The US has become a destabilising threat in its enabling of Russia. Trump has no moral core. Ukraine is an irritating inconvenience blocking him making deals with Putin.
His regime threatens Liberal Democracies, the Rule of Law & Universal Human Rights. It is no friend.

Imagine having no prospects for work, or for buying a home, or raising a family... and on top of it, the leaders who could help you with that are apparently deeply tied to a cabal of child rapists. That's what the youngest generations are looking at right now.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, โ€œNo One Walks Alone.โ€ Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

he was shot multiple times & killed
no investigation - barely even reported
and it should be a given to assume DHS/ICE is Lying

Labour is lifting half a million children out of poverty.

Reform wants to put them straight back there.

Nigel Farage should be ashamed.

Hugh Hefner's Widow Says Photos Of Underage Girls Found In His Scrapbooks And Journals Crystal Hefner's lawyer said they have been informed that the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation is going to digitize the photos of the women and girls.

Huh? The guy who founded Playboy had nudes of young girls? The guy who lived in a bathrobe & had blow out parties? Who would believe it? Old, saggy, wealthy white guys; is there ever enough for them? And a 60 yr age gap kinda gives it away. ๐ŸคฎBut she's "shocked!"

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nationโ€™s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE.

A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas.

I know everybody is upset about the death of Twitter and the fact that no single place โ€“ not Bluesky, not X, not anything else โ€“ has emerged to fill the void, but complaining about it and taking it out by complaining on Bluesky about Bluesky is annoying. Build the community that you want.

Why would you pig-headedly ignore the voice of the next generation? Why would you saddle them with debt, shrink the job market and limit their opportunities? It runs counter to everything politics and society should want for them. For all of us. Theyโ€™re the future.

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

Trump is putting enormous pressure on Zelensky because Russia is losing the war. The Russian economy is crumbling and Putin has asked Trump to put pressure on Zelensky. Zelensky must remain strong and defiant. All he has to do is buy time. Both Trump and Putin are on the way out.
