Not enough attention on Blue Labour's insidious relationship with Thiel and Karp's CIA spytech company Palantir who have 24 contracts with UK public institutions, including the NHS, the Police Force, the Ministry of Defence, the Cabinet Office, and the DLUHC. No one voted for this.

Krasnov picks now to explain how poor Putin's feelings were hurt by being chucked out of the G8 - just because he seized Crimea and launched war in the Donbas! Now he's only slaughtering civilians nightly at random just for fun. Won't anyone think of the bloodsoaked mass murderers?

The seething nest of fascists that always has been, and apparently remains, the Home Office bows to nobody in its determination to inflict gratuitous pain and misery. Bet they can't wait for a Fartage government, then the gloves can really come off.

Farage is still "offering them snake oil". www.thenewworld.co.uk/jonty-bloom-...

This is perfect

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

"Grandma how did the 2025 pandemic start"

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

LAPD STARTED SHOVING AND HITTING PEOPLE UNPROVOKED!!! LAPD ARE THE AGGRESSORS NOT. US!!!

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

Let’s go Krasnov ! Russian TACO

Ukraine: Russian fascists bombed apartments in Kyiv again.

He will punish us because millions marched against him and so few showed up to his narcissist parade, you could hear the tanks squeaking. Once again crowd size will embarrass him. He’ll punish us and then he back down a little. Because he’s weak and unwell.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

Video shows massive crowd in Downtown Los Angeles protesting against Trump. The ‘No Kings’ protests mark the largest nationwide anti-Trump demonstration since his return to office. #NoKings #Trump #LA

The Dallas Express, which sued me (and lost) for calling it right wing propaganda, published an article suggesting in the form of a question that the assassination of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota could be "Democrats kill[ing] their own so they could turn around and blame Republicans?"

Thames Water is now controlled by two US credit powerhouses: Silver Point Capital and Elliott Management. Their game - asset stripping, profiteering, slick PR, devour; to get high returns. Govt can put an end by bringing water into public ownership, but refuses. People's misery to deepen.

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

The world is learning a very important truth about working with Americans: we have no honor.

Trump's privatization crimes now includes killing the EPA's Office of Research & Development. Killing agencies like the #EPA kills Americans. Join up, stand up, fight back with us to #SaveScience from these bastards. zurl.co/MLcss #StandUpForScience #SaveEPA #StopTrump zurl.co/ZILjP

Stop giving Netanyahu bombs and money. This is insane and horrifying.

Its a sign of how far Matthew Goodwin's stock has fallen that the Telegraph had to quietly clean up the mess of false claims in his recent story equating "one immigrant parent" with "not white."

Yet another example of why "20 is Plenty", where it is possible. @fam4safestreets.bsky.social

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

How on earth can the UK sanction two Israeli ministers yet — at the very same time — continue supplying weapons to the very government they serve? The UK’s position is becoming more absurd by the day. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Woke up this morning unemployed from our federal government positions. Might we make a small request? Please spend a few minutes today browsing the names & bios of #NEH staff, most of whom are now without jobs, before the agency erases us from its memory. #humanities www.neh.gov/about/staff

Chancellor talks about energy security but yet again - just another way of funding private capital. What about investing in renewables & nationalising our energy companies? What about energy efficiency & prioritising insulating homes of poorest households? Bring bills down. #SpendingReview

Award-winning scientist, Andrea Sella, has returned his Royal Society award in protest over the Society's continued apathy over Elon Musk. My latest substack in which I make the case that we need more scientists like Andrea, who are prepared to take a stand: open.substack.com/pu...

What is the cost of sending National Guard and active duty Marines to Los Angeles, where they are not needed? What is this political theater costing taxpayers? Talk about WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE.

Earlier Trump refused to transfer 20,000 missiles to Ukraine to fight the Shahed drones raining down on civilians. The United States and Ukraine had already agreed on the transfer when Trump decided to skirt the deal after his conversation with Putin. These scenes are Trump and Putin's fault.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

RFK Jr. is removing all members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which advises CDC. Claims this will "re-establish public confidence in vaccine science." Firing the people who know things will not make Americans more confident about public health. 🧪 www.cnbc.com/2025/06/09/r...

Oof. (Brad) Bondi lost bigly.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Une foule immense est rassemblée place de la République pour exiger la libération de l’équipage de la flottille de la liberté Libérez Rima, Greta, tous leurs camarades et la Palestine ✊ 🎥 Luc Auffret #FreedomFlotilla

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.
