US democracy & the rule of law are on the floor. Not breathing & no pulse, but not pronounced dead yet despite the Trump administration's best efforts to get there. Harvard gave the dying patient a chest compression this week, who is ready & willing to give the next one? #resist #ruleoflaw #trump

We have already experienced Truss' free speech loud & clear. She also had the most powerful job in the UK to implement her 'freely-speeched' ideas & it was a f*cking disaster. Liz, you're in a hole, so stop digging. #politics #lettuce #populistcrap www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's a wonder that criteria have to be met for new countries to join the EU given that one of its current members is passing obviously fascist policies with little action from the EU. Seems like the EU is now just a trading block. #hungary #fascism #humanrights www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Words but no action for Palestine. Not even strong words about Turkey. Meanwhile UK & EU seeking trade deals with China & UAE. When the authoritarians unite to squash the last democracies, we'll deserve it. @kajakallas.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

TYPO ALERT: Not 2.5 million. Schwab raked in $2.5 billion. Repeat: 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS. Trump’s tariff insider trading scheme delivered HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of DOLLARS to his already mega-wealthy buddies.

🚨ALERT : The SAVE Act is a THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY. 📌It will limit access to the polls. 📌It will gut the National Voter Registration Act. 📌It will lead to voter purges. STOP THIS BILL‼️ #HandsOffHerVote

Married women whose names changed? Blocked. Trans people whose ID doesn’t match outdated records? Targeted. Communities of color already facing systemic barriers? Further marginalized. Let’s not pretend this isn’t exactly what the authors of the SAVE Act intend. #HandsOffHerVote

As a UK voter, I'd like @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social to know that I don't consider Israel an ally of the UK. The Israeli gov' is pursuing ethnic cleansing: quickly in Gaza, more slowly but systematically in the West Bank. @emilythornberry.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @snp.org #palestine

What's the UK gov' doing to oppose Erdoğan's authoritarianism in Turkey? Helping Ukraine to maintain freedom & democracy while ignoring authoritarianism in Turkey is a double standard. Is UK gov' now doing Pick n Mix with its fave/least fave dictators? @emilythornberry.bsky.social #turkey

Fully agree that the world should support Ukraine to maintain its independence & freedom against Putin the dictator. But it makes no sense to ignore Erdoğan's authoritarianism in Turkey. What are western countries doing to support democracy in Turkey? Not much as far as I can see. #turkey #nato

Water is a critical national resource. It's part of our commons and belongs to all of us. Yet a decades long ideological commitment to privatisation has seen water treated as a commodity, a profit extraction vehicle that exists to enrich a small few at the expense of the many. We can do it better.

You hear that @schumer.senate.gov the people demand that we need a leader of our party that will fight harder and not capitulate to the whims of a tyrant. Chuck with all sincerity, I appreciate you doing what you’ve done but it’s time to step down and let the warriors lead the charge. #TheReformers

If you're horrified by Israel's resumption of killing in Gaza & you're boycotting Israeli goods in the UK... @sainsburys is selling Israeli houmous made by Sabra, & Lidl is selling Israeli avocados. #gaza #boycottisrael #palestine #israel #freepalestine

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

There is no point in Senate Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Dems should only vote for a continuing resolution if it stops DOGE pillaging and fully funds services. Call your Dem Senator 202-224-3121

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib Free Mahmoud Khalil. This is straight out of the fascist playbook. Criminalizing dissent is an assault on our First Amendment and freedom of speech. Revoking someone’s green card for expressing their political opinion is illegal. Protesting genocide is not a crime.

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing? Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...
