Trump policies remarkably like those used by 1930s far-right fascist regimes. Trump has defied court orders, detained/deported people without due process, shut govt depts, silenced universities; rewarded sycophants. People persuaded by populist rhetoric. Farage/Reform following in footsteps.

It’s absolutely insane that hundreds of lawyers and judges (829 to be exact) need to write to Starmer to tell him, a humanitarian lawyer by trade, of his basic duties under humanitarian law. —> lawyersletter.uk

The distressing resurgence of English nationalism: 'over 40 per cent of people in England now say that “English” is a better fit for their sense of identity than “British”..... Startlingly, supporters of Farage rank “being English” above “being a parent” as a marker of who they think they are.'

Take a few minutes for this one—because you might need FEMA in the near future, and you need to know what’s currently going on. Or not going on. Thank you, @repjasmine.bsky.social for telling it straight, sounding the alarm, and sharing how we can help.

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

People who panic about white people "becoming a minority" are open racists I couldn't give a shit if "white British" people do become a minority. Britishness isn't whiteness. Our shared culture isn't dictated by skin colour. If skin colour dictates legitimate citizenship you're a white nationalist.

The campaign for Glasgow University to divest from arms companies is one of the most prominent student-led movements in recent years.

Gott kvöld from Iceland, where more Icelanders are wanting to join the EU. In an unstable world, with twin threats of Trump & Putin - it’s the EU they look to as the club of values, culture, defence and trade to which they want to belong. 🇮🇸🇪🇺

This week, the Secretary of Homeland Security showed she did not even know what the term "habeas corpus" meant. It was a truly pathetic moment, but also truly representative of the embarrassing ignorance of this administration and their lack of respect for the rule of law. #ResistTrump

“Same-sex women couples undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) abroad can both be legally recognised as parents in Italy, regardless of whether the second parent is the biological mother or not.” Great news from Italy on #IVF. www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/23/l...

Kemi Badenoch: “I came to the UK with my dad’s last £100, working at McDonald’s - look where I am now.” Trevor Phillips: “12 points adrift in the polls, that’s where you are.”

These Republicans that want to tank the lives of millions of US citizens make me sick. Sociopathic MFs

The Reform Party wants to block wind & solar—the cheapest forms of energy. They want you to pay more for your electricity. Rural Britain deserves cheaper bills, clean energy, and local jobs. That’s real 'reform'. Prof Richard Murphy writes
