This is terrifying. Have the US Congress and Justice System really no means to stop this flagrant breach of good governance?

Who is this complete obnoxious **** on World at One BBC Radio 4??? Don’t pander to them! Get him off NOW! Sebastian Gorka - just UNREAL 🤬

WSJ: The S&P 500 just ended the day with its biggest loss in the first 100 days of a new presidential term since Nixon's in 1973.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Just inhumane and pointlessly costly

Genuinely amazing that Trump has devised a tariff regime that exempts phones manufactured in China but hammers anyone assembling electronics in the USA using parts made in China. Cannot *wait* to see how his boosters explain that decision as genius.

Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work #AcademicSky #EduSky

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass. Philip K. Dickens

Fair

Couldn’t agree more. This article left me wanting to chip in for their plane fare out of the UK.

Pretty stunning to see the difference between Fox News and Fox Business. They know how much they are lying to people.

what if it just took one though

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Never imagined I'd punch the air with delight on finding out the result of a Wisconsin Supreme Court special election. But here we are. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Utterly appalling.

PSA: there are not “methods” for Donald Trump to serve a third term and anyone who tells you otherwise is a motherfucking idiot.

Seriously, if you worry that upholding the law might be politically bad for the 'optics‘, and could give a boost to the people you want nowhere near power, you have already given up on the principles you claim to be defending.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

The former ambassador to Denmark for the United States, Rufus Gifford, posted this video on his Facebook account: Ht: @hpsc24.bsky.social

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

What a difference 6 hours makes for a dog. Everything has now changed in life for little Bianca 🥰

This article in Time magazine is a must read. Trump and co have no respect for the law. To send people to this hellhole without due process is evil. time.com/7269604/el-s...

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK Led By Donkeys is 100% funded by small donations.

Looking forward to getting further into this book by @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social Encouraged by the introduction including “What does ‘better’ mean?” (NB in 1957 Hansen would have already included nutrition, health, education, recreation…) and “The fundamental issue is the definition of value”.

William Golding's Lord of the Flies is a novel about faction fighting between public schoolboys on an island cut off from Europe. Any resemblance to current developments in Reform UK is purely coincidental.

Cracking the Magafacists code

Every political party in Greenland condemns Trump’s talk of annexation.

So Teslas are fossil-fueled after all.

Homophobic, antisemitic, racist Mel Gibson abused girlfriend - broke 2 teeth, gave her black eye & threatened her w gun while she ws holding a child. He plead ‘no contest’ to charges & lost gun rights. Mel’s buddy Trump ordered Mel’s gun rights restored. DOGE official objected & was fired. Ugh

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... Waking up to see that in 36 hours we’ve got 6400 signatures on the Parky Charter petition! Join us, share it, we can do this!

"Economists at JPMorgan Chase said Monday that the risk of a recession had edged up to 40% from 30% owing to 'extreme U.S. policies'.” 'This is very much a man-made situation,' said the chief investment officer at Key Private Bank." www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

I see Chris Philp is now repeating Matt Goodwin's deliberate lie. The correct figure is 17%, and most of those are long-standing residents (and in many cases will have British spouses/children).

The US stock market slump likely has only a little to do with the actual impact of the tariffs imposed to-date. Instead, it's the market's assessment that the people in charge don't do their homework, don't consider consequences, can't implement, but refuse to let any of that slow them down.

35 years of regained independence of Lithuania 🇱🇹 ! Through the hard work of our people, we have succeeded in building a free and democratic state—an active and trusted member of the EU and NATO. We have achieved a lot, and many more accomplishments are still ahead!
