Here in the UK, we had a referendum when hardly anyone wanted one. Now that most people genuinely do want one, to reverse the act of self harm that we were tricked into, we can’t have one, not yet anyway. So when? At what point do we say “enough is enough. We want our country back!”

Outrageous. Trump has told the UK that if we want tariff relief we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/No-chlor...

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.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

I agree with Trump that a President has recently launched their country into conflict against a powerful adversary without adequately preparing, properly supplying, analytically planning, or sufficiently securing the support of traditional allies. I'm just pretty sure it wasn't Zelenskyy.

'Pull your socks up Prime Minister! Abandon the timidity - it's time to soften Brexit.' It's time someone told those who were 'completely wrong' about leaving the EU to 'shut up and sit down', says @mrjamesob.bsky.social with urgency, in light of Trump's tariffs and market instability.

The EU doesn’t really do knee-jerk reactions. And when it comes to trade wars, it prepares its case, builds a consensus among its members — and saves its most painful retaliation until last. 🔗 ow.ly/JmHE50VyJsB

On this day in 1879, a Czech Jewish man was born. On the 23 Jul 1942 he was deported to the Theresienstadt Ghetto and on the 23 Oct 1944 to Auschwitz where he perished. His name was Heirich Fischl Please support @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

Incredible. One of the original authors of a paper which the Trump administration claim to have relied on to set tariffs points out that they've misapplied the original formula so that the tariffs ended up about 4x higher than they should have been. Makes Liz Truss look like a Mensa life member.

Russia's daily strikes on peaceful Ukrainian cities are pure terror. These strikes have no military objectives whatsoever. Killing children on a playground is a war crime and terrorism on the part of Russia; it cannot be seen in any other way. Putin is an international criminal and a terrorist⤵️
