What is the point of fame if not to use it to do some good? Hugh Bonneville’s pleas for humanity in Gaza — on #BBCLauraK and in other interviews — has been articulate, dignified and profoundly moving. A fine actor, a fine man.

Welcome to a new month - February being the 49th month in which Russia has been attacking Ukraine.

It's Day 1439 and here comes another daily thread, all the important stuff, fact checked and without gratuitous gore, every single day.

This is excellent. A clear analysis, simply expressed and based on clear evidence. The kind of thing, dare one say, that should be in a mainstream newspaper.
The world looks a darker place than it did 30 years ago, and Britain is a much less happy country.

People are angry, and Reform UK says Britain is broken.

So how did we get here, and should we believe they can fix it?
Who broke Britain?
Reform says Britain is broken, and they offer radical change to put it right. But who broke it? We name the guilty parties.

Please read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social books including They Knew. Because…they did. And yet they did nothing. She explains why even as she hoped to be wrong.
The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.

If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

Hmmmm.

Is Mandelson a liar? Looks likely. I wonder how many times his name is in the #EpsteinFiles ?

👇👇👇
I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in

Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files

With Palantir and Mandelson both back in the news, it’s worth revisiting this — the Epstein/Mandelson/Thiel connection, and how Mandelson’s lobbying company introduced Starmer to the Palantir team

I've stumbled onto a live stream of Trump. Dear me, he rambles doesn't he? Slaggs-off everyone he doesn't like, praises those he thinks he likes. Goes around in circles, he created peace in the middle East, India is going to stop buying oil from Russia, Putin should have won his war in a week...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The brutality we are witnessing in Minnesota is nothing short of state-sponsored terror.

It is a horrific illustration of what unfettered power does in the hands of leadership that celebrates and demands violence, especially from men.
ICE violence is fueled by misogyny and white nationalism
How the Trump administration has mobilized state-sponsored terror in Minneapolis and beyond.

You've found the start of THE daily🧵 for Day 1435

The world refuses to acknowledge the obvious: Russia is not only a rogue, terrorist state which cannot be trusted. It's also one which will do anything, incl genocide until it's stopped

It's Day 1433 of Russia breaking all known laws and rules of combat, Geneva Conventions, morality and its own economy.

It's also called the illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Here's Monday's daily thread - and it's not been a bad start to the week for Ukraine.

Not OK with this
Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/
