“If Putin gets his way, the great dictators will carve up Ukraine, with America – once Europe’s ally – a willing handmaiden to European borders being redrawn to suit Moscow” Analyst and former diplomat @snellarthur.bsky.social on Maga’s masterplan to stoke unrest in Europe

Outstanding

For the first time, the British government has acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum. So who did BBC Newsnight invite on to discuss what happened? Sergei Markov, Putin’s former spokesman. Par for the course, says Nerve co-founder @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 1/

I'm so pissed off that I've taken to ranting into my empty kitchen cabinet. Here's me on why Farage is wrong about everything. Thank you for listening.

Adam is my friend, so I'm biased. But he's a darned sight better than the rest of them. Which presumably is why Badenoch fears him. Which is presumably why he's banned.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

I love this woman. If only her words could reach all human ears. A must watch till the end, Speaker-Vandana Shiva is an Indian scholar, environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, ecofeminist and antiglobalization author. #WomeninLeadership IG: @maturedgirl

This isn't fundamentally an affordability question. It is about inequality, political priorities and whose interests government chooses to protect. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/09...

@ottoenglish.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social Dear Otto. Huge congratulations on coup getting this interview in Byline Times. It’s a great insight to the thinking of the man and a masterpiece of client journalism I will treasure always

In 1988, Sesame Street mocked a greedy real estate tycoon named Ronald Grump who wanted to bulldoze the neighborhood for luxury towers. Sound familiar?

Southend United head coach Kieran Dyer was challenged by his players to see how many Michael Jackson songs he could reference in his answers to the media…not a single person noticed and the money will be going to charity.

#BBCNews has a cosy chat with Nigel Farage, while #c4news investigates him. That's why Channel 4 News is the best news service in the UK.

It’s bad enough that we have sold our water, electricity, gas, rail, telecoms and postal services to corrosive and voracious (vulture) capitalism but it now seems our culture is for sale too. Not even a culture benefactor! www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

In 1967 Muhammad Ali refused the Vietnam draft and lost his title the same day. He stayed out of boxing for almost four years before the Supreme Court cleared him in 1971.

Nigel Farage (2016), "It's legitimate to say.. If people feel that voting doesn't change anything" "Then violence is the next step"

Remember this? The criminal speaks ~

In 2001, Walter Cronkite appeared on the David Letterman show and shared his thoughts.

While the west refused to provide any assistance to the ANC in the fight against apartheid & instead called them terrorists, you know who did help? The Palestinians. 👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

This is a brilliant idea to force corporations to either raise pay rates for their employees or lower their payouts to CEOs 💯💯💯🎯

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Liz Oyer has something to tell us. #USDemocracy

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.
