"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

Lawlessness and shamelessness.

Multiple russian drones are attacking Kyiv. The explosions are loud, marking the work of air defenses.

Mayor Klychko reports that drone debris hit two residential buildings, setting the upper floors of one on fire.

Maybe U.S. negotiators could visit and see firsthand how russia 'wants peace.'

President Zelenskyy:

"Putin wants to conduct several offensives in the Zaporizhzhia direction, in the east, in the Kharkiv and Sumy directions to put maximum pressure on Ukraine. He will try to do all this in the coming months. And he doesn't care how many of his people die.

What a nasty little man. And he can't even grow a beard.

Who said the Germans have no sense of humour?

Hundreds Dead: Inside the Trump Ukraine Fallout The US intelligence pause has undercut supply lines to Kursk, cut satellite imagery and tanked morale.

At least 20 Ukrainian civilians have been killed just this night by Russian missiles and drones. Hundreds of soldiers were killed on the frontline in recent days. These are the first results of the US suspension of military aid and intelligence to Ukraine: more deaths

Important to take the week as a whole. Statement from Dominic Grieve:

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

As I sit in Keelung my anxiety levels are rising quite nicely...

Just trying to think of a country with massive bot farms that is desperately trying to suppress this story. Please read and repost 👇🏼

Appeasement

My Facebook is now full of right-wing, racist, conspiracy, Elon-loving, garbage. Any chance we can un-invent the digital world, and go back to reading books over cups of tea while listening the the Third Programme?

Warning thread from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social - excellent read:

My thoughts are this:

If no-one is coming to save us - what do we need to do?

I wish there were a few more artists from the UK here....and where is the BBC?

We must find ways to fight these loons...perhaps by feeding them high fat diets until they cease to move.

Musk is a dangerous idiot who has no understanding at all of the UK or its politics. His use of the real harm caused to vulnerable people to further his own far right insanity is disgusting, and I hope he can be prosecuted for his lies. And then we can ensure the tit never darkens our shores.
