Moved from twitter like a lot of people by the looks! I don’t post very often, but enjoy reading others’! It’s going to bother me whether I’ve used the apostrophe correctly there.

@privateeyenews.bsky.social on top form as usual this issue.

Justin Trudeau, "Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada. Their closest partner and ally, their closest friend" "At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin. A lying murderous dictator" "Make that makes sense"

I missed this part

Beyond belief. Is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? It’s time for our PM to pick a side

Stephen Fry, "I'm deeply worried about the darkening shadow that's going over the world, the shadow of fascism" Laura Kuenssberg, "You would use that word?" Stephen Fry, "Absolutely. It's a cult of power. And power only speaks to power"

"See, this is why we don't ask you to go out anymore, Gary"🔊🆙 📹: Edinburgh Zoo

Analysis: Trump’s 13 biggest lies of his first month back in office www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

Genuinely struggling to understand what is real and what isn’t now. Which I suppose is their aim. The world is utterly messed up. Trump, Putin, Farage. Just the tip of the iceberg. I’m just an average person trying to figure out who would support them, and I can’t.

The irony of Donald Trump posting a long series of lies on a platform called Truth social 🤷‍♂️

"WHY WON'T YOU LET ME LOVE YOU"

A man who dodged the draft & wouldn’t fight for his own country is going to hand swathes of Ukraine, who’ve fought so damned hard, to its invader. An invader who has a history of invading countries, shooting down planes, using toxic substances in other countries & rigging elections. Fucking hell.

Sophy Ridge calls out President Trump's lies, "Donald Trump said Ukraine should never have started the war, that is not true, and it should be called out"

Thought provoking 😥

Tissue alert! ❤️ Bill Conner's 20-year old daughter died, and he set out on a 2,600 mile bike journey to clear his mind This video is from when he stopped along the way, to meet the young man who received his daughter's heart 🥺😢😭 Please consider organ donation ❤️❤️❤️ 🔊 🎥Donate Life Louisiana

Yet more evidence that water companies should be back in public hands. What an indictment of failed regulation & oversight and the triumph of corporate greed 👇

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

There is no better welcome 🐾 🖤 🎥antonyt637

Absolutely spot on from Rory Stewart

This is the video you didn’t know you needed to see today 😂 🔊 Sound up! 🎥funny.animal.moments

Trump has pulled the security of former government officials we know are under threat simply because he doesn't like them. And he's done it at the same time as released a load of very angry, very violent, likely highly armed individuals who are loyal to him. It is dark stuff.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Very interesting. Would be fascinating to combine with questions about media consumption.

There is something hugely revealing in the rage that her kindness has provoked. A real “HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LOOK AT MYSELF?” vibe. And something immensely powerful in her continuing to show them up, by insisting on being kind. A beam of light piercing through. Great interview, @maddow.msnbc.com.

If you told me he was the President of Stupid Land, I'd believe you. "Use our very clean coal." "Nothing can destroy coal, not the weather, not a bomb." "Coal is very strong." "We have more coal and more oil and gas than anybody." (no they don't)

When terrible things happen it can be easy to believe the world is terrible; it's important to remember that there is far more good than evil. While there are a small number of people who commit horrific acts, there are literally millions of people who will save people from them.

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

The next four years is just going to be a long series of people confidently telling you that you didn't just see what you just saw

One act of kindness a day.

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits. The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

Ian Hislop is a sage

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy. Please don’t share.

“Will the Prime Minister work with us to bring in long overdue reforms of party funding so that power in this country lies with the voters & not wealthy overseas oligarch’s?” - Ed Davey “Of course we are looking at the question of funding more generally” - Keir Starmer #PMQs

Amazing how short some right wing memories are… news.sky.com/video/boris-...

A truth... The fight shouldn’t be between left & right It should be between the uber-wealthy who are sucking up the wealth vs the rest of us That’s the real fight And it scares oligarchs so much, they spend their money & time (e.g Musk) ensuring we fight eachother instead

Having a read through all the recent Trump posts, as witty and scathing as many of them are, it’s still depressing that the next 4 years or so are going to be utterly, utterly fucked up. Dark times ahead.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Please watch this speech by Jess Phillips in the HoC to guage how pationate she is about the victims of Child Sex Abuse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0C6...
