Don’t let them gaslight you.

So, Farage is a spokesperson for Trump and Trump is a spokesperson for Putin. It’s, quite ironically, like a game of Russian dolls. Except instead of dolls they’re ugly treacherous cunts.

Civil disobedience is often necessary. Thank you Chris Kluwe.#civil disobedience

Imagine you wrote a school principal known as 'the head from hell', the kind of cold-hearted sociopath who does interviews about how much he likes giving children Saturday detentions, and you called him Ebenezer. You'd be killed. You'd be murdered by the writing police. And they'd be right to do it.

Trump doesn’t give a shit about peace just plundering the natural resources of bombed, raped and pillaged lands. He’s a common thief stealing from corpses in the wreckage whilst siding with the perpetrator and there’s not enough words in the English language to describe how much I hate the bastard.

Quite obvious:

Kind of mind blowing thread here 👇🏻

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

2025 - the year property development met ethnic cleansing.

This !!

Richard Nixon was impeached because he had some agents putting surveillance in a hotel room. Elon Musk has literally taken over the Government. ...Nothing. America is lost.

Trump is capitalism in human form, stripped of its disguises. The violent seizure of other people's resources, the exploitation of other people's catastrophes, the predatory gleam in the psychopath's eye. #Gaza #Genocide

“Make no mistake, what’s happening right now is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private agency operating with a broad mandate and no concerns for the stability of the United States or the interests of the average American.”

You know what? The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico. Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed. But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

One tiny, private act of resistance: reading long, old books. Feels subversive to a) pay sustained attention to b) something that can't be monetized.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

We all know what’s going on with Trump, Musk, Reform, some Tories, we all know it’s far right. We all know it echoes Naziism. The bills being introduced in the US are horrifying.Those actively supporting or ignoring it are pitiful cowards. Never be a bystander. @frauloewenherz

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.

Doesn’t get more conclusive than this.

The Resistance is strong! #Resist

A warm 'welcome' message for the orange felon 😁 I wish more politicians would say what they mean and be as straight talking as Canadian MP, Charlie Angus...

From midnight tonight until next Saturday morning, there's no TV, no Internet, no Social Media, no nothing for me. Symbolic protest is better than none at all. #5DayBLACKOUT

While it has fallen somewhat into disrepair the former home of Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, Gregynog Hall, is still a legacy Wales should be proud of | Irram Irshad

Isabel Oakeshott (went to same school as King Charles) has moved to tax haven Dubai, such is her love of UK. Give me strength Boyfriend Tice's family built skyscrapers there Reform UK Ltd aka RICH KIDS fooling those who have nothing...but filling them with hatred of others who have nothing either

This is an excellent piece!

Read and weep, This from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social, if you want some insight as to what will happen following Trump’s inauguration on Monday. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

The UK’s housing costs are sucking life out of our economy youtu.be/yMB9HsJCWmg?... The UK has housing costs 44% more than in similar countries. That means instead of fueling growth and providing for children, the younger people who pay these costs are fueling growing inequality.

The Telegraph who hate illegal immigrants, advising Brits how to be illegal immigrants.

It’s puzzling isn’t it, how a man who is incapable of spending all his money in his lifetime has decided to dedicate his life to making things as terrible as possible for those who haven’t a penny to rub together. What’s the motivation for that? Because there has to be a point where greed ends.

@chrisgpackham.bsky.social took these pics of foxes fighting (or mating?) on the roof opposite my house in Brighton this morning! #foxoftheday
