Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Donald Trump is a bald man. Where are the memes showing him as completely bald on top? Stop showing him with the yellow hair on top, but show him as he is. He hates nothing more than having his lies exposed.

Trump hates this photo of him. Definitely don't share it far and wide today.

For some reason I had laboured under the misapprehension that Moseley disappeared from politics after the 1930s. But he was still at it in the 60s. I did not realise that there was a direct unbroken line of continuity from him to Farage via the National Front. Anyway, Bertie shows us how it’s done.

In December 1961, the British fascist, Oswald Mosley, sent Bertrand Russell two of his books. Mosley wrote of ‘the two root differences between us' in international politics, and subsequently invited Russell to lunch. On 22 January 1962, Russell declined the invitation in these terms.

Dear Sir Oswald,

Thank you for your letter and for your enclosures. I have given some thought to our recent correspondence. It is always difficult to decide on how to respond to people whose ethos is so alien and, in fact, repellent to one's own. It is not that I take exception to the general points made by you but that every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.

I feel obliged to say that the emotional universes we inhabit are so distinct, and in deepest ways opposed, that nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.

I should like you to understand the intensity of this conviction on my part. It is not out of any attempt to be rude that I say this but because of all that I value in human experience and human achievement.

Yours sincerely,
Bertrand Russell

UK BEWARE! These same odious individuals are already infiltrating our data. Thiel the man behind Palantir already has invaded the NHS data system and our private information. Farage works closely with them, he doesn't protect us he sells us out.

#MythologyMonday
Cadair Idris is one of Wales' most beautiful and storied peaks. Legend says that a night upon its slopes may grant the gift of 'Awen', or divine poetic inspiration. But it comes also with a risk: some who sleep there will wake not as poets, but as madmen!

Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isn’t only anger—it’s the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

The Pentagon is restricting press access, and the NYT raises a serious First Amendment concern. The SecDef’s response? A wave emoji. It’s a childish mockery of accountability. But dodging scrutiny with memes is how authoritarians treat a free press.
