This is the most clear-eyed thing I have read on the intent and likely consequences of what is happening in the US federal govt

Is Trump free-styling, or is he following a semi-predictable agenda? A look into America's history suggests that he may, according to his own interpretation, be partying like it's 1799... @drpam.bsky.social yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/an-...

I learned more from a three minute record…than I ever learned in school…

Life as a 1960s primary school kid in London. And if anyone was wondering, no, he didn’t have to do a risk assessment. It was a 10 minute bus ride! #EduSky

Mavka Slavka 🧜‍♀️🌻 @mavkaslavka.bsky.social 💞 It's time to discard the surprise And begin widely opening your eyes. Apprentice and master Pursue your disaster To ignore it is really unwise. #RussiaIsATerroristState 😵‍💫🌏🌎🌍

This dates from the first Trump presidency, but just as relevant today. From @randyrainbow.bsky.social youtu.be/k-LTRwZb35A?...

Zanny Minton Beddos, "We're not in a world of traditional diplomacy, we're in a world of mobster, mafia gangsterism" "This is not the West Wing, it's the God-father" "The President of the Unites States is best thought of in monster terms, in terms of how to deal with him"

Stephen Fry: “I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism” Laura Kuenssberg: “You would use that word?” Stephen Fry: “Oh absolutely. It’s a cult of power; and power only speaks to power” #bbclaurak

Finally!! Great news - congratulations to all who campaigned for this 👏👏Now we need to make it as inclusive as possible eg covering colleges & apprenticeships @europeanmovement.co.uk

We have families, children, streamers, bubbles, music, dungarees,lunch - all the essential ingredients for a day with @danwuori.bsky.social Open to absolutely anyone who cares about how we love, trust, and get to know the youngest personalities in our community. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/imaginatio...

People from working class backgrounds can't afford to focus on their creative work. I'm guessing Eton alumni don't have the same issues...Tom Hiddlestone...Eddie Redmayne etc must have relied on family to support them before they became famous and rich.

Gove, à committed philistine with a Gradgrindian approach to education, ruined life for young people before moving on to ruin life for everybody else by espousing Brexit. Not to mention being up to his neck in massive Covid-PPE corrupt deals and backhanders. He’s a total shit and should be in jail.

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Exactly. I wrote about this a while ago. When did so many people start believing that we learn everything that matters in school? It’s one of the issues causing poor juvenile mental health. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk #EduSky yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/health/...

Interesting… from @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

This is a tragedy& I would guess has much to do with the ghastly transmit& test Gove curriculum in state schools that focuses relentlessly on the rudiments of science, maths, phonics& grammar, squeezing out everything creative. #EduSky www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Oh, we see the way Trump plays the game, Mr Hesgeth. You’re just disgusting the rest of the world with your cruelty & cynicism. Reagan/Thatcher dinosaurs calculating the price of everything & knowing the value of nothing. Go away. apple.news/Aqey60kLLTd-...

That’s what I’d guess, yes. If Johnson and Trump had managed to be PM and President at the same time and Covid hadn’t happened, it would have worked as planned.

@meidastouch.com This is so intertwined with Trump and his links with Putin and Russia in 2016 and now.

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

For all my colleagues who want to be on Donald Trump's 'good side' - just remember: There's more room under the Trump Bus than on it.

This. And was the Scottish Indyref in 2014 used to test the methods used in 2016?
