“I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism” Stephen Fry

Hello world!

Sunday Feb 23,2025 Hereford, England This is what the sky looked like at 6.50am this morning. It was beautiful. I actually had to pinch my cheek. I thought I might be dreaming.

A democratically-run political party. Wow, what a radical idea. Nigel Farage claims to have handed Reform UK over to its members, however the leader still has huge amount of control and cannot be easily removed. The Green Party is run democratically by our members. Join today ⤵️

I keep seeing DEI being called an ideology when it is not, and the white supremacy that is replacing it not being called an ideology, when it really is. That shit goes back centuries.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

I don't think people here have forgotten the murder of Andrei Litvinenko nor the chemical weapons attack in Salisbury that killed one British citizen, left others gravely ill & recklessly risked the lives & health of hundreds.

Heute ist der letzte Tag unserer Ausstellung im Hamburger Rathaus „Ausgeraubt vor der Deportation. NS-Verfolgte im Fokus der Hamburger Finanzverwaltung“ www.gedenkstaetten-hamburg.de/de/veranstal...

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

The nazis killed thousands of LGBT because the nazis were evil hateful bastards. GB news (also evil hateful bastards) think nothing of broadcasting these disgusting views on their channel.

Make this @OfficialUoM press release viral “Trump … echoed Kremlin talking points, by falsely claiming …Zelensky’s approval rating stands at a mere 4%…polling…puts his approval rating at 63% - making him the most popular politician in the country.” www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/t...

Think solar farms are bad for nature? Think again. Those designed for nature in East Anglia are teeming with birdlife - including threatened species. A new study reveals why. ⤵️

Let's not mince words. These people are genuinely evil.

Just Vance admitting (without realising) that “dissenting views” are the reason for Trumps press purge. #Fascism #Trump #USA

⚠️ Content warning: homophobia ⚠️ We delivered over 70, 000 complaints to Ofcom’s doorstep about GB News broadcasting hate. Tag @ofcom.bsky.social in the comments to make sure they see it 👀

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Striking that so many on the Reform tendency, who have banged on for years about the need to remember the sacrifices of WW2 and policed the wearing of poppies... failed to learn any lessons from it. You don't appease dictators casting shadows on your doorstep. You fight back.

Zelensky received a standing ovation as he began speaking in Munich. “The time has come—European armed forces must be created.” A stark contrast to yesterday’s lecture on democracy.

George Monibot criticises Jacqui Smith for Labour's refusal to open safe and legal routes for asylum seekers and so avoid small boat crossings #BBCQT

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

🇬🇧 UK Defense Secretary John Healey: "There can be no negotiations about 🇺🇦 Ukraine without #Ukraine. Ukraine’s voice must be central to any talks. Our task is to put them in the strongest position to secure a lasting peace through strength." #UK #Europe 🎥 Warriors 🇺🇦

Comedy show

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Inveraray—one of Scotland’s most picturesque towns! 🏡✨ Built in the 18th century by the Duke of Argyll, it overlooks Loch Fyne and is home to Inveraray Castle. #photography #nature #art #travel #naturephotography #landscape #ArtYear #history #science #scotland

🚨🚨 #Ukrainewar: Significant Weimar+ Statement by Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, European External Action Service and @ec.europa.eu expressing the need to enhance support for Ukraine.

This is appalling. A major decision with profound implications for refugees can't even be debated in parliament. Because it's not primary or even secondary legislation it doesn't pass the attorney general's desk. Zero scrutiny. Zero accountability.

🔴 Documents Reveal UK Government’s Controversial Anti-Extremism Adviser Was Only Meant to Retain Job for Six Months EXCLUSIVE: Ministers face questions over Lord Walney’s prolonged tenure as documents reveal position was supposed to have been terminated years ago bylinetimes.com/2025/02/12/d...

Just when you thought they couldn't be any more cruel Labour have decided to block refugees arriving by small boat from becoming British citizens. This awful decision does nothing to improve the lives of people in this country. The Green Party says clearly - Refugees welcome.

12.02.1943 Heinrich Himmler inspected SS-Sonderkommando #Sobibor. He was accompanied by Odilo Globocnik, Christian Wirth, Friedrich W. Krüger, and Josef Oberhauser. Himmler wanted to personally verify the organisation of the mass murder procedure in the Sobibór extermination camp.

A British Trump tribute act could snatch power in the UK. Unwritten constitution, corporates funding parties, weak parliament, billionaire controlled press won't obstruct right-wing coup. Boris Johnson illegally prorogued parliament, now judiciary weakened. Vote wisely. archive.ph/GxpN6

Stuck ambulance.

The irony being that people most affected have probably never driven a tractor in their lives.
