On the day of Donald Trump’s military parade, Europeans are commemorating 40 years of borderless travel on the continent. @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social on how the European gathering in Schengen showcases a different vision of international order:

Easy to overlook !

The Trump regime is purporting to occupy a major American city with military troops while secret agents kidnap people off the street. A US senator was just arrested and the President has entertained questions about arresting the governor. Authoritarianism is on the march; an extremely dangerous time

F**k me!!!

Musk is -27 (30% approve and 57% disapprove) in America. 6/10 Republicans still like him after the Trump row (lost 16 points with Republicans) Elon Musk much more toxic in Britain - 13% to 80% - than America. Our regulators, govt, MPs are slow to do a right & popular thing to rein in X lawlessness

Fair assessment IMO

This I how it starts. Red Baseball hats these days instead of Brown Shirts.

Uh, why and on what basis??? Also this is illegal and a violation of the Vienna Convention

Those who think the Good Friday Agreement requires ECHR participation are "NPCs who are talking nonsense", says Prof Goodwin - a non-lawyer who knows SFA about the GFA or the ECHR Here's an actual legal analysis of the point, from @davidallengreen.bsky.social - davidallengreen.com/2023/07/why-...

BREAKING: Gov. Newsom is asking for a restraining order on Trump/Hegseth's use of the military in Los Angeles, saying they are preparing to go on immigration raids with ICE. He wants a ruling within two hours. "They must be stopped immediately." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

20th army of the world is on its 4th year of resisting the 2nd army of the world while the 1st army of the world sleeps in basements after beating its own citizens

What the hell is wrong with them?

You may not like the Tories, I don't, but they have an important role in preventing something far worse in Farragism in my humble opinion. Young Rawnsley provides a good Sunday morning read again.

This thread shows that we at last have a government that's facing up to the challenges Britain faces and is working hard to put the country on a strong economic footing for the future. Refreshing after 14 years of ConRef party market forces free for all corruption, incompetence and chaos.

Good point 🤔

@stephenkb.bsky.social loving that bloody suit there on newsnight ....🤞❤️🤞❤️🤞

Sarah Pochin seems to be a wrecking ball for Reform... www.lbc.co.uk/politics/uk-...

President Trump just floated sanctioning Ukraine for fighting back against Russia's aggression. America deserves a leader, not a president who bows to Putin, and every lawmaker should condemn this.

This 100%. People who oppose ID have never had to painstakingly document themselves their right to remain in the country via 30 years of bills and rental contracts because there is no centralised system where this information is kept.

I'm in 👍

Musk right now...

How am I meant to sleep with memes like this popping up on my feed??

POPCORN TIME PEEPS 🍿

New, and sure to be controversial: The firm hired to protect the Harris-Walz campaign's iPhones believes it has seen indication that a handful of high profile Americans' phones — including campaign members'! — were hacked with sophisticated and unidentified spyware.

I'm thinking about shorting Tesla, reckon there's some way to go ⬇️ yet.

I'm going to have to give 'post of the week' to Elon Musk across all social media 🤣 ... Will the Donald be asking his bestie Vlad how people get to have airplane crashes?
