“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist,
but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false
no longer exist.”
- Hannah Arendt
My choice for Quote of the Day in @stinej.bsky.social series.
These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.
This is soviet union shit.
Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.
What the hell?
FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.
Victoria Derbyshire allowing Zia Yusuf to tie himself in absolute knots by asking him simple questions about Reform policy.
A masterclass in quality journalism.
Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.
Look at this gear. It's not a uniform anymore — it's a frozen shell.
A rescuer's gear frozen solid at -25℃, still working to fix damage from Russian strikes on energy facilities earlier this week.

Tulsi Gabbard and the White House killed a whistleblower report that someone close to Trump was talking to foreign intelligence.
Trump and his allies are in the Epstein files, and likely controlled through blackmail by foreign intelligence.
The Trump administration is a national security threat.

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

This is how you do a headline and excellent reporting.
“The f*ck are we doing?”
POLITICO: “As Europe’s political class moves to clean up its mess and address its shame concerning ties with Epstein , it’s inadvertently highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in 🇺🇸- No prominent politicians have taken a fall.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
Has anyone asked Nigel Farage what he thinks of his "resilient and brave" friend Donald Trump posting racist memes on Truth Social?
🇪🇺 Kaja Kallas: In the last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia.
We need to seek concessions on the Russian side on limitation on their military budget, their army, or nuclear weapons.
They're still hungry. #politics
"In the nation’s 444 farming-dependent counties, Trump pulled in nearly 78% of the vote. Those same counties are now watching multi-generational family farms get fed into the woodchipper of MAGA-nomics. It’s the purest Leopards Eating People’s Faces moment yet"
Johnson 64, Nixon 68 and 72, Reagan 80 and 84, Bush 88, Clinton 92* and 96*, Obama 2008 and 2012 were all more decisive victories than trump 24.
Great work from the FT's John Burn-Murdoch www.ft.com/content/b474...
Det är ett absurt argument, utan förankring i verkligheten. Så blir det ofta när lobbyn ligger bakom talepunkterna.
Awkward for Farage because a good number of Clarkson's many hardcore fans are natural Reform voters and will listen to him.
This is one of the rare recent uses I’ve seen of the word “treason” that seems like it might be arguably appropriate. “Sedition” perhaps www.ft.com/content/7e8a...
För den som inte haft tid eller möjlighet att sätta sig in i hur lätt det i Sverige är att använda bolag för att mjölka välfärden, undkomma skatter eller exploatera arbetare, är den här texten en mycket bra introduktion.
