Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

Public ownership of water is the only way to deliver security, efficiency, investment and value for money 37 years of privatisation has been a disaster

Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them.

On 6 August 2024, Ofwat announced fines of £47m and £17m for sewage dumping.

Headline grabbing fines not paid, will never be paid. Companies claim to have invested.

Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

Get ICE out of our streets, communities, and cities.

I see you all making your voices heard and being loud for America.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Trump Brings China-Style Authoritarianism to America The Trump administration is trading democratic norms for a toolkit of coercion, loyalty, and control modeled after America’s most significant rival and competitor.

For decades, the US tried to make China more like us—instead, we’re becoming more like them. From loyalty tests for civil servants to attacking the press, the Trump administration is trading democratic norms for Beijing’s toolkit. https://ampr.gs/4k4rFgO

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

If journalism becomes a crime, fascism isn’t coming. It’s already here.

The Trump Administration is full of liars. Full stop. People are following the law, showing up to court, and are still being detained without explanation.

This is not law enforcement — it’s racism and abuse of power.

Why Is the Trump Administration Demanding Minnesota’s Voter Rolls?

The Department of Justice has demanded voter files from almost every state in the country. In @nytimes.com @wendyweiser.bsky.social Weiser explains that “[this] data can be manipulated to support false claims about ineligible voting and justify efforts to thwart free and fair elections.”

Kristi Noem must resign.

And if she won’t, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

It was impossible not to be moved by the testimony given by Holocaust survivor Mala Tribich MBE at our Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony in the House of Commons.

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots.

I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

A man who believes it’s fine to grope women against their will is exactly the kind of man who will attempt to grab Greenland just because “when you’re a star they let you do it.” The Access Hollywood tape told us everything we needed to know about Trump.

Trump has just declared himself the "acting president of Venezuela" over on Truth Social in case you're wondering about his mental health.

That awkward moment when your past foreign policy faceplants in real time.

BREAKING: New York City is flooded with peaceful anti-ICE protests and it’s driving the right insane. They needed riots. They needed excuses. Instead they got Americans calmly rejecting authoritarian bullshit in the streets.

Trump posts that he’s “Acting President of Venezuela”

Your twice-weekly reminder that the Supreme Court’s opinion giving presidents criminal immunity is not a serious decision for a serious democracy. @brennancenter.org

The lesson they’re trying to teach us is Don’t protest. Don’t resist. Don’t speak up. Only silent compliance will save you.

BREAKING: Trump’s administration ordered NASA to shut down its largest library and throw the books in the trash. Not move them. Not save them. Destroy them. That’s not cost cutting. That’s straight up war on knowledge.
