Who'd have thought Germany was standing up to dictatorship when the United States is failing?

Is Mark Carney available for every press conference

As Labour's Yvette Cooper announces an investigation into historic child sexual abuse Never forget that time Boris Johnson dismissed the need for such investigations, saying it was a waste of money, then lied about it

Starting a war in order to divert political and diplomatic attention away from a genocide. Doesn't get much worse than this. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

If you had any doubt before about the necessity of public protest to oppose this lawless regime, I hope you now understand that if a US senator is not safe, none of us are safe--and we must join together in the millions in response to these criminals.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

But never worry. BBC news gives greater priority in 18.00 TV broadcast to the death of a novelist.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

Trump spent 75 minutes on the phone with Putin. He praised him, talked about teaming up on Iran, but apparently never called on him to stop targeting innocent civilians. What a disgraceful way to treat our allies and the brave people of Ukraine.

Ursula von der Leyen, "A Europe in which people come together thanks to shared culture and values, freedom and respect for human dignity" "Peace and prosperity, freedom and unity, ladies and gentlemen, that is also what Europe means to me"

Farage: "Lucy Connolly should not be in prison... Understand, there were millions of mothers at that moment in time after Southport feeling exactly the same way. Connolly was imprisoned because she posted: “Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards… if that makes me racist so be it.”

Holy crap that's fascinating. www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens. After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

Yesterday's protest in Tel Aviv, while passersby screamed insults. "Go to Gaza! "Prostitutes" "Shame!" The sign says, "Starvation is a War Crime," in Hebrew and in English. @aloner.bsky.social @yairwallach.bsky.social

No one should sugar coat the real problems in Zimbabwe but watching a multiracial cricket team represent the country in England for the first time in 22 years whilst being cheered on by a multiracial diaspora, underlines the unreality of Trump's obscene lies about White Genocide in Southern Africa

Probably shouldn’t have threatened their sovereignty. 🇨🇦 @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
