Measles "re established" in the UK. The shameful consequence of so-called vaccine skeptics and antivaxxers.

This reminded me of @jakeromm.bsky.social’s analysis of Israeli hasbara as fascist propaganda in his essay “Elements of Antisemitism” in @parapraxismag.bsky.social

Fully agree. We’ve got some great Green MSPs up here in Scotland too and they have experience in Government. I think it comes down to a feeling of lack of trust on several levels for me.

Indeed - I want someone level headed and calm like Ellie Chowns or Caroline Lucas. I don’t rate his political acumen at all and his communications feel cultish.

Feeing much calmer now I’ve muted Zack Polanski.

Flashbacks to a horrifying early childhood exposure to evangelical Christianity resulting in mass family conversion to Catholicism with a change of school. And he reminds me of this sort of motivational ‘wall art’ from the 1990s. All just too much!

Burns Whangie!

Decoupling from Trump’s America Washington’s allies are looking for a new strategy after a week that has demonstrated what some see as the risks of subordination and coercion

On the extent of what needs to be done - there is no quick fix!

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Brilliant reporting from Rachel Maddow.

If you watch anything today, let it be this! 👀

Cuts through all the nonsense speculation of the last few days.

Essentially, what stops abductions is when crowds outnumber the masked kidnappers. When people aggressively follow ICE with whistles and horns, crowds are ready to show up. If they show up fast enough, ICE leaves and a family is not broken. (People here understand the stakes).

💯 have been following this case and cannot imagine how stressful all of this must have been. Amazing work.

If you have ever wanted or wondered who to nominate for a New Years Honour Dr Christine Peters & Dr Teresa Inkster deserve mass nominations

They deserve to be celebrated. They have shown true bravery at significant personal cost

I am proud to know them

I make a cup of tea, set aside 22 minutes, and let Joanna Brouk’s “The Space Between” envelope me in its soothing ambient beauty

What’s he going to add, beyond splitting the non reform vote?

We just need to rejoin the EU full stop.

He was ok with the Board of Peace while the bombs are raining down on Palestinians.

What would happen if the world stopped reporting Trump’s every utterance?

Would he still exist?

Re Palantir and NHS England, what would happen if patients withdrew their consent to have their data shared with this company en masse?

Would a petition do the trick??
