’s job performance is polling on par with the less glamorous STDs. One reason is thatthe Trump administration is committed to its increasingly unpopular programs of ethnic cleansing and murder. Also: it’s the economy, you stupid fascist." First Draft today:

“We will back you. We will defend you. We will fight with you in this new era of threat and hard power” Defence Secretary John Healey has a clear message for #NATO Allies as he arrives in Brussels

Look! "News of a potential immigrant detention center in Kansas City sparked fierce public backlash over the past month. At rallies and protests, many people called on Platform Ventures to not sell the building to the federal government..." And now: www.kcur.org/news/2026-02...

When Pam Bondi was Florida's Attorney General, and was busy ignoring Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, much like now, she took a $25,000 bribe from Donald Trump to drop her investigation into consumer fraud at Trump University. Donald knew she'd be a corrupt US AG and do as she was told.

Struggling to find the words to describe the utter reckless vandalism of this sickening move - deliberately making millions of people sicker & less secure in order to enrich billionaire polluters

"I used to snort cocaine off toilet seats." Republican Americans must be soooooo proud...

I only met Matt once and he was on his way to meet Liz Truss's team in No 10 to advise them....

"Whites are a rapidly dying minority,” Elon Musk posted on 22nd January. The radicalised and radicalising X owner posted about race on 26 days out of 31 in January, the Guardian reveals. His site also invariably protects unlawful racist posts in the UK www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Report says that while Cab Office dismissed the claims against Romeo, the Foreign Office did not. Echoes of my experience in 2019, when Cabinet Office refused to address my ethical concerns about Brexit, but FCO took them seriously. Cab Office has become politicized. www.channel4.com/news/sources...

@thelavenderloft.bsky.social Hooray! Realised I hadn’t seen Errol and Chance for months. Searched and found you. 😀 We are following each other but you haven’t come up on my page.
