The world will be kinder for a little while.

A 'pre-Hague photo shoot'. Love it.

Shoot this right into my veins.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the Danes agreed to form a working group to discuss the surrender of Greenland to Trump. "No we didn't" says the Danish foreign minister, indeed "there will be no discussion of turnover." www.berlingske.dk/indland/det-...

If we break our alliances, we are smaller and weaker. If we break them for pride and power and greed, then we don’t just break an alliance, we break our own character. We diminish ourselves in every way that matters, and no amount of newly sovereign frozen ground can obscure our national shame.

This is stupid, offensive and shows no respect for the Nobel Prize Committee or the citizens of her country who are still under authoritarian rule, with their resources being stolen.

Trump setting up off shore accounts to facilitate his corruption.

Left: Nigel Farage, "Of course I've talked to Robert Jenrick.. Have we had conversations? Yes" Right: Robert Jenrick, "I want to put Reform UK out of business, I want to send Nigel Farage back to retirement"

An excellent move. He will fit in well with Reform, although that Party may be a little left leaning from him.

How Trump's bizarre Greenland obsession could create a global crisis. From @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I can't keep up with the scale of American corruption. This is theft from Venezuelan people, never mind creditors.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Yes, this was predictable. From October, 2024: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Yet again, this cowardly despot takes the word of a brutal regime rather than face the truth, the facts we all see before us. Does the fact that Iran is Putin's ally have any influence? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

❗️"If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark right now — we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the European Union." — Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen

Renee Nicole Good was murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just American democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

They target only those who are democrats. TRUMP WAS A DEMOCRAT DURING HIS STINT WITH EPSTEIN. Trump commits crimes every day. When are republicans going to stand up for Americans & America instead of standing behind this criminal? Trumps destroying the world while they stand with him. This is sick.

Rep. Espaillat: 32 people died under DHS custody in 2025. Already, 4 people have died in 2026, along widespread reports of sexual abuse, medical neglect, and inhumane conditions.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

I think the answer is that Trump & Co haven't got a bloody clue what they are trying to do. It wouldn't surprise me if they let all these protesters down after saying, 'Help is on its way'. #Trump #iran www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every day we pull three Verge stories out of the paywall for 24 hours, and today we're starting with a banger from @lopatto.bsky.social: X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? www.theverge.com/policy/85990...

So presidential… Trump flipped off a Ford worker with his tiny little fingers after the worker yelled, “pedophile protector.” The Ford worker was just calling out facts. 🤷🏽‍♂️

NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.

It goes from bad, to worse, to unbelievable evil.

What kind of a country allows this. Good to see Americans standing up. Bless em.

Unbelievable bullying. Then again, it is the Trump way. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” ~ Frederick Douglass ICE continues to exist because endurance has been mistaken for consent.

🚨 NEW: The Government is working with Canada and Australia to launch a coordinated ban on X over Grok Ministers believe it will send a "powerful message" to Elon Musk if countries do it together

The stupidity and overwhelming nativity, with added pomposity, from Mandelson this morning alarmed me. I've met this entitled, sneering type before. He still thinks he made a 'mistake' as opposed to not understanding what being a paedophile is re Epstein + he doesn't think Trump is hostile.

Call your legislators and tell them they need to protect their constituents from this abuse. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

More than 5,000 people here in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. #FuckICE #iceout #mpls #FuckTrump

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Great LibFem letter here re Ofcom, X and Grok. Action needed.

There are quite a few Labour MPs out there who woukd back this motion. And probably a few Tories too.

Good for you complaining. The Today programme is an institution. It should never be compromised.

I never understood why some people would be prepared to risk everything and take a one way ticket to Mars. Now I do. Trump says he would accept Nobel Peace Prize from Machado www.washingtonpost.com/video/politi...

What he disrespects, fails to understand, is that all this might was built with the bloody and the work of previous Americans generations. He is nothing but a weak, vain man. The world must stop pandering to him.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

"An agent shot a woman in Minneapolis, causing vast and needless grief. Our country is diseased – but that is not the only truth," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social.

President Macron criticises the United States for abandoning allies and breaking international law: "We reject the new colonialism and imperialism, but we also reject subjugation and defeatism" "We want to be strong partners, doing everything we can, but when we make a commitment, we're there"

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

There is currently an enormous protest in the streets of Minneapolis in response to the murder there today by the American Gestapo, ICE. I take some comfort in this.

having said myself that people don't need to watch the video, here's my colleague Susan Matthews making a strong case that, yes you do (she also describes it well enough that I feel okay ignoring her instruction)
