“No matter what a peaceful protestor may intend, it’s police who are deciding when to use violence and whom to use it against—and nothing we saw this weekend indicates their violence was confined to those who were not “peaceful.”” - @melissagiragrant.com newrepublic.com/article/1963...

There is no more concrete a guarantee that an autocrat is doing something wrong than when they start whining about paid, or outside, agitators. Erdogan, Putin, Orban, Mubarak etc have all tried it on for size.

The US is on the verge of martial law. In due course, and if he thinks he will lose them, Trump will suspend the mid-term elections. The excuse, as now, will be the “emergency” of illegal migration, possibly combined with terrorism, drugs or disease. Mark my words.

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

The official title of this mighty fine shindig is Forum Future 2050. @radchenko.bsky.social and I have been wasting our Sunday morning reading their programmatic vision and talks and let me tell you, it's wild. Unfortunately, in Russian only, no idea how Musk senior, Jeffrey Sachs, George Galloway

I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.

Thanks, Stephen Merchant! He’s been a patron of our kids’ primary and now secondary school for years. Wish all the comprehensives in the area had this level of support - including the fab PTA groups too obvs. Lucky kids!

This is exactly why we at Bangor UCU brought a motion to @ucu.org.uk Higher Education Sector Conference calling for divestment of our pension funds from Tesla The motion was overwhelmingly carried. Our members' pensions should not be wagered on what is effectively a meme stock run by a man-child

Always thought that one reason why politics has gone mad is because the people in power who are on social media never got banned from forums circa 2004 and have no idea about how to behave online.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

A source tipped me that Nina Power is now in collegial discussion with and favourably reading the work of von Hoffmeister, editor-in-chief of Arktos, an infamous neo-Nazi publisher. One more example how Power is an overt neo-Nazi; she is still writing for the Telegraph

While many are disappointed by the late condemnation and limited government action, protesters say what matters is that organising and pressure achieve results, and that consistent successes will de-normalise the genocide in Gaza. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/06/03/s...
