🇬🇧📝: Bluesky is excluded from the UK's ban on social media for teenagers.

Keir Starmer's social media ban is intended to hide criticism of him, his government, his party and the sore state Britain has degraded into, it has nothing to do with "protecting" children and teenagers.

Bluesky is a leftist/progressivist echo chamber, the only ideology tolerable in Starmer's UK.

🧑‍🎓 🇺🇸 ⚪️ White students now make up less than half of all Americans enrolled in school

Why it matters: America's future workforce and electorate are moving through schools strained by 20-year-low reading scores, teacher shortages and racial segregation at levels not seen since the 1960s.

The big picture: White (non-Latino, non-multiracial) student enrollment fell from 46.7 million in 2000 to 36.6 million in 2024.

Total school enrollment in 2024 was nearly 1 million below the 76.1 million enrolled in 2019 and almost 4 million below the modern peak of 79 million in 2011, according to the Axios review of census data.

Zoom in: The demographic shift is most visible in early childhood and K-12 education.

Higher education is the lone remaining sector where white students remain a majority (51.1%). This is likely to erode over the next decade as the more diverse K-12 pipeline ages into colleges and universities.

Between the lines: While Hispanic students enroll in all schools at high rates, college completion gaps remain significant: only 37.3% of Hispanic 20-to-21-year-olds are enrolled in college, compared to 53.9% of white students.

It's 78.6% for Asian Americans in the same age group.

🇺🇸🕊🇮🇷 Hegseth: The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won't seek one, won't buy one, won't have one.

Brennan: JCPOA said that too.

Hegseth: The huge difference is we did this from a position of strength.

📢 🇬🇧 ⚪️ Britain is a two tier state - against white people. | Nigel Farage

In England, police officers who handcuffed Henry Nowak as he died pleading for help triggered a wave of protests, and outrage on the part of the Prime Minister - not at the actions of the officers, or at the guidelines that led them to treat different ethnic groups in different ways, but at those who dared to point this out.

In Belfast, a barbarous assault caught on camera led to rioting. Again, the response: rightful condemnation of the unrest, yes, but also of those who asked how the attack on Stephen Ogilvie came to happen.

Each year now, it seems, we are confronted with a summer of unrest, and a Government paralysed by indecision, desperately trying to find a way to dismiss it. What should be shocking has become business as usual.

Once again, the establishment parties in Westminster are singing from the same hymn sheet - it’s just part and parcel of living in a modern city, nothing else to see - because they’re unwilling to acknowledge the real problem.

The underlying cause is simple. The British state is no longer working for everyone in this country. Across public and economic life, the power of the Government has been brought to bear on tackling “inequalities”, in a narrow and specific sense. Anything which is seen to disadvantage a minority group is cracked down on. Anything which benefits a minority and damages the White British is likely to be left alone.

British people fundamentally expect a fair deal. But there is nothing fair about the way White people have been treated by their governments.

A fish rots from the head, and local government has taken its DEI cues from the top. Westminster City Council ordered staff to undergo a “privilege” test, while giving preferential treatment to non-White “global majority” candidates over equally qualified White applicants. As basic services like bin collection are slashed, councils continue to commandeer public funds to spend on dubious contracts and opaque outsourcing.

But nothing demonstrates the state’s commitment to anti-Whiteness more than the ironically named “Equality Act”. It’s through this legislation that anti-Whiteness is institutionalised into every aspect of public life.

To be totally clear, this isn’t anyone’s definition of equality. I suppose activists would call it “equity” - picking and choosing a supposedly disadvantaged group and giving them a leg up at the expense of another. I’d put it more bluntly. It was discrimination.

It gets worse. The Conservative government decided in all its wisdom to strengthen the public sector equality duty, forcing public bodies to publish “equality objectives”, and annual reports on equality information. Overnight, the Tories created a gigantic legal burden for the public sector that necessitated the creation of a permanent class of DEI bureaucrats. Is it any wonder that the Human Resources sector seems to be the only part of the economy that’s actually functioning?

While the Equality Act doesn’t permit “positive discrimination”, it does allow “positive action” where minority groups are allowed access to exclusionary outreach schemes. Section 159 also allows employers to use a “tiebreaker”, discriminating against a White candidate if an equally qualified candidate with a protected characteristic has also applied. The Equality Act has also encouraged informal methods of discrimination, from lowering standards to reduce disparities.

For now, however, we can see the effects of this legislation on the ground. Young people entering the world of work are met with an explicitly two-tier system. Thanks to the Equality Act, “positive action” is rife, tilting the playing field against the White British.

🇮🇱🤝🇸🇴 Somaliland President Abdirahman Irro said his arrival in Tel Aviv marked a “historic milestone” in the territory’s relationship with Israel, the only UN member state to recognize Somaliland’s independence from Somalia.

Located on the strategic Horn of Africa, Somaliland has functioned as a de facto state since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991, with its own governing institutions and security structures – despite receiving no recognition from any UN member state until Israel recognized it in December.

Somaliland’s geography explains its importance. Overlooking one of the world’s busiest maritime arteries, it holds proximity to trade flows linking Asia, Africa, and Europe. 

Israel is seeking closer ties with Somaliland as part of its effort to establish military bases in the port city of Berbera, thereby allowing it to project power in the Red Sea, including in the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait, where Yemen's Ansarallah movement is now dominant.

In November 2025, in response to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, Yemen's Armed Forces imposed a maritime blockade targeting vessels traveling through Bab al-Mandab bound for Israeli ports.

With this vulnerability exposed, Israel made securing these waterways a core component of its national security planning.

Israel’s close ally, the UAE, has also courted Somaliland to help it project power into the Red Sea, Yemen, and Sudan.

The UAE has had an agreement since 2017 for a military base at Berbera International Airport that served as a logistics hub for Emirati operations in the Yemeni and Sudanese civil wars.

🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️ — Iran's airspace is completely empty.

➡️ Everything points at Iran launching a retaliatory attack on Israel very soon.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷🇮🇷📝: Trump claiming ignorance to Israel's decision to try and assassinate a Hezbollah commander in Dahiyeh is par for the course with him and his track record as a businessman

Trump and Israel want to get an MoU but still give Israel the freedom to bomb Lebanon whenever it pleases and possibly even bomb Iran itself with "Love taps" as Trump called them.

Trump doesn't want a deal that won't give him the pre-war status quo where the U.S. had total freedom of movement in the Middle East and Persian Gulf because the 3rd Gulf War has to be repeated in the next couple of months/years as he hasn't achieved anything with the current war.

Israel targeting the Dahiyeh neighbourhood is already testing the boundaries of Iran's determination to fight for Hezbollah and to see if they can trick the Iranians into agreeing to a document Trump and Israel have no intention whatsoever to actually respect.

The $12 billion bribe for Iran to not respond to the Israeli aggression, Trump's threat of retaliation if Iran follows through is exactly that: challenging Iran to fight while praying that for one reason or another, Iran won't fire back.
