If it hadn't been for the drones over Copenhagen Airport last night, I wouldn't be getting this sunrise across the Swedish lands as I travel by train to Copenhagen. Let's hope the refund application is accepted by SAS 😇 #Cphairport

Got diverted to Göteborg airport as @cphairports.bsky.social is closed due to drone activity. Everyone very calm and awaiting news. Let's see if we're spending the night in Sweden.

Hey @bbc-politics.bsky.social asking again why yesterday you were still covering the anti-Muslim march from a week ago, while you didn’t even mention the Tax The Rich march which literally started on your doorstep yesterday This is a choice. Who’s making it for you?

Brilliant!

Having listened to leftist @sohrabahmari.bsky.social and pro-Brexit (Blue Labour) Maurice Glasman identifying post-liberalism as a problematic agenda, I'm left with the feeling that an intelligent, vigorous and bold defence of the rule-based, social democratic state is very much needed. #HTLGI25

At How The Light Gets In festival, the political voices calling themselves conservative/right wing, appear aggressive, argumentatively incoherent, unaware of macroeconomy (nations aren't household economies) - and disguised as OPINIONS, they use free speech mantra to spout their disinformation. 1/

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

James Bacchus argues for sortition and Citizen Assemblies in making people mire engaged in making political decisions! I love it! #HTLGI25 @kennethroth.bsky.social

I'm right now attending the How The Light Gets sin festival in London, where they discuss the risks of Unelected Elites affect democracy.... In USA, the danger is the autocrat in the oval office. #HTLGI25

In this panel of right-wing political actors, the definition of populism is described both as Identity and something 'popular'. I'd say that today's populism more accurately means whipping up a frenzy by finger pointing, thus creating 'identity' by blaming others... #HTLGI25

I 💯 agree with Timothy Garton Ash's conclusion: we have international problems but national politics. Parties like @volteuropa.org are addressing this dichotomy, but everyone in society need to be able to discuss the European future. #HTLGI25

In numerous episodes of @therestpolitics.bsky.social they discuss the need for the safe use of data to boost healthcare. This collab between @ukbiobank.bsky.social and Danish researchers at @hdsai.sund.ku.dk shows how that's achievable. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Newsom: I am necessary. Kimmel: It was necessary. Keir Starmer: I'll do whatever seems necessary Royal Family: we'll do whatever. EU leaders: necessity beckons. Ukraine: great, thanks 👍

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Are Too Big to Fail corporations growing to be a threat to free speech and dissent? Accusing those in power of abuse of power is the core to a functioning democracy.

Who really profits from America's wars? Check out my new explainer on the defense lobby and tell me your thoughts in the comments. #News #Investigation #USA #War #Gaza

Surely, the question everyone is asking: Will Andrew attend the State Banquet?

❗️Attention, Poland and France! Russian propagandists threaten to strike the Polish territory with tactical nuclear weapons because France deployed 3 Rafale fighter jets to help Warsaw protect its airspace in response to a Russian drone attack.

I did peak things today @lomondtrossachs.bsky.social Ben A'an is beautiful and the descent is absolutely tremendous 😅😅

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Positively criminal to deny that this is PERFECT weather for a wee read @bloodyscotland.bsky.social Thanks again for a thrilling and inspiring weekend 😍😍

💯

“Russian missiles will reach London just as quickly as they will reach Tallinn,” said the NATO Secretary General. “Russian missiles are capable of reaching London or Madrid in a matter of minutes, so one cannot assume that the threat only concerns NATO’s eastern flank,” Mark Rutte declared

In light of the truly amped up and dangerous rhetoric this past week, I wanted to acknowledge and thank Utah Governor @SpencerJCox for his calm, measured, and calming influence this week. www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/p...

Absolutely loving @bloodyscotland.bsky.social in Stirling. Brilliant story tellers, lovely city, happy events and amazingly inspiring in so many ways! First visit, not the last ❤️

The 'Prove me Wrong' was done - repeatedly. Only, his followers didn't care and he seemingly didn't want to adhere to the proofs. An inability to change one's mind in the face of new evidence is prolific in any extreme environment and we, collectively, have to prevent such inability, legally.

Poland has completely closed its border with Belarus. Today, Zapad-2025 military training is starting in Belarus. About 13,000 Russian and Belarusian troops will take part in them.

This confirms that we need MORE people stepping up! This also means creating a more inviting and engaging public space with clear ethics and values in our public domain. We can't keep recycling the same guys, disregarding what we know, because "he's the best we have, not the best we could get"

Historians everywhere: We've been here before.

Rule of law is not a turn of phrase, it's the backbone of modern society. The further disintegration of a rules based society will lead to the type of strong-men feudalism that led to wars and degradation of women. Our laws are core, they must be protected and enshrined.

Denmark's foreign policy has been firm until now - USA was our military ally. With the purchase of European arms, Denmark is changing their foreign policy. Europe is gathering strength and Greenland isn't for sale. www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

The question is.... Did the West want Israel to be able to defend itself, or did they want Israel to be safe? The disregard of warmongering and settlement-intensifying politicians has not helped the Israelies who wanted safety.

European NATO members know what's at stake - US right-wingers are busy creating a domestic terrorist state, rather than standing for rule of law. Fuck USA.

When civilians are killed because of their opinions; when Vance and Farage claim Europe has no freedom of speech - the winner is putin and the loser will be Ukraine and Europe as long as we don't stand up for decent and free societies. Humanity may be threatened, but not by human rights.

As the Polish military confirmed that aerial objects were shot down, the incident marks what is believed to be the first direct engagement by a NATO member against Russian assets in its own airspace since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

It's pretty widely known that Russia uses outlawed chemical weapons in Ukraine: why wouldn't they, as they commit so many other war crimes? But proving it was difficult. Now a report which does that Russia signed the treaty prohibiting chemical weapons www.radiosvoboda.org/a/news-skhem...

Yeah, now we have to buy it instead. USA is profiteering off russian aggression and it's despicable.

🇷🇺 managed to upscale its production capacity of terror drones to this level through industrial support from 🇨🇳. Lots of the parts come from 🇨🇳. You know the same 🇨🇳 that hosted the SCO summit talking about a peace, Int’l Law and a more just and stable world order🤡

They've shuttered and sold off the entirety of America's Soft Power. They've handed the globe to China - who's busy building infrastructure in the countries we need to trade with. Trump has destroyed American power abroad.

'risk'... 😲

European leaders need to find their courage and define themselves future for our continent. Ukrainians have fought for us, time for us to fight against them dictators is US and old USSR. Thanks @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

I don't understand how Irish politicians can stand their ground on Gaza with reference to their own history of colonialism and repression by the British - and at the same time propose to make the GPO in Dublin an effing office building 😲😲😲 #savetheGPO www.thejournal.ie/gpo-redevelo...

NPR dishes all!

Sending vibes to my friends, making sure we buy that villa so we can retire with dignity. Just 30 years off, gotta aim for high ground too, I guess.

Great. Norwegian guy sells his mining company on Sami land in Finnmark (northern Norway) to Canadian mining company Blue Moon, who will dump mining waste in a pristine Norwegian fjord. www.finansavisen.no/ravarer/2024... www.ifinnmark.no/politiet-for...

California's Gary Newsom is taking on trump in a way I wish Europe would take on Orban and putin.

💯 90s vibes 😍😍😍😍😍
