Oh, that is brilliant....

Wow. The Bessent FT op-ed on the US economic development plan for Ukraine is quite something. This is a nineteenth century great power behaviour. www.ft.com/content/91a7...

Relax everyone, he’s just trolling us…

So, let's hope you're not on maternity leave, or in a war zone, or in training, or at home with the flu, or just on holiday hiking up a mountain. Because Elon - an entirely unelected foreigner, with zero security clearance, who apparently now runs the US - will decide everyone's fate, every Monday.

Ukraine has no choice but to defend itself. Mass graves in Izium and Bucha, torture chambers in Kherson, the rape and murder of children, kidnapping, and looting—this is the reality of russian occupation. Occupation doesn't mark the end of Russian war crimes; it merely conceals them.

Weaponised weeknotes DOGE is destroying our entire digital way of working. How do we advocate for what digital does now without coming over as DOGE?

Ooh, I know: the Black guy and the woman. Not qwhite sure why, though.

I tend to not use "Tory" for the Conservatives anymore because in my view since the early 2010s the party has gradually abandoned much of the ideology and style that once defined Tory values. The Conservatives have been consumed by a post-Tory New Right movement

Apparently, Calvin Robinson is resorting to desperate measures to try and wheedle his way back into the church.

Was literally talking to a former senior UK MoD person involved in nuclear matters who was terrified Trump would figure out the Trident common pool could be leverage with Starmer—now this in the FT www.ft.com/content/762c...

NSA Mike Waltz: “What better could you have for Ukraine than to be in an economic partnership with the United States” as a way to ensure Ukraine’s security. Well, let’s ask Canada, Mexico, or the EU how they feel about their economic partnership with the US today.

Nigel Farage & Liz Truss happy at an event too fascistic even for the political heir to the Le Pens… www.bbc.com/news/article...

It'd be awesome if @whitehouse.senate.gov asked Attorney General Bondi if she has issued some kind of finding that foreign donations are cool now, so long as they're covered up nicely. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/22/p...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Europe is our future. The only alternative is appeasing Trump who will continually demand more and more until we break.

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

This is extremely important.. by Alexander Vindman open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

My favourite part of the new Captain America movie is when he tries to extort Wakanda for $500b in Vibranium rights before "ironically" teaming up with Hydra to own the libs.

Generals: Please keep funding aid, it's vital to national security. Spooks: Please keep funding aid, it's vital to national security. Some Lib-Dem who got made "Minister of State for Europe and the Americas" for 18 months 13 years ago: "I HAZ A THOUGHT!"

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Yeah, guess which ones got fired?

Some good news for once. Calvin's US visa has been revoked. Crowdfund incoming.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

So funny her not being funny 🤣

😂So true

I can’t just sit by and pretend I’m not seeing what I’m seeing So, like, the Nazis are in charge now huh? I literally just watched multiple WWII documentaries over the past few months. It’s not funny, it’s not a joke. Like WTF. Grandparents & ancestors who fought this rolling in their graves now

US military personnel killed in the Europe/Atlantic theatre of war 1942-1945, that is, fighting the Nazis so they wouldn't salute a dictator like this anymore: About 250,000 (US Department of Defense, January 2025)

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

There are many mysteries and ambiguities in life but the nature of this gesture is not among them. It's a Nazi salute.

ça ira, ça ira, ça ira (please be fair, share the original, dont copy) I'm not going to be very subtle again. Like in the old days... REVOLUTION #trump #fucktrump #unrealmemories #elonmusk #nazi #meme #memes #fascism

Just looking at the latest YouGov poll - the Tories are on 9% with people under 50. It is not clear to me how this helps with that problem.

CJEU, upcoming March 24th: hearing on whether EU e commerce directive precludes national law on child access to porn March 27th: opinion on whether WhatsApp can challenge European Data Protection Board

here's today's post: "bizarros, freaks and incels gather at buffoonpalooza" — the CPAC circus is in town. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

I do swear, that if Trump announced that 2 and 2 now made 5, the Republican Party would dutifully agree.

A quick reminder from 2021: "Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

Bravo! Farage called out; that's the way! More should do this 👏👏
