Good piece. ⬇️ We're often taken aback when women, minorities or socialists back Fascist parties. But if we're going to meet the challenge of the far-right, we need to understand its ability to reach unlikely parts of the public. In the 1930s, that included a number of militant suffragettes. [1/9]

The news on the Youth Mobility Scheme is fantastic to see. It now feels like we could get some real momentum underway in the lead-up to the May summit.

“Mr Lammy, who is trying to insult our leaders and our country very many times in recent weeks and months.” Russia Ambassador to the UK, Andrei Kelin, tells @vicderbyshire.bsky.social that Russia is not “interested” in London playing any role in a peace process or settlement. #Newsnight

Russian forces have sustained vehicle and artillery system losses on the battlefield that are unsustainable in the medium- to long-term given the limitations of Russia's defense industrial capacity and Soviet-era weapons and equipment stocks. (1/3) isw.pub/RussiaWeakness

Pride in STEM is looking for a couple of trustees. It's a tough old time in the charity sector, triply so in the overlap between that and LGBTQIA+ & STEM, but it is immensely rewarding. There's more info at the link but feel free to approach me if you want to know more! 🏳️‍🌈🧪🧑‍🔬👷‍♀️👨‍🔧🔭🏳️‍⚧️

The other half of my wide field Orion image, a crop of the Orion and Running Man nebulae. Sorry, mistake in my last post, these were taken with the Optolong L-Quad Enhance broadband filter. Stunning detail from the tiny Redcat!✨🔭 #astrophotography

And apparently Trump describes this awful war as the war by Ukraine on Russia. What a frighteningly deluded, dangerous and worrying man he is.

Young stars tantrums are quite violent, as you may already know. Here are some example as seen by the JWST! 🔭 This is HOPS383, in Orion, and its surroundings. You can spot different new stars in the making, at the centre of each jets that can be seen here and there. HD: flic.kr/p/2qMyQKC

My thoughts on the Russian-American talks on Ukraine, without Ukraine. The simplest interpretation of the available facts is that the Americans are using Russian violence to try to exploit Ukraine. snyder.substack.com/p/peace-or-p...

I’m sorry. You can’t conduct “peace talks” with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine without Ukraine at the table.

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

Depressing but completely unsurprising. Where women are forced to join up with men's clubs, we see the same issues time and again: Treated as second-class citizens Inequitable access to resources *Men's clubs get gov grants, but don't spend the money on the women www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

I welcome the agreement on our 16th package of sanctions. The EU is clamping down even harder on circumvention by targeting more vessels in Putin’s shadow fleet and imposing new import and export bans. We are committed to keep up the pressure on the Kremlin.

Disappointed to hear Ed Davey using the term Family Farm Tax to describe the very favourable IHT terms available to agricultural land. There are lots of small family run businesses in the UK, chippies, corner shops etc, they aren't exempt from IHT and don't have favourable terms.

Marco Rubio is a hypocrite. He claims to believe in the Bible but he doesn’t throw out his furniture after it has been sat upon by a menstruating woman, as ordered in Leviticus.

Many recent Russian statements show that Putin remains uninterested in engaging in good faith negotiations and retains his objective of destroying the Ukrainian state while the Kremlin has offered no public indication that it would materially compromise.

Despite feeling crushingly bleak within myself, I did just notice that it’s 5pm and not dark. Well done to everyone else that made it through the horrifically oppressive darkness of the past four months. The light is gradually returning. This will hopefully all feel a bit easier with sun.
