❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white. *Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.

Numbers and maps don’t lie. russia has captured less than 1% of Ukraine’s territory over the last 1000 days—despite suffering over a million casualties. It now occupies less than it did in March 2022. What a pathetic strategic failure!
This is really exciting. A Canadian news platform which is explicitly pro-worker and anti-fascist? Hell yes. This is exactly what we need to help counter the relentless right-wing propaganda that has infested our mostly U.S.-owned corporate media. Big thanks to @charlieangus104.bsky.social!

As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite
Kräken's post inspired me to make a meme. Save & share because it should be seen broadly & made into bumper stickers, bridge signs & flyers. ICE is a fascist Gestapo-like secret police force with poorly trained goons that violate our rights & use maximum force to unconstitutionally abduct people.
Beef prices have hit record highs this Labor Day Weekend — in part thanks to Trump's tariffs. Remember when Trump said he would bring down the cost of groceries? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?feature=shared
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

An activist told Anton’s (Georgian) wife to not worry because Anton would be out soon (nobody believes that the regime will survive for years). “Yes, but what if something happens to him in the meantime?” - she answered. Anton has a brain tumor. 📷 @mariamnikuradze.bsky.social
It is insanity that you need to explain to people that educated people moving to study somewhere and then staying in that place with their skills and training is good for a place. This has been true for all of human history. When you expel or shun your educated migrants your country declines.
After Anton Chechin’s monstrous unlawful verdict was announced, a fight broke out between the attending people and the court guards. As you can see, some were injured. #GeorgiaProtests
🔴 The twisted logic of how NATO is to blame for Russia's starting wars. 🔴 Think of it this way: you live next-door to a violent psychopath who has attacked you & all of your neighbors. 🔴 Then, you decide to reinforce your doors 🚪 and windows 🪟 🔵 YOU ARE the aggressor.

Hello again. Day 1287 of the war in Europe. It's been affecting central and western Europe for a long time now and could engulf them too soon, if unity and strong leadership are not urgently shown. With all Tuesday's Ukraine/Russia news in one handy thread, let's go again!
They are really busy so don't disturb them. They are currently scrumming with their reform colleagues on how to turn 398 seats into 4 seats. 🤷🏻♂️ #KeirStarmer stop fucking about.

