Activists from the group Everyone Hates Elon unveiled a giant photo of US President Donald Trump with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein near Windsor Castle on Sept. 15, 2025. The protest coincided with Trump's state visit to the UK hosted by King Charles III.
Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
The conversation around Labour’s 10-Year Health Plan is growing — and so are concerns about creeping privatisation. We’re not letting this slide. The public deserves real answers 💬 🚨https://everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/show-us-the-money-keir #StopPrivatisation #SaveNowPayLater #PFIs
Some photos from the Trump visit protest I attended in Aberdeen yesterday. Excellent speakers. A peaceful vibe of solidarity. As much as we despise the person, he’s a symptom of a much wider problem. For ALL of us! Reject fascism!!! 🏴🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦
Donald Trump is a dangerous authoritarian who is who is actively working to undermine democratic institutions and basic human rights, at home and aroud the world. If Labour can’t even stand against Trump, they don’t stand for anything at all.

This seems a clear argument for Scotland being a colony of England. I've seen some insisting that the view is nonsense (eg SNP's Mhairi Hunter), but if we're *not* a colony, what are we? Partners can choose. We're not allowed to. So what *are* we? angrypict.substack.com/p/what-is-a-...

The main political divide today is not left vs right, nor progressive vs conservative. It is between those who care about others and egotists.
