IF THE PRICE OF A TRADE DEAL WITH THE US IS TRUMP TELLING US WHAT DO, WE DON’T WANT IT! We need to leave America alone right now. We shouldn’t be negotiating with Trump’s morons. What we should be doing is rejoining the SM & CU. Can we have some common sense please?

Physics humor is timeless.

In the shadow of the recent court decision, hopefully it comes out in my writing but: trans rights are human rights and 'biological sex' is a complex non-binary phenomenon.

And if they had the power to spring Tate out of Romania, they have the power to spring Abrego García out of El Salvador.

People of Dickson, people all over Australia, if you can, why not donate to a campaign to take Dutton’s seat? This would be one of the most beautiful moments in the history of Australian politics. #Dickson #AusPol

Scotland’s housing crisis is directly impacting rural businesses, hampering their ability to hire and retain staff, says Real Food Café’s Sarah Heward. She should come along to hear about solutions at Radical Housing Conference Part 2 at Birnam Arts, Dunkeld, on 2 May. @scottwwright.bsky.social

Always excited the day before one of these - but for this one, I’m also feeling quite daunted. I *think* we’ve nailed the line-up and there is some going to be REALLY good booze - The question is, are we up to the challenge physically…?

These women are my constituents. Gangs in their home country have threatened their lives. They're detained and due to be deported next week, because of an admin error. I've been urgently trying to get them released. The Home Office must not deport them. www.nottinghampost.com/news/notting...

All Donald Trump's crap is made in China. What a shame that will be priced off the streets... Not.

After Vance's Greenland visit, Pituffik Space Force Commander Susan Meyers sent a base-wide email defending the base’s relationship with Denmark and Greenland. - No surprise: she was just fired. This administration hates strong women. apnews.com/article/gree...

Thanks so much to everyone who has shared this. Amazingly kind of you. With a bit of luck, all these books will be out of my house soon, I'll have a new publisher, this cruddy period will be firmly in my past and, most importantly of all, I'll be able to finally get down to writing my next book.

Canada is about to cut off all Government subsidies to Elon Musk's companies. The USA should too.

I am also the author of a history of concentration camps in the Soviet Union, and I concur

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.” A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/h...

Look smart, save money #sciart

None of this damage by Trump or Musk would be possible without the full and unwavering support of the Republican Party. This is like pretending that the problem with the Civil War was that Jefferson Davis thought too much of himself.

I am so concerned about the impact of corporations kowtowing to the American administration by rescinding DEI efforts that I have created a Parliamentary petition to ask the government to only make contracts with organisations where DEI is still active. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

We rent our house in Catalonia to holidaymakers. I've just been told that the guest who reserved 25/5 to 1/6 has to cancel because she's been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This saddens me. So I'm offering the week for £1050, all proceeds going to a pancreatic cancer charity. www.begurvilla.net

So Obama is trying to find new ways to fight Trump. It's time. Interesting analysis.

Kemi Badenoch has supported Israel deporting two British MP's saying, "I'm not surprised Labour MP's were removed." How utterly disgraceful.

Lots of people here in DC

Here’s a link to firm amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie, an independent judiciary, & the rule of law. We’re going to post the name of every firm that stood up to fascism & joined. Join us in applauding those firms and showing them they are seen.🧵 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
