AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doorsβ€”they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

What it feels like to live in America and believe ALL people should have basic human rights.

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold.

As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

Guess who's coming (back) to Davos It's (mostly) not about Donald Trump – another Davos returnee has got nearly as tough a sell.

I’ve written about George Osborne making his Davos comeback – trying to convince governments to buy into OpenAI.

But it’s really about the tactics of different AI companies, and the *serious* need for them to find big customers (and revenues) this year.

Palantir was a warning sign.

Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment.

All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

First, he threatens to take Greenland by force, now he is threatening to tariff anyone who stands in his way.

First, he claimed tariffs were a way to fix the so-called trade imbalance.

Now he’s openly using them to bully the free world.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

The world's first Sesame Street traffic lights were turned on in Hamburg this week.

German public broadcaster NDR (which is based in Hamburg) has co-produced the German version of the show for 50 years.

A map of the border area between Finland and Russia near Joensuu, based on OpenStreetmap data. Red lines are main, secondary, and tertiary roads; black crossed line is railroad. Thin white lines are "unclassified" roads - private and logging roads. Yellow dotted and dash-dotted lines are drawn 50 and 100 kilometers from the Russian border.

For years I've been harping about the problem #Finland 's logging roads cause for #defence. They make the forests too permeable.

The problem is insufficiently understood, perhaps because large-scale maps won't show their extent.

So I've built my own, from OpenStreetMap & OpenTopoMap data. Behold!

As Hillsborough is trending, it's important to remind people that Reform UK's Deputy Chair is Paul Nuttall.

Paul Nuttall once lied about having lost close friends in the tragedy.

Good morning.

A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.

That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.

Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.
