Oh dear oh dear oh dear: “In a statement submitted to the court on Friday, Bessent warned that suspending the administration’s tariffs would “lead to dangerous diplomatic embarrassment,” interrupt ongoing negotiations and pose risks of retaliation from other countries.” lite.cnn.com/2025/08/29/b...
Me: "Anera is wrong? Christian Aid is wrong? The Danish Refugee Council is wrong? The Norwegian Refugee Council is wrong? Doctors Without Borders is wrong? Save the Children is wrong? Oxfam is wrong? 100 aid groups are all wrong? Do you realize how silly you sound?"
Absolute bollocks. No resources, a rigid, uninspiring curriculum, cuts to youth provision & it's 'over diagnosis' that's the problem. My young one thrived when her challenges had a label because she realised she wasn't stupid or wrong. Still smashing it. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Newson far from the man you would want running the country but he's the man for the moment on socials.
The paint on the Mexico side of the wall is so much prettier
We're definitely entering an era where the Internet is so hollowed out, so untrustworthy and compromised, that real world interactions, things identifiably done by human beings, will take on greater value and purpose.
All of this. All those investigations of Trump and Putin. None on the puppet masters playing the long game behind the scenes
How long before the world powers realise they are enabling this autocrat? He only has power because they acquiesce to that perception. Withdraw cooperation, restructure trade routes. The world is big enough without the US
TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ - Israel just bombed Nasser Hospital again as they were trying to recover bodies after a bombing that had killed 15. Live on air.
Sign all the petitions but also write to your MP. Call their offices relentlessly. Demand action. Threaten to withdraw your vote at the next election. Do anything you can to stop this slaughter!
This is the only way it will work for everyone.
And that thinking is no longer relevant. Every young person I know is pooling their allegiance elsewhere because they see the game the hypocrisy and above all what they perceive as 'weakness'.
Great photoessay. #anime www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...
The big island getting into fleg culture..... You couldn't write this shit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Virtue signalling. Airdrops are the least efficient method of breaking starvation. They know that. We know that so they know that and yet.....
It is not 'war' it is genocide, it is not 'famine' it's starvation. Language is everything and people should be clear on all the proper definitions by now, especially the media #stopthegenocide
Dr. Mimi Syed, an American emergency physician, speaks out after Israel barred her entry into Gaza for a medical mission: "The little bit of relief that us foreign doctors can provide, that has also been revoked and taken away from them. And it’s nothing but cruelty."
Good news for women but spare me the hypocrisy of the editor's piece. There is no media organisation in this country that hasn't failed women www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego has been RELEASED from prison and is headed home to Maryland to be with his family. Judge Xinis has an order in place requiring a 72 hour notice if ICE decides to detain and deport him to a third country. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
ICE got a lot of small dick energy going on
NEW: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that operations at the controversial detention facility Alligator Alcatraz must begin to wind down, ordering state and federal officials to stop transferring detainees there and relocate current detainees within 60 days.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
We are officially boycotting Marriot hotels now. Spread the word. They have allowed ICE to hold migrants in their hotels awaiting deportation.
Today's the day. Keep your money on your pocket and in your account. For today and every Thursday until Israel stops it's genocide do not spend any money, don't do any financial transactions. Let the world and each other know that we have some power and are prepared to use it. #strike4Gaza
This Palestinian boy was shot in the leg by Israeli forces after retrieving aid. He was brought to Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital, still holding the bottle of cooking oil he managed to pick up at the site.

Over the weekend, the “sandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance. A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.

BREAKING: At least 11 Palestinians, including four aid seekers, have been killed in Israeli attacks across the besieged Gaza Strip since dawn this morning, report our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/cavsw3
Something we should really think about is that "the children we are starving to death were already sick" isn't supposed to be some kind of exculpatory defense, it's an attempt to inject the idea that it's okay to kill people who are sick or diseased or disabled into mainstream conversation
It doesn't get any easier than standing outside your front door, banging a pot for five minutes to protest the mass starvation of a people. 6pm today. Just do it.
They want to overturn the same sex marriage ruling. Next up will be women’s right to vote. Project 2025 has underestimated women’s capabilities to mobilize and fight, because hell hath no fury like a woman scorned 🔥 “We are the granddaughters of the witches that you could not burn”
The silence of the United States media on the murder of Al Jazeera journalists in a targeted attack by Netanyahu & the IDF speaks to the lack of integrity that now pervades our media. To date, Netanyahu & the IDF have murdered over 200 journalists & their families. The cowardice is telling
This is fucking real. This is a live Texas DPS line I just called and wasted about 40 seconds of their time. Do your thing, good people...
The first journalist to just say “what the actual fuck are you talking about?” to the president should get a Pulitzer.

