This powerful new documentary reveals how Russia’s hybrid warfare infiltrated British democracy, amplified the Brexit campaign, and helped deliver a result that aligned perfectly with Putin’s strategic goals: 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲, 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗨𝗞, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁. youtu.be/7geWA0YYYaQ?...

Splendid stuff from @ledbydonkeys.org celebrating that *intellectual colossus* Daniel Hannam’s Brexit Independence Day These careless rich tossers like Hannam that have been beggaring our country have also been rewarded by other careless, rich tossers like Johnson 🤡 Hannam 🤡 is now in the Lords.

So we’re turning ourselves into a fortified bunker/internal police state in order to a) keep people out who want to sponge off our already meager welfare state that Trump is currently gutting & b) keep out foreigners who might bomb us, meanwhile Trump is illegally bombing Iran. Do I have that right?

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi today announced he will travel to Moscow in the coming hours for urgent talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, shortly after the United States launched airstrikes against three Iranian nuclear sites.

Keir Starmer endorses an attack which his own Attorney General has advised may be illegal

In the coming weeks a bill will go through Parliament where MPs will vote on proposed cuts to disabled people’s social security An analysis by @trusselluk.bsky.social shows if it passes 440,000 disabled people & their families will be forced into severe hardship Ask your MP to vote against it

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Sen. Chris Murphy: "I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States."

Signs I’m very English - omg trump has just declared WW3, on his own- IN A BASEBALL CAP! The later being the most important. Gee my priorities eh

Which has so many angles to it

Fair assessment.

The War Powers Act of 1973 gives the president legal authority to order use of force abroad ONLY with a formal declaration of war, specific Congressional authorization, or a NATIONAL EMERGENCY. And unlike some ambiguous emergency rules, the law specifies it's an attack on the US or American forces.

The racism is off the charts with this regime.

Grok citing Media Matters while Elon Musk is trying to sue them out of existence for reporting on how he turned Twitter into a Nazi bar

Elon Musk should not hold such power as to alter Ai sources when they show him to be a facist.

Currently having to sign onto UC from ESA. Lack of id means a face to face - first here yet they are making me wait despite me wearing a mask / people are going to die basically and get worse .

Grok’s going to get one of Musk’s updates again. Can’t wait to see what conspiracy theory it just repeats nonstop this time.

Rachel Reeves considers softening inheritance tax changes amid non-dom backlash. That is tax concessions to the ultra rich, non-doms, private equity; won't hike corporation & capital gains tax rates. But benefit cuts OK. Anyone listens to the poor?

70,000 more Britons to lose disability benefits than originally expected. Estimates up from 370,000 to 440,000, could lose £4,500 a year each. How many die? Govt averse to taxing corporations and the rich. Tell your MP to oppose cuts. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.

Have you heard of the Activity Trap? Research by @activityalliance.bsky.social shows that half of Disabled people fear losing our benefits if we are seen to be physically active. ❌A more punitive benefits system will only lead to worsening physical and mental health

This is happening tomorrow. A few tickets left if anyone else would like to come.

One of the guys who arrested NYC Comptroller @bradlander.bsky.social today is wearing jeans and a black t-shirt that says "si vis pacem, para bellum" which means "if you want peace, prepare for war" in Latin. An interesting wardrobe choice for someone we're expected to regard as law enforcement.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

#BBC #Persian Special Corr Kasra Naji #BBCr4today talks of the intolerable situation for those in #Tehran, a city of 15m people, told by #DonaldTrump to evacuate. He asks where should/could that many people go+if this is about nuclear facilities, why is the city being targeted? #IsraeliranWar

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

If not Gestapo, why Gestapo shaped?
