Donald Trump is behaving like a tyrant, not a President. By turning the military against American citizens, he is threatening the very core of our democracy. I’m asking the court to immediately block these unlawful actions.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

A manifesto for ‘adults’ who believe in the tooth fairy. And hate what they don’t understand -which is a lot. Tax cuts paid for by scrapping Net Zero, the EU deal and DEI and deporting asylum seekers to god knows where at no apparent cost. This is ‘tip your country into the bin’ stuff. (The i Paper)

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

❗️Zelensky reposted a 2018 statement by former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: “The U.S. reaffirms its policy of non-recognition of the Kremlin’s claims of sovereignty over territory seized by force.” A timeless reminder: Might doesn’t make right.

Latest in @theatlantic.com . Trump's plan is a no win for Ukraine. Whether Ukraine agrees or not, Trump will end sanctions on Russia and get back to business with Putin. Can we finally hear the end of the arguments that Trump is anything but Russia's ally? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Oh FGS. Anything that upsets corporate power and/or the far right is now deemed by the BBC to invoke "public controversy", and must therefore be nixed. The BBC has done more to censor public debate than any other organisation in the UK. And still it goes on.

As the news report that US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth had a second signal chat in which he shared detailed military plans with his family One wonders if he was inspired by Mission Gainsborough from this episode of Blackadder Goes Forth 👀

🇷🇺⚓️ Russia might be bracing for something big in Crimea, says Ukrainian Navy spox Dmytro Pletenchuk. Warships are dispersing near Novorossiysk, and air defense units are being relocated in occupied Crimea — possibly in anticipation of a threat from Ukraine in the Black Sea.

A massive Russian assault in the Zaporizhzhia axis was crushed by the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade — over 300 troops and 40+ vehicles, including tanks and IFVs, advanced but were spotted early by Ukrainian drones. 29 enemy vehicles and around 140 troops were destroyed.

People who are trying to say that Trump's deal is not so bad for Ukraine are not grasping the crucial nature of him trying to bully Ukraine into handing legal control of Crimea to Russia. This is the USA rewriting the internationally recognized borders of Europe to suit a dictatorship.

He’s got away with untold crimes, lies & offences. He’s achieved the highest office in the land. Twice. He’s lining his pockets on an industrial scale & persecuting his enemies for fun. But he’s still a miserable, bitter, humourless & furious man. Because deep inside, he knows exactly who he is.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Nigel Farage like Trump, is telling people exactly what he is, what he would do but wanting others to be treated less than you is a strong drug that makes them care about nothing else Farage Net Zero is the new Brexit & he would have British DOGE in ever council & county (austerity in steroids)

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.
