Andor Season 2, especially episodes 8&9, is one of the finest TV shows ever made. The fact it's meant to be sci-fi and we're actually living through it right now makes it even more poignant.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

Nadhim Zahawi describes Nowak as someone "who lost his life because of incompetence". Greg Dyke points out that nobody is saying the mistake by police caused the death. Phillips intervenes with "nobody knows". A lack of basic research on a very sensitive topic. Paragraph 16 of sentencing remarks:

The current regime is absolutely evil.

Thank you, Rep Joyce Beatty! Nobody else tried to do it. I appreciate it very much!👏👏👏

I took this video right before ICE pepper sprayed the crowd at Delaney Hall, including Senator Andy Kim. ICE was dressed like they're going to war, with weapons and an armored vehicle. That's because we are the enemy to them. We just keep standing up to this repression. @north.dsanj.org

Can't thank Stephen Colbert enough for the decades of laughs he's given us. He's been positively therapeutic in these troubled times & I can't wait to see what he does next! 👀 (plus, he let me sit behind his desk) 🙏

Only the Boomers voted Thomas Massie out. Their minds are rotted by watching Fox News.

Govt shows no urgency about the plight of postmasters prosecuted by DWP. In Feb 2025, parliament was told that a review would take place. I met Minister in Jan 2026 and learnt that no review has taken place. Now a reviewer is being appointed but only for 30 days work. Not acceptable.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

In the past month, Matt Goodwin has claimed electoral fraud, Nigel Farage has said polls are rigged against him and we’re supposed to believe Richard Tice is a clever businessman for avoiding £600k in tax. Reform are so far through the Trump playbook I imagine they’re about to start bombing Iran.

I know there’s a lot going on, but we can’t ignore this.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Reform UK Grassroots, relocated to Spain. They blocked us after we exposed them for spreading dangerous misinformation about the Southport murders. Reform UK still haven’t shut them down.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

We are the laughing stock of the world.

Not much

Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein. He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse. Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million. Both men are alive. How come they've never been asked to testify?

🚨 RELEASE THE NAMES OF ALL THE CHILD SEXUAL PREDATORS!!! 🚨

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

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

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

You misspelled "BORED".

Breaking WaPo: The recent death of a detainee at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This speech by Trump surely marks the end of the transatlantic alliance. An American president itching to incinerate NATO, conquer Greenland, and get far-right parties elected to government across Europe.

Trump genuinely doesn't know the difference between Greenland and Iceland.

She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.

Whatever Farage says, remember this tweet

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Reform UK’s Derbyshire Councillor Dawn Abbott, cabinet member for Health and Communities, posted this on her Facebook page. More Nigel Farage doing stuff he’s never done. This is the same blog / page that posted a made up story about him visiting a child with cancer as a last wish.

While purporting to care deeply about the funding of other organisations and the importance of free speech, Lord Young's FSU won't reveal who funds the er ... Free Speech Union Excellent work from @petergeoghegan.bsky.social democracyforsale.substack.com/p/who-funds-...

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

Nadhim Zahawi. Patriot. Who patriotically founded YouGov and patriotically didn't pay £5,000,000 in patriotic tax he patriotically owed the UK. And all that patriotism while he was briefly made patriotic Chancellor of the Exchequer, responsible for ensuring patriotic UK tax is paid. Patriotically.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."
