Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

“Make them squirm! Get chucked out of the Oval Office.” “Take the lie, smash him round the head with it.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social doesn’t think the journalist who attempted to question Donald Trump on the leaked texts scandal went far enough.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Trump cannot be given a state visit to the UK. It should never have been offered. The invitation must now be withdrawn. You might as well hand it to Putin.

“Zelenskyy found himself ambushed by Trump and his serpentine vice-president, JD Vance. He was expected to sit back and take a beating from Nurse Ratched and Miss Trunchbull. He refused”. Superb piece by David Smith. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The notion that Zelensky is at fault for what occurred today is similar to the notion that Ukraine should be blamed for starting the war. Kyiv didn't ignite the conflict. Zelensky did not ignite the Oval Office brawl. Russia did the former, and Trump/Vance bear full responsibility for the latter.

There's a growing appreciation of the power of "empathetic leadership". Yet 52% of study respondents felt their organisation's efforts to be empathetic were dishonest. This suggests that while leaders are trying, many of us may be going about it wrong: t.co/2D5QlGLL4b. By tanmayvora.bsky.social

Listening to James O’Brien talk to Laurence Rees (writer of The Nazi Mind: 12 Warnings From History) is terrifying. The parallels between now and then are stark. Dehumanisation of targeted groups, using conspiracy theories to propel propaganda. Playing on innate fears. It’s happening again.

When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support. If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Your highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people. No leader deserves unconditional love. Commitment is earned through character.
