@mrjamesob.bsky.social Have you checked out the Brick Lane mural? A passing glance saw you before I realised it was Vance! 😲 I now can’t unsee it! Sorry 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

So, Trump forcibly deports hundreds of immigrants who have no criminal record and welcomes in Andrew Tate - a toxic misogynist on trial for rape, child-trafficking and money-laundering. Sums up what this repulsive US regime is all about. Moral depravity and money. Nothing else. Nothing good.

I started planning this column a while ago, but I kept imagining it wouldn't be necessary, as many other journalists would surely get there first. I've been scratching my head ever since, wondering "where is everyone?" Is this not a huge and obvious issue?

Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Of course our risible rightwing reports Vance’s speech as a warning to us and a defence of free speech, rather than the excruciatingly demented diplomatic incontinence that it was. Happy to take this shit from a fellow authoritarian rather than face up to their own descent into ruinous madness.

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/defending-...

Words matter. By not calling it what it is, we minimize the experiences of survivors everywhere. It’s rape. And those who perpetrate it are rapist. And it is unacceptable. The notion that we have a rapist in line to be potus is disgusting. I will never own that. #DemCast

“The only effective measure is to ban all political donations, and the giving and receiving of such donations a criminal offence. Such a ban would force political parties to compete and develop publicly acceptable policies” @premnsikka.bsky.social leftfootforward.org/2025/01/how-...

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition... www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymout...

Saw an old friend last night. Back in 2016 our conversations got a little dicy when he became something of a fervent Brexiter... In pub he suddenly volunteers to me: "Brexit was a shit idea wasn't it. I mean - a really shit idea." I think we may be entering the time frame where people accept that.

Netanyahu is a monster; the world should abandon his government. Not Israel—his government. Until Israel has a government willing to seek peace, not genocide, I can’t understand continued affiliation with him at any level. What’s happening to the Gazans is one of the great disgraces of this century.
