The US far-right administration and Europe's fringe extremists are tearing up the human rights agreements the world spent decades building. Undermining slavery's severity.Reviving fascism. This won't just stain their cults,it stains their nations and condemns generations born with no part in it…1/3

Trump prepared sanctions against the International Criminal Court amount not just as attack on the global tribunal that prosecutes war crimes and genocide worldwide it’s steep moral low and crime in itself against the entire global community for no other reason than to shield ..+

So Putin is running for office against… Vladimir Putin. It’s the political equivalent of a man arm-wrestling his own reflection, Meanwhile the world watches this one-man show like it’s the season finale of a drama nobody wrote: kind of expecting a bold new policy platform?..++

😢 The AP just ran a piece noting that ~4 million migrants entered the US over the past five years framing that lands as vindication for Trump and the anti-refugee movements spreading across the Western hemisphere…+1/5

1/9🧵 Tonight is one of those nights I turn my back on the usual pull for a few snd rewind,or the dance floor and tend to sit down instead to reflect on myself from angles I usually avoid. I do it the same every time as stress relief :jot the concerns down, then turn critical thinking loose on them.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 ‼️⚠️⛔️☢️☣️ 🧵1** Don’t say you have not being warned. Britain is possibly facing an unprecedented assault this winter. The scenario and plan are hiding in plain sight. I worry the damage and disruption and devastation will be unlike anything this beloved country has seen.

Who Do You Think You Are Kidding, Mr. Hitler? Denmark and the EU already barred Russia and China from setting Greenland bases. Trump threatened to invade anyway. Now he wants credit for "striking a deal" that was just... the status quo he nearly torpedoed and waged a war against own allies.

US President Donald Trump says he has struck a deal with Denmark to give Washington 'permanent control' over Greenland's security and bar Russia and China from setting up bases in the Arctic territory u.afp.com/Sjro

1/2 England next game is going to be toughny by all means.But the real story: Trent's back in the squad. Same manager who froze him out of the World Cup, when right back was our weakest spot. Funny what a few months and bad results do. exposing both ameture pundits “experts” and agendas reporters

Old folks love to reference a wisdom that says if a malicious being told you or hinted twice that your life long best friend is bad person,you might reject the claim but then later on you start to notice unconsciously and suddenly for the first time your best friend nose is too big or walk funny+1/3

1/6 Been one of those bocalmin sounding the Alarm an urge of rethink appealing:Since computers entered the workplace and PC revolution took off in the 1980s,a lot of good as a result benefited the planet greatly. Think about it: Less paper less logging, less physical activities etc endless examples

UK right now: sneezing, blocked nose, full cold symptoms ,, not a virus, just your body panicking because the temperature dropped overnight and your heating system is still in hibernation mode from last winter 💀

🙏 1** It was my cherished wish once to complete my studies in veterinary medicine to answer a vocation I have held for as long as I can remember: restoring life and hope to domestic and wild animals whose illnesses I would treat unfortunate I had to change course. 🧵

❤️‍🩹💔 The Cost of Manufactured Social Norms 🧵1/6 Some topics feel taboo to raise, yet they deserve honest reflection. One of them is how readily we adopt social trends hyped by mass media—trends that, whatever their stated intentions, end up fracturing the everyday norms once held human together.

I hope the US state of Montana voters will succeed to make their state the first in the nation to bar corporations from spending money on elections .the move could send a well long awaited for call not just in the US but in all the democratic world to start a push back against this cancer

🤬 The BBC's decades-long incitement,stoking the migration issue day in, day out, keeping it relentlessly live, as a political agenda outdoing the daily hate playbook for pure political ends and right-wing affiliation is the chief architect of the far-right's rise in the UK and beyond…++1/3

The EU could serve Trump a lethal dose of his own medicine, in meddling in the internal affairs of its member states and turn up the heat on his administration ahead of the midterm elections.

🇺🇸 🗳️🚨 Make No Mistake. The US midterms are set to be the reckoning “the zero hour” between the AI machine-engineered backing extreme far-right with algorithm disinformation and the majority of America voters,compounded with Russian disinformation campaign that researchers warned it’s already started.

🇬🇧 The world quietly redrawing its map of trust. As Canada tells investors “you are safe here," Britain held back by the prospect of its extreme far right in power just like Brexit can only watch the ripples of own self-inflicted damage spread.Reputation is the one empire you cannot rebuild by decree

Assuming a UK living wage of ~£14/hr and a 7-day week in service or non-9-to-5 work, they still won’t be able to afford it. Whoever wishful posh thinker made up this stat index in generalisation must have assumed working class folks get £20+/hr, even with zero outgoings

🚨⛔️🚨 Extremists keep posting that they could be arrested for abusing people online or spreading disinformation and malicious smears. The answer is: yes, rightly so. These are crimes, and the law exists precisely for this…1/3

⛔️⛔️ It is very concerning that the Good Law Project has reported that dozens of UK police forces are testing surveillance and private data hoarding technology supplied by the controversial tech company Planter.So far,there has been no formal debate about this intrusive, unethical, and troubling move.

🤬😢 Erdoğan, emboldened by the west populist and far right, just said "hold my pint" and went straight back to the old textbook: arresting in masses and demonizing LGBTQ people as a "deviant movement" while dressing it up as boosting "family values." Same old playbook. Same old hate.

I am deeply dismayed by the timing and the appeals made by the so-called Celtic independence movements, which have been further amplified by certain media outlets that thrive on our division. It feels as though our national unity has already endured more than its share of fractures

Day in, day out through the Trump years: courts finding his administration acted unlawfully. Rulings, appeals, escalations to the Supreme Court. I lost count. This can't be normal…++

Bild

🇸🇦 🇬🇧 Let us set aside Trump’s wars and concede the UK is stretched in every direction, but make no mistake: we owe Saudi Arabia a profound historical obligation as our foremost ally in the region, its security is a paramount national interest, and we must be ready to step in and defend it…++

“The establishment got it out for me” ,sound Just like the familiar clichés career criminal says about the police: “It's not about what I did; it's about who I am to them”🤔.

🧵 1/6 I'm not an expert on crypto or financial regulation,and that's exactly the problem. When billionaires appear overnight and drug cartels run industrial-scale mining farms,”trust me,it's all above board"stops being an answer.We need focused reporting on how this money actually inter the system.
