For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

ted.
In this context I feel obliged to state once more that - like the hundreds of protesters arrested last weekend - I too support Palestine Action. If this makes me a "supporter of terror" un-
der UK law, so be it. My books, at least for now, are still published in Britain, and are widely available in bookshops and even supermarkets. In recent years the UK's state broadcaster has also televised two fine adaptations of my novels, and therefore regularly pays me residual fees. I want to be clear that I intend to use these pro-ceeds of my work, as well as my public platform generally, to go on support-ing Palestine Action and direct action against genocide in whatever way I can. If the British state considers this
"terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith
and the BBC.

Wow Sally Rooney. Fair play.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

The date is June 12, 2025.

The location is Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

A U.S. Senator who questioned this President's actions was forcibly thrown to the ground by armed officers.

This is the America Trump always wanted. It’s up to us to save our country.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

Former ABC News correspondent and anchor Terry Moran has joined Substack.

He says he can’t wait to β€œget at the important work that we all have to do at a time of such trouble in our country.”

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

I couldn’t do this last term: every single time I look at this baby I instantly cry. I’ve often wondered what ever happened to her, if she’s ok. These babies, these innocent sweet babies who did NOTHING to deserve this break my heart.

If your response to this video is, β€œThat’s what I voted for”—
Fuck you. Fuck you very much.

You’re heartless.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

'I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time’

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 63 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Pandering to Reform is no way to run a country In Australia, Labor won the general election this weekend by opposing anything that looked vaguely aligned with the thinking of Trump. Mark Carney did the same in naming the Canadian general election...

Pandering to Reform is no way to run a country www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05... Driving the UK ever more towards being a racist state is not the way for any decent government to run the UK.

Greg Abbott is pushing the β€œFURRIES Act” claiming schools are giving litter boxes to students who act like cats.

But when I asked the bill author, he couldn’t name one school providing litter boxes to kids.

This is all part of Abbott’s smear campaign against our public schools.

The far-right, autism, ADHD, SEND and the need to respect and celebrate diversity Nigel Farage was at his very worst yesterday. As The Guardian reported: Nigel Farage has claimed that doctors are β€œmassively over-diagnosing” children with special educational needs and disabilities ...

Farage, Badenoch and the US far-right are all lining up to attack people with autism, ADHD and other conditions that indicate people might have special educational needs. The move is sinister, wrong and profoundly worrying.

On Marriot's site, I said thanks to Mr. Capuano for:
1. Supporting DEI
2. Actually being hospitable in a hospitality industry
3. Not succumbing to Trump's ever escalating extortion plan for private industry
Glad I joined your BonVoy rewards program! People should join to show support. It's free.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: β€œWe welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying β€œthank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.
