Absolutely agree. ID cards would solve so many problems.

“First he came for our steelworkers and car makers. Now Donald Trump is coming for our world leading British film industry. Will the PM work with our allies and make clear to Trump that if he picks a fight with James Bond, Bridget Jones and Paddington Bear, he will lose?” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Farage told ITV News his first action on becoming PM if he won the next GE would be removing the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights. Millionaires like Farage have a safety net, health, bills, pension, roof over their heads for life! Never vote ReFUK. But, he’ll happily rob you of:

American columnist Heidi Siegmund Cuda turns to Václav Havel’s dissident essays from 1978, 'The Power of the Powerless', to learn how people can find a collective way back from democratic ruin

Very concerning

This

Petr Pavel President of the Czech Republic 👏

Petr Fiala Prime Minister of the Czech Republic👏

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

Trump lies called out by Macron Trump at the end… like the worst toddler of all time Every day in every way ….. REGISTER TO VOTE AND USE IT if you want to live in a democracy

Nurse group demands total UK arms embargo against Israel A group of nurses has called on the UK Government to end all remaining trade of military equipment with Israel, to support the safety of healthcare workers in the Middle East. #nursing #middleeast #nurse www.nursingtimes.net/policies-and...

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump. One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

number 89,492 💪🏻

In happier news, today is National Black Women Physicians Day. My fellow Black women physicians and I proudly stand on the shoulders of Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831–1895), who, in 1864, became the first Black woman to earn a medical degree in the United States.

The Lancet has the luxury of being UK based, but I would welcome a similar statement from @nejm.org, @jama.com, @cidjournal.bsky.social, and others 🤷🏻‍♂️

At a moment when we desperately need a fragile truce to hold, Trump’s ramblings on Gaza risk having the effect of a bull in a china shop. The UK needs to make clear that these proposals must be rejected, and that we support international law and a two state solution based on 1967 borders.

The lengths to which the American press is going to describe Donald Trump's Gaza plan in every other way but as ethnic cleansing is quite something

I cannot even begin to state how sick this makes me feel. This is evil. And must be resisted with everything.

😅

Donald Trump is acting like a playground bully and is trying to play our allies off against each other. We must stand together against his attempts to divide us.

That should be considered a compliment from Musk. Somebody is getting under his skin. Keep standing up to him, sir! Hope that there will be more politicians to do the same.

Very brave. A thinly veiled threat from the dictator. I have friends in Belarus who are very afraid to open their mouths too wide. One of them has experienced Lukashenko’s prison just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

#medsky #pedsky #vaccines #aap #vaccineliteracy I wanted to repost the AAP's highlight of these powerful quotes from fellow pediatricians as we enter a new political landscape and CDC leaving the WHO. I urge everyone to consider vaccinations for their children!

Why is the world allowing this?

a lot happened today, but it has not gone unnoticed that apparently someone has to be reminded of this 👀

CNN's @jimacosta.bsky.social is out after 18 years as they make "internal changes". He signs off: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant. I have always believed it is the job of the press to hold power to account.. Don't give into the lies. Don't give into the fear. Hold onto the truth."

Idiotic, damaging, & dangerous for both US public health and global health CDC has world-renowned experts who work with WHO on a range of health challenges, from outbreaks to cancer prevention to polio eradication - work that now stops How is this good for America? apnews.com/article/cdc-...

Lord Heseltine is absolutely right

Sieg heil Tesla That Nazi salute - headlines suggest people shouldn’t believe their own eyes. And it’s either too early or much too late to point out that this George Orwell said was the final ultimate demand: to reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears By @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

US President Donald Trump says he would like to “just clean out” Gaza, urging Egypt and Jordan to take in more Palestinians from the coastal enclave aje.io/zp2iaa
