While the UK media has spasms over a BBC edit of Trump’s Jan 6th speech and pretends Trump’s malign, violent and anti-democratic intent was somehow misrepresented, Trump is busy pardoning Jan 6th rioters for other *unrelated* crimes, too. Can’t make this stuff up.

Surreal. Lady in glasses blames asylum seekers for women and girls being harmed When it's pointed out that more women and girls are being harmed by people they actually know, and not asylum seekers, she's in denial #BBCQT The silence from the 'blame asylum seekers and

People on the Left often complain about the BBC being too right wing, while people on the Right accuse it of left wing bias. Now, to me that says it must be fairly balanced. Has it fucked up a few times? Yes. What media outlet hasn't? Should it be destroyed because of this? I

Nationalist politician says she is on the side of.. a foreign government over British interests. Fascinating.
With the BBC facing the threat of legal action by President Trump for doctoring footage of his speech, Starmer has a choice to make. Does he support President Trump or does he continue to defend the BBC’s misleading reporting. The choice is clear. I know whose side I’m on.

Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence. Maria Corina Machado – awarded the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize – has spent years working

India is where my parents were born and it is not an ‘Islamic country’. You have the knowledge, intellect, and IQ of a very small (and angry) child.
You are a Muslim immigrant. You can go back to the UK and the Islamic countries your parents were born in any time you want. Why are you even in the US if you hate it here? Just leave. I don’t get it. What will it take to make you leave? You hate our country.

Hard to know which of my emotions is uppermost on reading this - horror or fury - at our society being damaged this way by thuggish far right fascists. https://t.co/f0SwKpyrZ4

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.
Senator Padilla is forcibly shoved out of Kristi Noem's press briefing: "I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the Secretary"

Honest and direct meeting with @SecRubio yesterday. I made it crystal clear that claims and statements about annexing Greenland are not only unacceptable and disrespectful. They amount to a violation of international law.

It's just repellent how instead of policy this regime gratuitously abuses sometime allies - Canada and Denmark - and does so with malicious lies cooked up in their stew of imperialist greed
incredible -- JD Vance rails against Denmark from Greenland -- "Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people in Greenland."