11/12 Hamas official Basem Naim's response was unequivocal: 'Gaza is not for sale. Gaza is part of the greater Palestinian homeland.' The plan was leaked days after Trump met with Tony Blair about Gaza's future at the White House. #Hamas #TonyBlair
10/12 The scheme claims to require no US funding, seeking $100 billion from private investors. It envisions a bustling port city with eight AI-powered megacities competing directly with Israel's economy. A plan that defies both ethics and economics. #100Billion #Economics
Because it is. #America has gone insane.
1/12 🇺🇸 LEAKED 'GAZA RIVIERA' PLAN DISMISSED AS 'INSANE' ETHNIC CLEANSING SCHEME 🇺🇸 White House proposal would displace 2 million Palestinians and transform Gaza into high-tech megacities under US trusteeship. Peter Beaumont and Alice Speri report: #GazaRiviera #EthnicCleansing
Amerika glijdt regelrecht de autocratie in. Europa, wordt wakker: we moeten niet langer afhankelijk blijven van deze wannabe-dictator, maar ons eigen lot in handen nemen. Een sterk en democratisch Europa waarin feiten ertoe doen. nos.nl/l/2578411
Tuurlijk! 😵💫 We kunnen en zullen klimaatverandering verslaan. Oude partijen durven geen keuzes te maken en houden vast aan de status quo. Maar met een schone industrie, een nieuw voedselsysteem en een Europese klimaataanpak gaan wij een groene toekomst bouwen! www.trouw.nl/wetenschap/d...
Als je niet aan tafel zit, sta je op het menu. Niet Oekraïne, niet Europa praten vanavond over onze toekomst, maar Trump en Poetin; twee criminelen en (wannabe-)dictators. Het gevolg van de oude politiek die Europa zwak houdt. Tijd voor een nieuwe politiek die Europa verenigt en verdedigt.
Vandaag luidde 80 jaar geleden het eind van de Tweede Wereldoorlog voor het hele Koninkrijk der Nederlanden. Bijzonder om samen met zo veel mensen bij de herdenking stil te staan bij slachtoffers van de oorlog tegen Japan en de Japanse bezetting van Nederlands-Indië.
Vrijdag toonde Trump nogmaals zijn onbetrouwbaarheid door Poetin na te praten. Nu is het alle hens aan dek om te voorkomen dat agressie loont. Europa moet met 1 stem spreken om Trump weer achter Oekraïne en Europa te krijgen. In het belang van onze veiligheid. nos.nl/l/2579036
Netanyahu gaat door met zijn genocide. Ons kabinet staat erbij en kijkt ernaar. Laat de minister morgen voor het Kamerdebat nog met nieuwe sancties komen. Onacceptabel als Veldkamp niet direct in actie komt. nos.nl/l/2579031#UP...
Genoeg is genoeg. De minister maakt geen enkele beweging om nieuwe sancties in te stellen. Al maanden doet dit kabinet vrijwel niks tegen de genocide van Netanyahu. Als de minister vandaag geen nieuwe sancties aankondigt, dan is het voor Volt klaar en steunen wij een motie van wantrouwen.
Niet morgen, maar vandaag. Volt is klaar met het constante uitstel. Het ‘nog even aankijken en overleggen’. Als het leed van Gaza je écht aangaat, dan ga je vandaag met de betrokken ministers om tafel en regel je het. Als je dat morgen pas doet, moet je niet rekenen op het vertrouwen van de Kamer.
Een kabinet zou geen uren nodig moeten hebben om te besluiten of ze optreden tegen genocide. VVD, NSC, BBB, waar wachten jullie op? nos.nl/l/2579513
De minister is weg, maar het kabinetsbeleid blijft. Het is dieptriest dat ons kabinet het niet eens kan worden over het tegenhouden van een genocide. Zelfs een handelsembargo op illegale nederzettingen is VVD en BBB te veel. Tijd voor een nieuwe politiek die alles doet om deze genocide te stoppen.
Lees onze nieuwe ideeën hier! voltnederland.org/storage/doc/...
Vorige week stapte NSC uit het kabinet vanwege verschillende standpunten rondom Gaza. Vandaag staan we te debatteren over de ‘ontstane politieke situatie’. Het is teleurstellend en schandalig dat de BBB niet wilt praten over Gaza, terwijl dat de hele reden is dat we hier staan.
Dit is waar oude partijen druk mee zijn: het geven van een kop soep aan een kwetsbaar iemand illegaal maken. Het is tijd voor iets nieuws. Een nieuwe politiek voor wie medemenselijkheid heel normaal is—met nieuwe ideeën van een nieuwe generatie met frisse energie. nos.nl/l/2580337
No way! Wij hebben ook een boek geschreven: ons verkiezingsprogramma 😉 voltnederland.org/verkiezingsp...
Gisteren beleefde Volt zijn grootste congres sinds oprichting. We kregen een duidelijke opdracht van onze leden, de jongste van NL: Klimaatverandering is onze 1e prioriteit. De oude partijen hebben hun kans gehad, ik ben blij dat zo veel jonge mensen het nu zelf gaan doen.
BBB presenteert: onze nieuwe minister van Onderwijs. Hij vindt dat wanneer een regenboogpad beklad wordt met hakenkruizen, het ‘van beide kanten jammer is’. Het is tijd voor nieuwe menselijkheid in de politiek—voor een land waarin iedereen gewoon zichzelf kan zijn. www.rtvnoord.nl/politiek/120...
#Volt
Oude partijen hebben hun kans gehad. Het is tijd voor een nieuwe politiek: voorbij de Haagse waan van de dag en bezig met de toekomst. Volt gaat vol voor nieuwe ideeën van een nieuwe generatie met nieuwe energie. Lees hieronder mijn gesprek met NRC! www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Curse of private equity. PE has devoured retail, supermarkets, vets, care homes, healthcare. Now it is skateboarding in the US. Staff cuts, up to 90% wage cut, asset stripping, high debt, low investment, price hikes. PE has no long term interest. It devours and is expanding in the UK.
Royal Mail postal service made £194m pre-tax profit. Didn't meet 1st/2nd class letter delivery targets. Regulator lowering them. 2nd-class letters every other weekday, none on Saturdays. Price Now: Ist class stamp £1.70; 2nd class 87p. When privatised in 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p.
Even I am astounded over lack of legal response to criminal assault. Then further astounded that the PM did not condemn it. What IS going on?

To appease bankers Reeves says Thames Water should find ‘market-based solution’. Not possible. It is a monopoly, no competition, no choice. Since 1989 TW paid £10.4bn in dividends, £13.68bn interest payments. Rocketing bills, sewage in rivers. We can't afford more of the same. Nationalise water.

In short, if Starmer's Labour Party had set out to destroy its chances of re-election, and roll out the red carpet for Reform, it could not have done a better job.
The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...

In support of Trump's peace efforts, Russia will continue the war.
Make no mistake, a failure to help Ukraine defeat the moscow-centered terrorist enterprise (aka russia) in Ukraine, elevates the risk of a nuclear confrontation multifold! Strength, resolve, and restoration of deterrence brings such a risk down! #ArmUkraineToWin!
Great lead headline right now, @nytimes.com.
With zero explanation. With zero mandate, as this 180⁰ policy shift wasn't communicated during the election campaign. As with so much else, why is the govt spending so much political goodwill for such negative returns from voters? Who is pulling the strings? @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
