Minneapolis, deputata dem aggredita a un comizio con una siringa. "Dentro un liquido sconosciuto" https://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2026/01/28/news/minneapolis_deputata_dem_ilhan_omar_aggredita_comizio_siringa-425122492/?rss

Addendum: From the Commission's press release, it sounds like X did not do any ad hoc risk assessment report before launching Grok, which it is obligated to do under the DSA. The case is similar to when TikTok launched its Lite version in 2024, without doing a proper risk assessment beforehand.

It tells you everything you need to know that Reform are parachuting in a rent-an-extremist - this isn't about representing the people of Gorton and Denton, it's about using this place as a platform for their careers. Manchester will show him the door.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

"Up to 380 people may have drowned attempting to cross the Mediterranean last week". The West's normalisation of the mass death of black Africans (because that is predominantly who these people are) will never be less than devastating.

National insurance hike and energy bills behind food price rise, say UK retailers. No mention of the role of private equity ownership of supermarkets, restaurants and pubs. No mention of profiteering, exec pay, dividends or profit shifting to dodge taxes.

Multiple countries sign landmark deal to build giant wind farms in the North Sea "that directly connect to various countries through high-voltage subsea cables, under plans that are expected to provide 100 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind power." The US, meanwhile, is shutting down offshore wind.

"You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple."

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Trump’s billion dollar lawsuit against the BBC is presumably still ongoing, which is I guess why we’re seeing this kind of ‘balanced’ (ie reporting an obvious lie as though it’s credible) coverage.

Voting in the midterms begins in 51 days.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Wait until the 2d Amendment nuts find out that simply possessing a gun is now punishable by death.

Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

I’d rather live next door to someone who crossed the oceans with a child to escape death and violence than a citizen who wouldn’t cross the street to help a foreigner.

Board of Peace - Season 1

When it comes to climate, the Global South is the future of the Global North. This week a cyclone hit the Med. “One in 50 yrs event” etc. The pics are immense, the damage mostly in Sicily/Calabria. As the Global South knows well, the event was received with much silence by much Italian media.

I know some people are cynical about everything now and just say “eh, what do you expect” at every new low, but really this is just astonishing and outrageous, and I don’t think we should shrug at that www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This piece is getting at something that I’ve been trying to articulate (not very successfully) in recent conversations when asked if China is the new long-awaited climate champion the world has been waiting for. My answer is never a simple flat yes, for the reasons that Jeremy touches on here. 1/

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

A propos demographic decline... I travel a fair bit through Europe with kids and I don’t know how many times @floriangkern.bsky.social has heard me saying that I am convinced Europeans are speedily losing the habit of seeing kids around and interacting with them. Now this.

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires call for higher taxes on super-rich. They know that a hostile environment is not conducive to accumulation. They can increase real wages for workers. Govt can tax super-rich at higher rates, impose wealth tax and redistribute.

This week's messages for Europe Mark Carney: "We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition" US historian David Kagan: "Europe needs to become self sufficient in military & economic terms. It [faces] an aggressive America run by a megalomaniac" Full interview w @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 🔗 ⏬

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

Trump makes the case for energy independence and the world responds. The wind and sun are democratising the global energy market - every country has access to them, not just a few. www.edie.net/global-fossi....

But Sir Keir thinks “calm discussions” based on “partnership, facts and mutual respect” is going to work…

Surprised? No. Not in the slightest. America is officially the enemy of peace and democracy.

It’s all happening at such a dizzying speed in the US, trying to keep up feels like running to stand still. My new year’s resolution is to log off more and listen to Simon’s round up every Friday. 10 minutes of straight up, fact heavy reporting with receipts.

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

María Corina Machado told Fox News that there was a clear reason why she gave up the award.

Jesus. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

And when you're a star they let you do it.

FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter investigating the administration. Hannah Natanson was inside at the time. The Post says the raid was triggered by reporting on a contractor accused of illegally hoarding classified material. www.thedailybeast.com//reporter-in...

The interviewer is a renowned British journalist. This is legit!

Trump yells “fuck you” and flips off an auto worker in Michigan who yelled “pedophile protector” www.tmz.com/2026/01/13/t...

🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero 1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system 2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free 3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us" 4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous 5) That's it! 1/10

🧵Trump needs to keep his fucking terrorist hands off Iran. He thinks war is a game, and he has zero value for human life. The people of Iran deserve their freedom back. It is what they are fighting for, and an American invasion will just lead to another insurgency bloodbath like Iraq.

Why is embedding Peter Thiel’s Palantir in the British army, navy & airforce a national security disaster? Well consider what happens when you ‘buy’ a Tesla. You’re actually just renting the software. That can be turned off at any time. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Please read this. The UK political & media establishment is asleep at the wheel. We have made ourselves wholly dependent on a Trump ally for our national security at the exact moment Trump is threatening to invade a NATO ally open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

NEW: The Palantirisation of the UK military is a national security disaster. Peter Thiel is now the third wheel in the US-UK ‘special relationship’. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Jeez. This is completely insane. How has this been allowed to happen?

Federal authorities have tear-gassed a crowd outside the Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling. Follow updates here. bit.ly/3Lakres

This is smart from Polanski in broadening the greens appeal. Often language around ‘green choices’ is received as choices for those who can afford to do so and just another financial/time burden at a time of already high burdens for everyone else looks tin eared. www.thetimes.com/article/a7ac...
