This is brutal. Donald Trump is only interested in money and power. President Zelenskyy is trying to save his people and country. Russia and US have agreed to carve-up Ukraine, Russia getting territory and US getting mineral wealth. Trump is no ally for any country.

Withdraw the state visit invitation to Trump. Offer one to Zelensky instead. With bells and fucking whistles.

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.

A timely moment to remember that Donald Trump dodged the draft & JD Vance wondered a few short years ago whether he would turn out to be 'America's Hitler'...

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

One of my ancestors grew up speaking a foreign language and living in this country. I'd ask him what he thought about this. Except he's buried in Imphal war graves cemetery.

Are we starting to see now? He's a madman. He's an idiot. An old man pissing himself in the corner of a room, muttering paranoid fantasies about his imaginary enemies. Ignore it until it happens. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

I'd say the biggest forces "undermining our nation from within" are the fake patriots loudly cheering on these attacks on our country by a hostile foreign government

On a more serious note today is one of those days in the calendar when sometimes it’s not all love and roses. If some of this sounds familiar get in contact with refuge or safe lives. refuge.org.uk/i-need-help-...

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Kemi Badenoch was born British in December 1980, as her parents came here for the birth & returned to Nigeria Just before Margaret Thatcher abolished birthright citizenship in the 1981 British Nationality Act (from 1983) Her new proposal is to wait 15 years for citizenship, not 6.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

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)

This feels like how Trump 2 will be internationally, overwhelmingly seen through his domestic prism. Hope not to anger the godfather for survival. Superpower reduced to mafia state.

Mark E. Smith, founder of influential post-punk group The Fall, died #OTD 2018, aged 60. An unhappy shipping clerk at Salford docks who was spurred into forming the group, he was a complex maverick whose band involved 60 musicians over 42 years.

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays. Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Don't let Elon Musk make Nigel Farage look moderate by comparison. Both are trading off the exact same politics of hate. The only difference between them is that while Farage judged it would be bad for his career to associate with a criminal thug like Tommy Robinson, Musk is too far gone to care
