NEW: The Supreme Court is creating a due process gap through the redistribution of rights. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-suprem...

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

A Canadian woman was detained, sent to a detention center in Arizona for weeks, and deported only once the media got a hold of her story. She was repeatedly denied her rights along the way. She entered the country in Southern California. Nobody is safe while 47 is in office.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

Fascism is when a leader uses the power of the state to control or coerce private institutions—like Trump has tried to do with universities and private companies such as Apple. His attempts to dictate what schools can teach or how businesses should operate are textbook authoritarianism. Harvard

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The UK exports £360bn of goods to the EU, on which we now struggle with big non tariff barriers, compared to £60bn to the US. Imagine looking at this sh1tshow and thinking it vindicates Brexit in any way.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

There are calls for Lord Eric Pickles to resign from the House of Lords he complained to the Grenfell Inquiry that he was missing important lunches. Like if he needs to resign. RT if he needs to be fired.

The cost of reaching net zero in the UK by 2050 is now predicted to be just 0.2% of GDP (about £4 billion per year). Spread this far and wide. It reveals Reform and the Conservatives' opposition to net zero for being 'too expensive' as just plain wrong.

The bitch is back. I’ll be honest I was going to give it all up as it felt futile, I know what’s coming will be rough, and I’ve taken a beating in recent years. But… when good people do nothing, the bastards win. It’s on all of us to resist this nightmare, hard. My take… youtu.be/WWa1QzVOYjs

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

🤣

REMEMBER THIS FROM 2022? This is why Putin can never be trusted ever again. He lies all the time! Why do so many fail to remember that?

According to the trump Golf Tracker website, out of 29 days in office so far, trump has spent 7 of them golfing -- that's 24.14% ALREADY. What a fucking freeloader.

Anyone who uses the term 'DEI' in British politics is clearly importing their culture war labels from America. 'EDI' is the much more common version here in my experience. Going to start my campaign for British language for British culture wars.

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

‘It’s time to play the music It’s time to light the lights It’s time to do the bidding Of the Russian led Far Right’ Saw Kemi Badenoch came out in today’s Times firmly on the side of apprentice fascist JD Vance in yet another giant misreading of the room Populism will eat itself #bbclaurak

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

"Laboratories in a national network of 58 facilities responding to the spread of bird flu were notified Friday that 25 percent of the staff in a central program office coordinating their work were fired" Emerging 4th world country in North America! www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

More than a little concerned about the number of countries using Starlink & its various applications (incl military). I'm pretty sure there's very little Musk wouldn't be prepared to do if he felt the situation called for it.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

In this new world, if you're not around the table, you're on the menu. If China, Russia, US are allowed to decide Europe's future, our future won't be ours. European leaders...lead! on.ft.com/3CQFzlI

I need someone to answer this damn question!

Just let this sink in In 2016 Vote Leave marginally won The UK gov knew of Russian interference to deliver Brexit And despite that, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, and now Starmer have chosen to do what Putin wants- weaken Europe- instead of protect our democracy from Putin Shameful

Sorted. 😉😎

This was the quo for Trump’s quid. www.thecity.nyc/2025/02/10/e...

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who's noticed that ever since trump took over, planes are falling out of the sky, measles and tuberculosis on the rise, billionaires are getting richer, but egg prices are higher than ever. This administration is DEI as fuck.

Starmer is well aware of what needs to be done. Here is what he said when voting for Johnson's UK-EU deal. Services "a gaping hole", "lack of ambition", "Imperfect", "thin", "a basis to build on". Share, to show the PM that you back him going further and faster to improve our deal with the EU. ~AA

🚨 Why is no one talking about this order from Pam Bondi?! Page 2 of the Death Penalty Reinstatement Order says that “those who traverse our borders and remain in the USA without status”, get the the death penalty‼️

I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

NEW: Two planes crash on the runway at Scottsdale Airport. At least one person has died after an aircraft crash on the runway Monday at the Scottsdale Airport. Three other people onboard the plane have been taken to hospitals for treatment of their injuries. 🔗 www.abc15.com/news/region-...
