Just some aggressive far right thugs in street clothes hand cuffing an elected official for asking questions in a hospital…But don’t call them fascists…

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

💔Antoni Lallikan, French photojournalist, was killed by a Russian FPV drone in Donetsk region.

Hryhorii Ivanchenko, photographer for Kyiv Independent, worked alongside Antoni. Both journalists were wearing bulletproof vests with PRESS written on them. Hryhorii was injured but is stable.

Yes. I mean, we're literally in that scenario, but also metaphorically.

Stunning image captured, at Arches National Park in Utah, by photographer Zach Cooley on 28 October 2020 when the Moon was in waxing gibbous phase with an illumination of 91%.

Precisely, 91% was the percentage illuminated by the Sun.

The photo shows the Moon in waxing gibbous phase with an illumination of 91%, captured at Arches National Park in Utah, on 28 October 2020. The Moon creates the effect of a giant eye as it passes behind a rock arch.

Very, very little to choose between these people and any other kind of ethnonationalist. Both equally vile.

I was waiting for the first man to pop up and make that connection.

The gong goes to you. Congratulations.

Apparently Taylor Swift has a song on her new album all about her boyfriend's penis.

I often find myself wondering how we got from Kate Bush to here in thirty years.

Hard to know, but she doesn't strike me as someone who suffers from nerves.

The blinking thing is odd - really an expression of disdain, I think.

We've been watching the live-streamed destruction of whole families for 2 years. Palestinians have all lost people/know people who have lost people. Disgraceful but predictable of the British State to use one outrage to suppress dissent against another. The hierarchy of human life on full show.

NEW: Home secretary Shabana Mahmood urges pro-Palestine protesters to consider not taking part in marches this weekend.

"Imagine if you lost a loved one to a terror attack in this country ... sometimes a little unity, a little solidarity, some love to other people is required"

Thank you for such a clear articulation of this.

I'm like this with abandoned teddies in antique shops. I have to keep reminding myself they're not sentient.

Such arrogance. I say that as a member of the lanyard class.

I've just been reading about his social media spat with John Prescott in 2012.

I guess he's had his revenge.

This is his repeated attacks on what he calls the "lanyard class". Who are the terrible people who wear lanyards? Doctors & nurses, care workers, teachers, managers, administrators, secretaries. The people who hold society together, who keep everything running, who do the jobs he wouldn't stoop to.

After clashing with Maurice Glasman recently, I've come to realise just how pernicious he and his Blue Labour movement are. We could discuss his chumminess with Steve Bannon and JD Vance, endless pandering to the far right and evident hatred of the Labour left. But there's something even worse. 🧵

I honestly had a go this morning, listening to the previews of her new album (her sixty sixth, is it?) on Spotify.

Couldn't distinguish one breathy, bland, totally undistinguished track from another. Except the penis one, obvs.

She's a prime example of the marriage of arrogance and talentlessness.
