Racoons against racketeering ✊

The uncensored version of this book revealed Jeffrey Epstein's long relationship with Melania, his introduction of Melania to Trump, and Trump (and then Epstein) having intercourse with Melania in the back of a limo. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Cartoon showing a man reading from a dictionary to another. He says "So, it turns out confirmation bias means exactly what I expected it to mean|"

The sort of cartoon you'd expect to see from me

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

#Newsnight

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Today is Putin’s birthday.

It is also National TACO day in the United States

What a coincidence

Just a bunch of whining NIMPLs.

Of course they are. Much easier to use words and disinformation to get NATO to pile massive resources into European countries rather than have them send it into Ukraine.

Indeed you are right. It started in the 1970's before we even joined!

OTD in 2006 journalist & activist Anna Politkovskaya was shot dead. Whoever is responsible for having her killed is still at large. And turns 73 today.

They gonna distance themselves from all the money they made putting him there too?

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

So, so much behind this simple statement of fact 🔥

How ironic that they're storming a gov't building to stop fascism whereas in the U.S. those who stormed The Capitol where there to install it.

And it all started with David Cameron’s idiotic gamble on a referendum to leave the EU. To hell with them all.

FAFO. Idiots.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

BBC is run by stooges.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

They're threatening to come for you in due course.
I hate all this. What's going on? I feel I've walked into a dystopian nightmare.
Once this time is over, & it will be one day, they'll look back on it as a time of madness akin to the Salem witch trials when everybody lost their sense of reason.

Plus the very few who want the former can go f*** themselves. Also those who want the latter.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

If you liked Brexit, you're going to love what the Conservatives want next | Polly Toynbee Leaving the ECHR could mean higher food prices and an even bigger blow to trade. The Tories' new proposals will end the party for good, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

🇬🇧 🇪🇺 "Labour has found its voice against Faragism and racism. Now they need to challenge the right on leaving the ECHR, which would be a terrible reprise to the crippling damage of Brexit. Ask the hauliers."

When people start doubting that Trump actually wants to work with dictators, they might ask themselves why the two states he is working hard to limit military sales to are Taiwan and Ukraine.

Completely unrelated to the UK recognising the Palestinian state obviously.

He knows they need to execute the plan completely or they are all done for. The danger will keep on rising while it is not confronted.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
