It is hard to be excited about anything, especially with the recent events. But instead of being bitter, we strive to carry on. We create, we tell stories, we share stories... that is how we fight and persevere. 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

Screenshot of a post on X (Twitter) in dark mode. The verified Democrats account (@TheDemocrats) posts the text, “You’re a fucking liar with blood on your hands.” The post quotes a tweet from Stephen Miller (@StephenM), also verified, saying: “A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists,” followed by a truncated link. The post shows a timestamp of 4:31 PM on Jan 24, 2026, and 599.4K views.

Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.

“Why can’t we have any regulations for US tech in Britain?”

Because the US trade rep has gone to every country including Britain and said if we regulate tech in a way that favours our people, industries and national interests, the US will bury us in tariffs and ruin our economy.

Tim Walz: "I want Minnesotans to hear this from me. The desire to get out and protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is -- that is a patriotic duty at this point in time. But it needs to be done safely."

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.

Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
