Can you BLAME HIM?! 👇 No? Didn’t think so. 😎✨

“Since Putin is clearly set on continuing the war while dividing the West…threats (by America) to walk away only incentivise him to carry on. It is a counter-productive approach in defiance of all recent experience of bringing peace talks to a successful conclusion.” A must-read: virg.in/4jCtvUE

🙋🏻‍♂️ if you are NOT OK with @JDVance ordering UKRAINE to SURRENDER to Russia OR ELSE we will no longer support them. This is extortion and abuse of power. Vance issues Ukraine ultimatum after Rubio snubs key London meeting www.cnn.com/2025/04/23/e...

Huge shoutout to everyone this is what a global boycott looks like. Tesla just reported a staggering 71% drop in profits compared to Q1 of 2024. It’s working. Keep the pressure on.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

FEMA has wiped their website of a bunch of courses- one of which is: IS-368.a—Including People With Disabilities in Disaster Operations If it wasn't clear yet- these people aren't just ideological, they are barbaric.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Numbers are huge at the trans rights march and demo in Edinburgh. Good to see loads of @ucu.org.uk comrades here.

One of the many things that so bewilders and saddens me about her campaign is that this seems a peculiarly UK/US obsession. Travel in Scandinavia and you will notice almost all loos are open to and used by all. Indicative of a very different attitude, surely. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈😟

The UK supreme court has gutted the legal recognition of trans people. They also recognized the concept of sex based rights which is just absurd. There's no such thing as sex based rights. There is the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex. www.cbsnews.com/news/uk-supr...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

This will feel devastating to the Trans community in the UK. Their human rights and safe spaces must also be protected . It shouldn’t be an either/or situation. 😢🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 www.theguardian.com/law/live/202...

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

“History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce.” — Karl Marx

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Great to see mass protest at last! #resist #Indivisible #Trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
