In response California has become the first state to join the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network.
If this is the start of a pattern Americans will only be safe in Blue states.

We finally have a shot at criminalising lying in politics…

I spoke at an event this week where the room voted almost unanimously that MPs & Lords must be covered by the new offence of Misleading the Public
Imagine if this went though

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.”
So, same as Canadians.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

A president who threatens allies is not a partner, he is a risk. Tariffs batter supply chains, wages and investment, and Trump will aim them at any democracy that resists. Britain should deepen European cooperation, not bet on Washington’s mood swings.

Badenoch is fascinating. So busy fighting culture wars online that she considers the very real potential for the break-up of the military alliance on which the UK relies for security to be a fringe issue.
Kemi Badenoch describes Greenland as a “second-order issue” in BBC interview.
The US threatening to annex a Nato territory is anything but that.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

![Andy Field, 61, an NHS doctor who said he
knew Farage well because they took the
same train to school, has similarly clear
memories.
"When I became a prefect, he [Farage] said,
Tll show you how to do it,' claimed Field,.
"He took me for a walk up to the lower
school playground, where all the children
from about nine years old to 12 would be.
And he singled out, completely at random, a
kid of Asian extraction, and just put him in
detention for no reason whatsoever. I was
flabbergasted, absolutely stunned. I was just
disgusted, really. No rhyme or reason, just
purely based on the colour of his skin.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5mqpgxjffcckasqv7h6g7itu/bafkreifwa2hlzevsllsekm44ne6yprkgrfhwryxxclupy3cz2qqj42sxma@jpeg)
