Civil rights organizations denounce that many people are being detained because of their race or skin color

So, Trump forcibly deports hundreds of immigrants who have no criminal record and welcomes in Andrew Tate - a toxic misogynist on trial for rape, child-trafficking and money-laundering.

Sums up what this repulsive US regime is all about.
Moral depravity and money. Nothing else. Nothing good.

I started planning this column a while ago, but I kept imagining it wouldn't be necessary, as many other journalists would surely get there first. I've been scratching my head ever since, wondering "where is everyone?" Is this not a huge and obvious issue?

I don’t know much about internal South African politics, (I’ll now read up though), but they definitely seem to be taking the high moral ground internationally…

BBC One - Question Time, 2025, 13/02/2025 Fiona Bruce presents an hour of topical debate from Northwich in Cheshire.

Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness.

‘Thought crime’ and cancelled elections: how do JD Vance’s claims about Europe stand up? US vice-president told litany of tales of Europe’s rights infringements in speech to leaders at defence gathering

Of course our risible rightwing reports Vance’s speech as a warning to us and a defence of free speech, rather than the excruciatingly demented diplomatic incontinence that it was. Happy to take this shit from a fellow authoritarian rather than face up to their own descent into ruinous madness.

Defending The Truth About Jan 6th We must be relentless and never ceasing to fight the lies

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

Words matter. By not calling it what it is, we minimize the experiences of survivors everywhere. It’s rape. And those who perpetrate it are rapist. And it is unacceptable.
The notion that we have a rapist in line to be potus is disgusting. I will never own that.

How our democracy has been hijacked by corporations and wealthy elites The only effective remedy is to ban all private donations, or bribes, to political parties.

“The only effective measure is to ban all political donations, and the giving and receiving of such donations a criminal offence. Such a ban would force political parties to compete and develop publicly acceptable policies”

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.
