He screwed up our country with Brexit and he’s doing it again with the Orange dictator. I hope our government stands firm and doesn’t get sucked further into this complete fiasco.

“Patriot” Farage is off stabbing Britain in the back, as usual.

We don't want MAGA policies here in Europe but a growing right-wing network is trying to make it happen. That's deeply worrying.

The “Genocide Joe” crowd is nowhere to be found amid Trump’s partnering with Israel to launch an illegal War of Aggression against Iran, which will result in far, far more genocide than Gaza, and possibly World War III…

Crimea is burning again.
Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence struck Russian naval and air assets in occupied Crimea. Multiple vessels, drones, air defense systems and a helicopter reported destroyed.
Russia’s “safe rear base” keeps shrinking.

Excellent point. I want to see sufficient regulation to protect privacy and data.

I read that EU is upping its gain to develop alternative to US tech baron products. But not holding my breath ...

I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

Kristi Noem is gone. Good, but it’s the bare minimum. Two American citizens killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. Court orders violated. FEMA gutted. Firing her doesn’t fix all of that, but it’s a start.

On the one hand, a clearly deranged lunatic in the White House starting a dangerous illegal war on Iran with already-serious repercussions for the region and world...

Or having a pop at Keir Starmer.

You just knew which side the Right would come down on.

What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.

The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.

Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👏

Zack’s response to Shabana Mahmood.
My friend sent this to me an hour ago. She said
“This is why I will vote for the Greens. They have a moral compass of hope.”

I wholeheartedly agree.
Life’s difficult enough without a politician in the government advocating cruelty and marginalisation

ICYMI — “No one wants to fight for Israel!”

Marine veteran Brian McGinnis had his hand injured as AIPAC-backed Senator Sheehy (R) & joined Capitol Police officers in physically removing him as he spoke out against Trump and Bibi’s war.
