Song of the Day 5/27/25
Tear the Fascists Down

This Woody song about WWII is still salient. It only needs a few changes.

This line is spot on!!!

“Good people, what are we waiting on?”

FUCK Trump/Putin/MAGA/GOP/ICE/HCI/DOGE/Bondi/Noam/Leavitt/Musk/Trump Regime!!!

Hello #booksky, an unusual one - does anyone know of a popular book that focuses on organic chemistry for general readers? Maybe something along the lines of Addy Pross's What Is Life? Really interested in something that centres organic chemistry - so not one of the many books on the periodic table!

We know the threat Reform poses – to our communities, our democracy and our precious liberal values. We know where their divisive, destructive brand of politics could lead.

Other parties can't or won't stand up to them. It's up to us to be the antidote to Reform's hate and division.

For years, thinking of those who fled the Nazis in Europe, I've wondered what event would show it's time to leave the U.S.

Is it when one of the topic's greatest experts takes leave from Yale for a position in Toronto? They're lucky, but I'm a bit shaken. munkschool.utoronto.ca/person/timot...

You won't see this on the BBC, because Lib Dem leader Ed Davey is attacking Deform UK, not praising them.

Ed Davey, "Let's stand up to Trump"

"Let's stand side by side with the EU and Canada"

"We should hit back with tariffs of our own starting with on Teslas Trump is so desperate to sell"

"And let's rebuild our trade with the EU"

Penelope Keith's career as a hitwoman has been outed by Russell Brand. But she is not the only one of our celebrated actresses to have had a secret past.

I've seen bratwurst you people wouldn't believe. Sausages on fire by the shoulder of Orion. I've seen saveloy's, glittering, by the grill gate. And all those hot dogs will be lost, like chipolata's, in the rain.

I have no words
The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.

This is 21st century Nazism.

Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.

Where is the global outrage?

The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

British so called Catholics???
Gavin Ashenden, a former BBC podcaster who these days is an occasional guest and writer for a number of mainstream British media outlets, performed a Nazi salute on Friday in unison with his fellow hosts of the "Catholic Unscripted" podcast in the UK. They say: "Our hearts go out to you."

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising.

He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.
