Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

My new post mapping out 69 actions that President Trump has taken in the last twelve weeks to undermine democracy, undermine the rule of law, attack enemies, suppress dissent and control information. Do read and share. Full 🧵 tomorrow hopefully! christinapagel.substack.com/p/a-republic...

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

We've been talking an awful lot about how the Trump tariffs will hit the big players: the UK, China, Canada, France, Germany etc But it's time to talk about the ones who DON'T have loud voices. Because some of the poorest countries in the world are going to be crippled by what happened last night

Covid five years on From the new Private Eye, out now.

Matt's latest funny, true and sad all at same time vid is out. And its another good 'un. 😆

Worth a follow. This senator understands exactly what Trump is up to.

124 days of the non-stop mass protests in Georgia. Stronger than ever. Those who yearn for justice, liberty, and democracy never surrender. #GeorgiaProtests #TerrorInGeorgia (📹 @nuka21.bsky.social ‬ )

Fresh from endorsing the German far right, Musk is now defending the French far right. When people show you they are, believe them the first time.

What a country. Handmaid’s Tale in action. Women voted for this??

Does anyone remember this scene from Handmaid's Tale from 2017 😏👇 didn't wake up then 😏

Everyone you know, should know who is funding Farage www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/696...

BREAKING: Trump signs an executive order attempting to make changes to U.S. election procedures and threatens funding cuts to states that do not comply. The order is likely to be swiftly challenged in court by voting rights groups.

If there were an agency dedicated to finding corruption, fraud and waste in the federal government, it would start right here.

🔴 For *four years* officials refused to release names of all companies linked to Conservative donors and party figures put in the 'VIP' lane for bumper Covid contracts Now a judge has ordered them to. Huge win for @jennacorderoy.bsky.social (and DfS) democracyforsale.substack.com/p/government...

In case anyone missed this!

Dear allies, the investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for setting fires to shopping centres in Vilnius and Warsaw are the Russian secret services. Good to know before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state.

This also seen in London.

Over 370 leading broadcasters including Jonathan Dimbleby, Sangita Myska, Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Alex Crawford have condemned @RTS_media for its last-minute decision to cancel a Special Award for journalists in Gaza, demanding its reinstatement (1/5) artistsforpalestine.org.uk/2025/03/12/l...

I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier. I asked him what he thought about the recent change in US policy. His response in English was, “What the fuck.”

Growing number of experts say that Trump is providing Russia with intelligence against Ukraine. Russian forces in Kursk miraculously had extremely precise coordinates for Ukrainian troop locations, logistics and ammo depots in Kursk after Trump cut off aid. A day before Russia was on the back foot.

This description of the current situation by French senator Claude Malhuret is worth watching in full. "This is not merely an illiberal drift. It is the beginning of seizure of a democracy." ~AA youtu.be/QIK9vbQRwBQ?...

The expanded video of that Richard Tice car crash, during Reform UK's launch in Scotland, is somehow even funnier with subtitles. - "What are their surnames?" - "John and Ross." - "What councils are they from?" - "John and Ross. Next question?" ~AA

You stupid, opportunistic, traitorous bastards. You’ve all done such unforgivable harm to our country, risking our safety, prosperity and wellbeing in your nasty, populist cravings for power. You stink of him. Shame on you all forever.
