"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

Starmer confirming the UK is willing to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. An immense moment. Hard to overstate how important this is or how impressive it is that he's done it.

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Imagine the shit a woman would get if she dared bring her toddler, on her shoulders, into the White House Oval Office for a press conference…

Never mind the utter moral squalor of this, it's also spectacularly stupid geopolitics. It will inevitably lead to large scale terror attacks on US targets, reignite a full-scale war between US and the Muslim world, and between Iran and Israel. Batshit crazy. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

🧵/ To inform the #LengReview, Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social has just published an extraordinarily important rapid review of the available research on PAs & AAs in the UK. Its key findings appear to be extremely important (& concerning):

Today is #NationalFunAtWorkDay AND it's Friday so it's a good day to share some of our favourite old #BookFaceFriday photographs when we were having a LOT of fun at work. 📚🤳😂

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump’s vicious nonsense.

Democrats are not going down without a fight. In fact, we’re going to take it all back, bit by bit, because we’re pissed off and motivated as hell.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Grimly fascinating. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Here we go. The start of the chaos. Immigrants treated like pollution. Ordinary consumers in US and elsewhere hammered by tariffs. Escalating rhetoric. Breakdown in international cooperation. And all of it achieving precisely nothing. Just a fucking waste of time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj...

Big tech is now formally in league with the far-right. The resistance to it will be personal and political iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-res...

As best you can, ignore him.

Actual bumper sticker that you can actually buy.

Even though most of us will probably never lead the charge, we all have a vital role to play in this battle before us. "Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star." ~ MLK

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

"A billionaire bully shouldn’t be able to use his social media platform as a propaganda tool to amplify lies and advance the cause of the far right. Nor should social media companies be able to evade responsibility for algorithms that maximise and monetise hate" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's no Felon without elon...

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

What was it that first attracted Musk and Trump to the sparsely populated island rich in rare metals and minerals? #Greenland
