I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Jared Kushner was allegedly paid $50 million by a foreign government to get former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson fired. trib.al/gANTbMx

Race Across The World but it's Flávio and Bibi on the run from Lula and the ICC

oooooh

Positive stories like these are much needed to be populated everywhere right now. Ronnie - also a trustee with @sdvisitors.bsky.social 💖 www.thenational.scot/politics/266...

Anyway our BBC gives him acres of free coverage, for reasons we might one day unearth.

ONCE MORE, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. At no point does Reynolds say it is. What is more, a 'government spokesperson stressed there were no current discussions on freedom of movement'. So how does the BBC arrive at this headline?!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Could centuries of secrecy about who owns our land soon end? A new government consultation proposes revealing who owns up to 95% of England and Wales. To stop this being blocked by big landowners, I need your help to send in supportive evidence. Here’s how: whoownsengland.org/2026/10/27/c...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

If you’ve visited Switzerland, you’ve probably seen the big orange M of Migros, one of the country’s two grocery giants. Migros is famous for its 10 regional cooperatives, a truly federal structure often cited as a parallel to the 26 Swiss cantons. Today, Migros announced to abolish that structure

Must sleep but these figures coming in from Brazil…

Just to underline the point that the Trump administration is anti-democracy, they are promoting the textbook exemplar for democratic backsliding to lead the UN. Also, good time to point out that the US has not paid its UN dues, and now owes it more than $4 billion. www.wsj.com/opinion/vikt...

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

À Strasbourg, la police a passé à tabac deux manifestants, dont l'un était déjà blessé, et les street medics venus lui porter secours. 📹 @/elyxandro sur Instagram

Been reading about a lot of very bad but entirely ordinary people throughout history for the next season of Past Lives (Everyday Villains). This guy is utterly typical. 1) Doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. 2) Permission structure in a system of hierarchical authority. 3) Benefits materially.

Mobilisation du 24 octobre : Libé s’est procuré une vidéo qui confirme l’attitude passive voire complaisante de la police à Nancy où des militants d’extrême droite agressaient le cortège syndical En savoir plus ➡️ https://l.liberation.fr/yMi

I mean, imagine for a second what kind of headlines we'd have seen if, say, Seamus Milne was caught on camera with, for eg, the IRA, talking about having people killed. Do we think it's not very clear and obvious what the reason for the disparity in coverage is, here?

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

Bigots descended on Herne Bay, Kent, England today with chants of 'Save our nation - remigration' 'End the invasion -remigration'. Most shockingly they chanted 'England for the white man'. These are white supremacists not 'concerned citizens'. Britain you've a serious problem, sort it out NOW!

Yes, but your two big ideas so far have been police and crime commissioners and Brexit. Shall we check on them first?

So here we have far-right militia attacking protestors and when the protestors defend themselves, the police charges them... Montpellier. These images are crazy and show where France is at regarding its fascist turn.

Bird flu came out of industrial poultry farming, and has been devastating wild bird populations ever since. Via industrial fur farming, it now threatens to do the same to us. Animal farming is one of the greatest dangers to life on Earth.

Les militants fascistes ont attaqués des manifestants rue de la Loge sous les yeux de la police, quand les manifestants ont répliqués, la police a chargé pour les protéger et les miliciens ont frappés les gens à terre ! #Montpellier #24octobre #ViolencesPolicieres @info.gouv.fr

I dunno man. Is 4/5ths of a billion dollars enough recompense for YET MORE abuse of more than a thousand children by the priests and clergy of the Catholic Church?

Reagan talked about welfare queens in Cadillacs, Trump talks about Somalian thieves in Mercedes Benzes, because being *real* racist has been a core strategy Republican politicians for a very long time, even if prior to Trump a lot of folks who should have known better enjoyed pretending otherwise.

This is Shaya, a Persian leopard rescued from poachers who tried to sell her on the black market. With gentle care at a wildlife rehab centre, she's only just learning to trust again. Only 1,000–1,200 remain in the wild, mostly in Iran 🐆

Currently wondering what message the UK govt thought it was sending by dressing up the Minister for Net Zero in a literal Shell logo.

You realise this ends with Prime Minister Farage on TV vowing a ruthless crackdown on racism, right

I give it two weeks before the world’s most poisonous media outlets start hounding fuck out of named, individual teachers. They can’t stop the public recognising crimes against humanity, but they can deliver truckloads of grief to members of the public pour encourager les autres.

Jack Ross, CEO of Turning Point UK and a former Conservative election candidate, has been suspended from the party in the wake of undercover sting by Al Jazeera reportedly showing him discussing the cost of hiring contract killers. Story from @benquinn75.bsky.social and me

Another one here where the British press just smashed fuck out of a member of the public’s life for no good reason, just because they wanted to and nobody will stop them doing at. And they’re still going, even now.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Trump's waiver of energy sanctions on Russia has an even darker, more corrupt, side that initially thought. Trump is planning to allow a Russian energy giant to control a big chunk of energy exports from Alaska. Trump and his cronies profit; America loses. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

The report, 'The Need for Speed', urged the MoD to cut 'paperwork', relax scrutiny of new deals and scale existing contracts without fresh competitions. At the same time, the MoD handed Palantir a £240m follow-on contract – without competition.

A mysterious "cold blob" that has appeared off the coast of Greenland may be a warning sign that the AMOC is weakening, with potentially devastating consequences. Watch our video explainer now.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Still ageing like milk

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
