Trump, through his crony Patel and the FBI, has orchestrated the arrest of a judge who dedicated her life to justice. We stand with those who serve the law with integrity, not with criminals who claim to enforce it.

We choose to support judges who risk everything for justice, not a man facing multiple indictments who manipulates institutions for his personal gain. America must reject the falsehoods of those who betray its core principles.

The political arrest of a judge signals the collapse of judicial independence, erodes public trust in US institutions, and accelerates the rise of authoritarianism, where law becomes a tool for personal power rather than a shield for the people.

Starmer should be refusing to negotiate anything with the USA whilst it continues to throw its weight around like this. We should align with the EU. We are stronger together observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

There’s no shortage of money. There's only a shortage of will, imagination to spend it wisely. When a handful of men can each afford their own space programme, and yet children still go to bed hungry in cities glowing with wealth, we’re not dealing with scarcity, we’re dealing with stupidity.

Oh yes. America has picked an extremely inopportune moment to collapse into fascism. The tools of the modern surveillance state in the hands of a fascist autocrat is going to very hard to v resist. That’s why we must stop them now.

The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to children starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, these children might die within months, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports. https://theatln.tc/kQAZFJJw

If Trump was President in 1940

Once again, the USA is voting in the UN alongside Russia, North Korea, Belarus, and their other... buddies

Come on The Arsenal!!!

Remember this partisan, patronising headline on a BBC News article last month? We made a formal complaint, asking specifically how this had been signed off before publication (it was changed later after numerous complaints). The BBC failed to answer and insists everything is just fine

I don't know if there is a case to be brought before the European Court of Human Rights - but we have already asked the question of a KC. And, yes, if there is a decent case for a trans person to bring, we will help them bring it.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him. Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it. This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response. Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.

That trans Atlantic alliance was every modern American’s birth right, bought with the blood of 60,000,000 million dead in WWII and Trump has just pissed it away.

A reader (@paulobro.bsky.social‬) points out that crowds don't gather to watch a building being constructed, whose stages are slow and steady and undramatic. But thousands might assemble to see its demolition. It's a great way of understanding how Trump commands the world's attention.

Because you have two homes?

One of modern journalism's heroes. The integrity shown by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social would have been considered standard back in the '80s. I am old enough to remember a journalist going to prison rather than reveal their source - and being backed by their editor, and journalists across the world.
