So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Got to wonder whether Musk’s attack on the UK is prompted by our firm support for Ukraine. If he’s in contact with Cummings this would make even more sense. His tech disruption coincides with Kremlin talking points. See regular attacks on @carolecadwalla.bsky.social & @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

🚨🚨 This. This. Very much this. From a political and legal point of view, given current polling and any kind of electoral considerations it seems absolutely non-sensical for Labour to not be bolder and more ambitious its EU reset (read; no need to argue for #rejoin tomorrow). 👇

Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back? Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine bylinetimes.com/2024/12/12/t...

Trump, Musk + Putin holding hands. Supporting the genocidal Aggressor Armed Forces of Ukraine has over half a million followers. Do everything you can to support Ukraine …promote their stories and news. Musk is bending over to help Russia. How utterly shitty is that?

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️