People are showing up in D.C. !! Get to D.C. now! #3E #FreeDC #USprotests #DCprotests “Trump Must Go Now”
Protesters are flooding DC streets to demand two things: that the National Guard be recalled and that the Epstein files be released. We stand with you, DC!
The shooter in Austin was captured alive and the cops are already saying he has a history of mental health issues, so the added detail of "white" is probably unnecessary. www.kut.org/crime-justic...
MAGA says Dem-run cities/states are “crime-ridden and dangerous.” Reality: GOP states lead every crime metric — not even close. Today’s Austin mass shooting is a drop in the bucket for red state crime. Trump’s DC takeover is clearly an Epstein distraction and martial law rehearsal.
President Snow defining the capital. He could end up with a coup on his hands. Members of the National Guard apparently already unhappy with this type of deployment. Man needs to be stopped www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Man like Ibrahim. Need to be keeping an eye on how this unfolds. Seeing what is possible
Despicable, the murders and equally despicable that it has taken this long for the other 232 killed before to get a mention.
DOUBLE PELICAN DIVE AFTER SUNSET!!!! wooooo! What a way to end the week! time to sleep and prepare for the horrors and joys of the next one 🪶
YOUR MONEY AT WORK: J.D. Vance flew his whole family to the UK on our fucking dime and still couldn’t get a proper welcome at Chevening House. Even the Brits know a cheap MAGA con when they see one.
I don't think Western liberals often realise how fucking hypocritical they all are. And it's the kinda obvious hypocrisy that makes them look extremely stupid and senseless. Yeah, bruh! Praising Russians taking to the streets, while arresting British folks for PEACEFULLY protesting genocide. Wow!
I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. My gas mask paid for itself within the first minute the ice agents came out of the building. They escalated to this immediately, like it was a war zone- flash bombs, various gasses… #fightfascism #fuckice
Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.
Civil rights activists in Derry being trolled by the Police Service Northern Ireland in an overt act of intimidation. You do not send letters like these to a people who saw internment. They will not be cowed.
BREAKING: London police arrested 150 demonstrators supporting the banned Palestine Action group.
Thousands turn out to protest ridiculous designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist group.
What is probably the most common barrier disabled people face when it comes to managing and living their best QoL, is also one of the easiest to solve if people actually wanted to: Having enough money for the things and support they need. It is eminently & easily solvable.
Do you have Irish roots? The Irish govt is looking for your feedback! Please complete the survey to inform engagement between Ireland & the 70 million or so Irish living outside of the island! www.ireland.ie/en/irish-dia... Please share!
This is true
"Indonesia is undertaking the world's largest deforestation project in occupied West Papua. 50,000 Indigenous people will be displaced. We need to pay more attention to the West Papuan liberation struggle." Bruh! Fuck those genocidal ghouls that are the Indonesian government. Fuck 'em! Seriously!!
It’s great that now that Palestine is entirely rubble all our leaders and the surrounding countries have the guts to *whisper* that it’s a genocide and call to stop supplying arms! We can’t ever stop a genocide if it’s only a genocide in hindsight, and you condemned everyone who tried to name it.
There are no deals that this reprobate will ever abide by. He is a narcissist and every single one of you countries trying to do deals with him are his supply. Nothing more. The only cure is to get out of the relationship, find other relationships. There's a whole world out there to choose from!
Hmm, what do ‘central camps’ and ‘final plan’ remind you of? 🤷🏽♂️👇🏽

I happened to notice this post of mine from 2019. It’s stunning to realize how clear the agenda was then that he’s advancing with deeper hostility now.

That feeling of joy when you go to buy a book that's genuinely blowing your mind for a friend & they tell you it's having another print run cos it's sold out. Right time, right book. Goliath's Curse by Luke Kemp. Big learning about ourselves & the myth of our perceived powerlesness. #GoliathsCurse

Still watching. And waiting. Cos this week not go away. Too many lives riding on decisions they may make www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/no-genu... #PIP
Behind every draconian decision, there's secret evidence ("detailed security assessments") we're not allowed to see. We should just suck it up and believe them. Sorry, Yvette Cooper, that's not how democracy should work. When you make a decision of such consequence, we need to see the basis for it.

One of the highly specific problems of communicating in support of Palestine is that the general public has been so conditioned to accept that the issue is "complicated" that they will intuitively resist any attempt to understand how shallow the Zionist position really is.
And what do men owe women? Respect? Equality? Reproductive freedom? Accountability for centuries of exploitation and violence? If you’re going to preach “duty,” let’s talk about the duties men have long abandoned while demanding obedience from women. This reeks of patriarchal control.👇
CEO pay: ⬆️ 1,085% Worker pay: ⬆️ 24% Since 1978. But somehow the phrase we never hear is: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO more.” Funny how that works.
They took the video down—so I’m posting it here. AJ was just doing his job. Then they started yelling racist slurs—on camera. He filmed them. They didn’t care. No shame. Just hate. That’s where we are.
