If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Boycott American products. Boycott anyone that advertises on GB News. Simple direct action that hits them where it hurts. Financially. Express your disgust with your wallet.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

Puerile I know, but I derive some pleasure from knowing that with all that jigging about, he’s simultaneously fouling his strides. Sorry-not-sorry…

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I've walked under these beautiful trees in #Falmouth almost every day for nearly 25 years. Have we learned nothing from the wanton felling of street trees in Sheffield & Plymouth? Do consider signing the petition if you're local. chng.it/DjhXqwLbwP

This is a masterpiece with so many layers. 1. Complete lack of responsibility, obviously. 2. STILL somehow manages to sanewash blatant racism as "issues raised" 3. Pivots immediately to, "but what does this mean for Farage?" lobby horserace bullshit.

When the stupid reveals itself..once again.. We don’t do kings, no matter how hard you try, asshole 🖕🏻 #SheShed

America will have to live with the shame of what's happening here for years. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Way to go, Sheryl!!

This is real. And I have never seen the competence, morals, standards and communication strategy of any government collapse so fast.

He nails it.

Trump is often called "transactional". But a transaction is usually an exchange freely entered into by willing parties. His intended looting of Ukraine's resources isn't a transaction, it's a mafia shakedown.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Ukrainians & Londoners marching in a powerful show of solidarity with Ukraine, now entering its 4th year of resistance to invasion by war criminals. No to Putin. No to Trump. No to all fascists & imperialists, whether in Washington or Moscow. (video by @lynnrusk on X) @ukrainesol.bsky.social

To be fair - we should probably put NATO into administration and drive Europe to fill the defence space... ...a *complete* reversal of the previous dynamic, I am fully aware, but actually a huge opportunity for Europe (manufacturing, R&D, hard power, cybersecurity, procurement cohesion, etc, etc).

Read all about it!

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Love to see it!

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Wise man…

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

This is really something

"Trump may have been involved in an unparalleled and inexplicable pact with the US government to remain above the law, one that was likely buffered by criminal actors and hostile foreign states." On his missing taxes, from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT: bookshop.org/p/books/hidi...
