Sweden’s verdict is brutal.
Only 7% view the US positively.
Just 4% view Trump favorably.
His standing is collapsing toward Putin-level unpopularity.

Yes: one of the things that has kept protests peaceful is that the insider/outsider dynamic was so pronounced. The feds were invaders; local and state police were separate and not really against us.

What we’ve seen in the last couple days feels like the sheriff and state patrol switching sides.

…as per my skeet from earlier today, here’s a reminder that the original intention of the UK’s “age appropriate” legislative push (AADC & OSA) was to circumvent US §230 and regulate content, not regulate design features.

The Magic of Darkness: learning to love life in the night with author Leigh Ann Henion Do you love the dark? Do you yearn for sunset and the amber glow of a fire with the night growing deeper, more inspiring all around you? There's a world out there of sheer, unadulterated magic that is...

Do you love the dark?

Do you yearn for sunset with the night growing deeper all around you?

Our ancestors knew the world of magic that is only revealed when we put aside the lights, phones, torches and step out into the night

Kindling Quiet Romance: Reimagining the Law for Nature with Brontie Ansell of Lawyers for Nature In the midst of collapse, it can be hard to imagine extending the franchise of legal rights and sovereignties to the More than Human world.  And yet, if we're to transcend this moment, it must be beca...

In the midst of collapse, as we watch our governments lay waste to our social agreements, it can be hard to imagine extending the franchise of legal rights and sovereignties to the More than Human world.

And yet we must - so here's how.

Even with the so-called "drawdown," many Minneapolis area activists say little has changed since hundreds of agents left and they're preparing for prolonged resistance. The anxiety remains palpable after two fatal shootings of US Citizens by federal agents in January. cnn.it/4cdp81V

A group of hotel housekeepers went on strike for the first time in 40 years.

And won!

Organising works. Trade unions work.

This is the story of @uvwunion.bsky.social & the amazing Doris.

We live in an ever-changing world, but how thin is the ice on which we are skating? And how can we change the ways we do things so we don’t fall into the void of extinction.

#AccidentalGods #Podcast with that utterly inspiring @david-farrier.bsky.social

i only heard him with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on @boldpolitics.bsky.social so... not sure. But yes, he was focussed on McSweeney and not the network.

Child labor laws are under attack in states across the country: Amid increasing child labor violations, lawmakers must act to strengthen standards What this report finds: States across the country are attempting to weaken child labor protections, just as violations of these standards are rising. This report identifies bills weakening child labor...

Also, as more immigrants are deported, get ready for the new golden age of child labor in America. Several U.S. states have passed or proposed legislation to weaken child labor protections, aiming to address labor shortages in sectors like hospitality, construction, and manufacturing.

Possibly also a mite connected to publication of @paulholden.bsky.social 's THE FRAUD, eh?

Go @PhilHolden and his book 'THE FRAUD' which is now absolutely essential reading (actually, it always was)

What can we do?

Indeed. Even less threatening than Geoffrey Howe, of whom it was memorably said that being told off by him was 'like being savaged by a dead sheep'

I'm not sure Starmer actually exists. He's basically a suit inflated by hot air and paraded out to repeat the lines he's been taught.

Of course this has nothing to do with the publication of THE FRAUD by @paulholden.bsky.social

Nothing at all

Nothing to see here....

At All...

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

That highly classified whistleblower report Tulsi Gabbard covering up?

Guardian reports it’s an NSA intercept of a call between a close Trump associate and “an individual associated with foreign intelligence.”

Sounds similar to Trump’s campaign chair meeting Russian intel and sharing data in 2016.

Make that Europeans resigning over Epstein files (e.g. also Miroslav Lajčák in Slovakia)

Well done @paulholden.bsky.social - THE FRAUD clearly landed where it needed to.

now is there anyone who can clean out the entire rotten pet shop? Preferably not with a flame thrower.

"The fact that people don't want to engage in public service because they're afraid for their physical safety is not something that you can sustain a democracy on."

We need stronger protections for poll workers, and more. @heathmayo.bsky.social joins @heathmayo.bsky.social on How To Fix It:

Yeeeeehaaaaa! My day is made.

Thank you. :)

McSweeney gone - is that Morgan McSweeney - the super-toxic figure behind the entire Starm-trooper project? Or is it a curling thing?? (!)
