Hope the Europeans have read this when dealing with the shameful US ultimatum.

Fascinating thread and good to realise… maybe good to see how Grok would handle similar

In the face of disinformation, defenders of democracy are often drawn into endless battles against falsehoods. This is precisely the trap laid by anti-democratic movements. But we don’t have to play along. Read our our latest statement 👇 www.disinfo.eu/we-fight-dis...

Got blocked by Mick Wallace. 🤷‍♂️ An Irish troll: Sees 🇺🇦 & its large, nuclear armed neighbor with imperialist history of conquest against it, a language they don't respect & says "No parallels here, those are the good guys in all this" Eradication in Prez's new book 👇

owning a small business in 2025…

“Big Tech companies may be about to discover that not only are they never going to have access to the Chinese market but they are increasingly persona non grata in European markets, too.”

Excerpts from OBrien's substack👇 “...the week showed that any idea of their being a useful “ceasefire” in action is a dangerous myth. #Trump is not bringing peace to #Ukraine, though his flunkeys always claim he is. If anything, he is making things worse.” 1/4 #Russia #US #Europe

Donald Trump skipped the dignified transfer of four of our soldiers because he had to go golfing with the Saudis in the midst of a catastrophic stock market collapse he intentionally caused and you Yankee Doodle dipshits still think he gives a single flying fuck about this country?

The absolute callousness of announcing a 44% trade tariff against Myanmar this week, of all weeks.

I did not make this and don't know who did, all the same - lmao

It's April Fool's. Be careful of what you read from Kremlin in case it turns out to be laughable bullshit..... Oh.

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

And 2) Marine Le Pen conviction - an associate of hers (who was also convicted) got to bang on about how it was all politically motivated. Seems dangerously skewed to me… All in the context of a 5 min radio news update

listened to the news on BBC6 Music and I’m wondering why right wing commentary gets such space. 2 topics today 1) immigration to UK, where shadow minister got 30 seconds to go on about how great the illegal Rwanda scheme was …. #bbc

War is changing. Through smartphones and the internet, civilians can contribute to war fighting from the conflict zone or from the other side of the globe. “Crowdsourced War" describes this revolution and its dangers for civilians. Forthcoming in NYU Law Review. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

With regard to how to handle President Trump on trade, we learnt during Brexit that it is impossible to reason with a government determined to impose damage on itself and only prepared to listen to those who agree.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

CNN: A new poll gives us a sense of who Democrats and Democratic leaning voters think best aligns with the party's core values. And that's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year. The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.
