New Yorker cover for week of 20 October 2025.

Watch what happens this Saturday, October 18th.

Finland has the right idea.

That is a valuable passport.
Weirdly, the UK passport now looks like the American passport.

The immigration article you shared indicated Spain is remarkably accommodating to immigration, not unlike California.

America is a nation of immigrants, making the anti-immigrant terrorism here insane.

Good article, Nestor.
Thank you for sharing this.

Understandable.
The NHS is still the best.

And home calls us.
I lived in south-east England for 20 years, but when it was time to return to Northern California, I couldn't get home fast enough.
And I don't regret it.
California is not America.

I'm so sorry you're having to endure this Nestor.

No doubt, Germany is a country deeply divided, like America. Fascists prey on this.

Would you not consider immigrating to Denmark, or even Portugal, where our friend Steve is?

Britain, heartbreakingly, is not looking welcoming these days.

This Saturday, October 18th, millions of Americans will take to the streets to oppose the fascist government threatening our lives.

This is destined to be America's largest protest. Ever.

While marching, I will also be thinking about Britain, hoping there is still time for you.

'Labour is waging a concerted attack on the thing that made it.'

Don't miss @georgemonbiot.bsky.social latest essay on the importance of protest.

Well said, Rob.

Thames Water want to pollute illegally until 2040. Ofwat must say NO. Thames water want to make at deal with Ofwat, to pollute illegally for 15 years

🚨Urgent: Thames Water want permission from Ofwat to ILLEGALLY pollute rivers and seas until 2040.

🤮They want your bills to fill their pockets with gold, while they fill your rivers with sewage.

✍️Sign now. Tell Ofwat to say NO to Thames Water before Tuesday 21st October.

Karen: A part in a play. You'd do all that just for a part in a play?
Eve: I'd do much more for a part that good.

Germany deserves better.

I find this very touching…& also worrying. Historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been an absolutely essential guide to this era. And if he thinks I’m right then we’re in more trouble than we realise

Mazel Tov!
Glorious news.
What a wonderful addition to your family. 🧡

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

'No chance I'll go to a fascist, gun-filled hell hole.'

A new day is dawning in America.

Pass it on.
Empathy is alive in America.

New York's next mayor is substantially moving the needle left.

Government tyranny opposed by a courageous frog.

Finally, the media is finding their missing backbones.

OMG! Airports are in the resistance? Too cool (and thanks to @resistlist.bsky.social, which has been sharing all the best resist-y news for a while now.)

Your essays have substantially lifted the art of the essay, Rebecca.

Can't tell you how many people, after introduced to you and @georgemonbiot.bsky.social, have become essay enthusiasts.

You and George make essays HOT.

“Governments claiming to represent us, but responding instead to press barons and corporations? Politics on sale to the highest bidder, through political donations and paid lobbying? This is democracy? This is a system that requires no challenge?”
Good questions, @georgemonbiot.bsky.social!

Thank You, Chris.
Much appreciated.

Amusingly, we'd probably prefer it to current situation.

BUT yes, both my English husband and I were surprised by the Britishness of Canada, especially east coast Canada.

I had only been to west coast Canada previously. Other than Victoria Island, it didn't seem as British as the east coast.
