We are witnessing the Adolf Hitler playbook unfolding right before our eyes. Yet, people are nonchalant about it.

🇫🇷 French President Macron is convening European leaders for an emergency summit in Paris on Monday. Leaders will discuss challenges posed by Trump’s approach. EU officials confirm the meeting, but the attendee list remains unclear. www.politico.eu/article/macr...

Bluesky is now a refuge from X for us all With individuals and large organisations leaving X in droves, Bluesky seems to be the social media platform of choice to emigrate to centralbylines.co.uk/opinion/blue...

Trump says he doesn't know anything about this and told the reporter that asked him that he doesn't know what he is talking about. Which in Trump terms means it's going to happen. #TrumpIsUnfit #ImpeachTrump

A 30-year cybersecurity veteran finds the activities of DOGE thus far alarming. Especially its broad mandate across gov't, seemingly nonexistent oversight, & the apparent lack of operational competence of its employees. Important & well-written article! No pay wall.

Europe's far-right political leaders have praised Donald Trump and said they wanted to "Make Europe Great Again" as they met in Madrid. - Backed by billionaire Musk… news.sky.com/story/europe...

If we want to avoid American products we can certainly change our wine and spirits purchases. There are plenty of alternatives.

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

“The version of the virus that has been circulating in cows has been clade 2.3.4.4b genotype B3.13. The version found in the Nevada cows was genotype D1.1.” This is alarming because the two serious human cases recently (British Columbia and Louisiana) were D1.1

Israel follows the footsteps of the US and leaves the UN Human Rights Council. And, I wonder why they would do that.

I don’t buy the idea that the Gaza comments are designed to distract us from the coup. Because not long ago the same people said that the coup comments were designed to distract us from something else. He is chaotic *and* corrupt. There is no pattern or plan. Nothing is impossible.

Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, "What President Trump proposes is nonsense, it's unlawful" "People talk of ethnic cleansing, no, this is worse" "He's inciting to commit forced displacement which is an international clime"

JUST IN: Saudi Arabia will not establish ties with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state, the foreign ministry said in a statement following the Trump/Netanyahu press briefing.

‘The USA will take over the Gaza Strip. We’ll make it something wonderful with real estate, and create jobs for those close to the area…’ This is Donald Trump 30 seconds after saying that the Palestinians need to fuck off somewhere else as the Gaza Strip is bad luck 🤷‍♂️ This hurts my head

2014 Russia won't invade Ukraine 2016 Brexit won't happen 2016 Trump won't become President. 2022 Russia won't invade Ukraine 2024 Trump won't become President 2029 Farage won't become PM... Complacency and overconfidence are among our most dangerous enemies.

The president calls for ethnic cleansing, again. “U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Palestinians have no alternative but to leave Gaza and he would like to see neighboring countries Jordan and Egypt take the displaced Palestinians.” www.reuters.com/world/palest...

Senator Chris Murphy, "When we open up the Senate every single morning, we don't pledge allegiance to the billionaires" "We don't pledge allegiance to Elon Musk" "We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22 year olds working for Elon Musk" "We pledge allegiance to the Unites States of America"

We are all seriously under-reacting (please read): 🧵 My brother-in-law owns a small helicopter company in rural Northwestern Ontario, Canada. They are typically hired for odd jobs - hydro, firefighting, deliveries, etc. In December, when Trump announced the tariff threats, his… (1/3)

In the latest “Trump will strengthen the West” news, overnight the President started a trade war in North America.

I just added my pronouns to my bio. Seems like an act of resistance now.

Somehow we got to the point where millions of American Republicans love Vladimir Putin and hate Canada.

BREAKING NEWS: Canada’s BC Liquor Distribution Branch will immediately stop buying American liquor from red states, including Whisky and Bourbon, and will have the top-selling “red-state” brands removed from its shelves.

For everyone who voted for Trump because “he’s not a politician”… I hope your next colonoscopy is done by a plumber.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

If your "strength" relies on attacking vulnerable minorities, then it is not strength. Real strength is standing shoulder to shoulder with the vulnerable, even when things are tough.

REPORTER: You promised to reduce costs, and so many of the products that would be tariffed, the outgoing country is not paying the tariff, the buyers in the US pay that and it's passed on to consumers TRUMP: There could be some temporary short-term disruption, and people will understand that

🙄

🇺🇸⚡️🇪🇺 Trump announced new trade tariffs against the European Union and import tariffs on semiconductors, likely targeting China and, to a greater extent, Taiwan. He also stated that the Panama Canal will inevitably come under U.S. control.

🇪🇺🚫🇺🇸 Trump announced the introduction of trade tariffs against the EU… 😳 He also said he would impose tariffs on microchips and semiconductors. He also said that the tariffs for the EU would be “very significant.” 🇵🇦❗️Panama Canal will definitely come under the control of the United States, — Trump

If undocumented immigrants are arriving in America to freeload and steal, how come so many are being arrested at work? Gift link. 🔗

Here are the updated "daily color stripes" with data through from January 1, 1940 to January 28, 2025. For anyone paying attention, the current 30-day global surface temperature anomaly is 1.76°C above the pre-industrial baseline.

Adam Schiff points out that it sure seems like Kash Patel is lying under oath when he claims he didn't have anything to do with recording the January 6 choir

And there my friends is the problem. God forbid people might actually know a lot on the subject, temper their opinions with some facts and might even move the discussion forward.

Georgia protestors continue to resist the corrupt pro-Kremlin government that stole their election, it's now day 64 and protests are stronger than ever.

Please share widely 🙏

A workforce discombobulated by chaotic recent events receives an email with the subject line "Fork in the Road." Inside, a deadline to quit or commit to the new mission. That's the scenario Twitter employees faced in Nov. 2022 — and the one now confronting some 2.3 million government workers.

Neo-Nazis are congregating again in Hungary this February for a two day concert. The event is organised by a branch of a far-right network the UK suspects of “terrorist activities”… @colborne.bsky.social investigates… www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/01...

9 days ago trump was warned firing 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head, and 3,000 air traffic controllers would put aviation security at risk apnews.com/article/coas...

Donald Trump doubles down on the lie that $50 million was spent sending condoms to Gaza. He now says they're being sent "to Hamas" and that they're using them as a "method of making bombs." This man is a global laughingstock.

Morning all! ☕️ Have a look at that. Beautiful.
