Yay for optimism and all that, but I think we need to really ask if we're putting in place what's needed to stop their resurgence, or just hoping democracies will fix themselves through vibes alone.

A viral image which supposedly shows Nigel Farage visiting a child with terminal cancer in hospital isn’t real. It’s based on a real picture of a boy with cancer, which has then been edited with the help of AI to include the Reform UK leader.

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action". This is real police state behaviour.

To people on this platform saying that those holding "I support Palestine Action" signs deserve to be arrested, because PA has been designated a terrorist group by the government: Remember that lickspittles and system justifiers have enabled every form of oppression, everywhere.

We have always been robust defenders of freedom of expression. But we believe free speech is not absolute. It is equally important to protect people from serious harm online.

This is a difficult balance to get right, but if everything becomes a matter of

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

If Russia is allowed to overrun Ukraine, Ukraine will become another Gaza. Netanyahu has demonstrated that you can commit repeated atrocities and still receive the support of successive US presidents. I fear that Gaza will be the model for future occupations.
