As the Guardian reports 'researchers from China are to be allowed access to half a million 'UK' GP records', some important facts: talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2024/09/22/a...

Wow! HHS is hitting new levels of recklessness and incompetence… U.S. citizens are being threatened with deportation by Homeland Security. Nicole Micheroni isn’t just a citizen—she’s an immigration attorney. And she got a notice to leave the country within 7 days.

Smart strategy: "The compact's funds would be distributed to provide immediate and strategic support to any member institution under direct political or legal infringement, including legal counsel, expert testimony, legislative advocacy and countersuit actions..." www.idsnews.com/article/2025...

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

POTUS showing true colour. Evil unchained.

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

Words fail

The SKY is FALLING!🌪 🚨This is SO ALARMING! 🚨Trump IS COMING FOR AMERICANS! 🚨He admitted it. It could be business rivals or his allies' rivals. It could be journalists. It could be us. Start knocking on your neighbors' doors & taking their temperature🌡 🗽Will you fight for democracy?📢Get loud!

🔥 Buckle up. Tonight’s WTF, America?! comes with fascist hot mics, flaming hate crimes, butterfingered Senators, and one university that actually grew a spine. There’s a timeline cleanser to soothe your soul—and a call to action so you can fight back. Let’s ride.

If you do not care that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was disappeared into a foreign torture camp in violation of his most basic human rights or those given him by the U.S. Constitution. Then don’t expect anyone to care when that black bag goes over your head, or the heads of your children.

My piece in The Guardian this morning: EU race to rearm is pointless if hostile foreign powers can still use online algorithms to boost authoritarians to power across Europe. Europe’s new “Democracy Shield” should immediately shut them down. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

‼️

So there’s a YouTube video floating around about how to live in a fascist USA…NO! Stop it, we aren’t going along with this fascist shit. Get in the streets. Protest however you can. Wherever you can. Targeted protests? Even better #Voices4Victory

DEAREST UNDOCUMENTED FRIENDS & ANYONE ON WORK / SCHOOL VISAS OR GREEN CARDS -- YOU ARE NOT SAFE! TRUMP'S GESTAPO -- AKA ICE -- IS AFTER YOU!!! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! HERE IS YOU DEPORTATION DEFENSE MANUAL ⬇️ 🙏 @maketheroadny.bsky.social for providing this crucial support and info 🙏

He is not wrong @georgemonbiot.bsky.social This was highlighted also by the wonderful @mrjamesob.bsky.social today. The way that the media works today hand in hand with social media platforms reach the younger, more impressionable voter far better than at any time in political history. #BBCBias

Who else SUPPORTS Senator Van Hollen?! 🤚

Unfortunately #AOC is right about this. It's not just Trump #safedemocracy #dumpoligarchy #stopracism

Demons doing their Satanic rituals at Al-Aqsa mosque!🤬 Video: Israelis Attempt to Sacrifice Animals at Al-Aqsa Mosque qudsnen.co/video-israel...

🤷🏼

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

Canada out here dropping truth bombs on us 🇨🇦

What remains when courts no longer carry weight, when moral appeals drown in the applause of power, when a man vanishes in the name of political expediency? Then the rule of law dies, not with a bang, but with a handshake. Say his name…Kilmar Abrego Garcia

100%😂

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...
