Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearing… But he’s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. That’s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.

You've got to hand it to Elon Musk - getting 71% of British people to agree on anything is impressive

One of America's most famous cities is on fire and the richest man in the country hasn't paid a penny to assist people whose lives have been destroyed by the fires. He has, however, been busy spewing disinformation and encouraging people to loot. Because worthless trolls are like that.

Interesting

The UK public overwhelmingly say US oligarch Elon Musk is a threat to democracy and trying to sabotage their country. The majority see him as a joke and opportunist. "Musk is a deeply unpopular figure in the UK, with a net favourability rating of -35, lower than Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson."

It's just insane how many Americans think Trump is better for the economy than Biden.

I'm telling my grandkids that these were the first six presidents of the 21st Century:

I’ve often said Musk’s X is like Cambridge Analytica gone global, and it has the same backers - Steve Bannon and now Dominic Cummings

"Appeasement is feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last." Looking at you NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN, Joe & Mika, ABC News...

I just knew that Cummings hadn't disappeared from the scene. The UK's version of Steve Bannon.

Samuel Charap's "Peace" Plan for Putin open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

🚨🇫🇮🇪🇪 European Commission foreign relations head Kaja Kallas accused Russia's Shadow Fleet of damaging an undersea power cable connecting Estonia and Finland.

Another voice silenced by the Islamic Republic of Iran. ❗️#FREECECILIA Renowned Italian Journalist Cecilia Sala, known for her courageous reporting from conflict zones has been arrested and is being held in solitary confinement in Iran. Freedom of Press is not a crime.

Sound off if you’re still adamantly and unapologetically PRO Ukraine and PRO NATO 🇺🇦

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

First Zuckerberg, now Bezos: Amazon to donate $1m to Trump’s inaugural fund. Musk supports far right in Germany, plans to fund Reform in the UK. We are all pawns in billionaires' game of thrones in a corrupt political system. Backlash is long overdue. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

Good evening, My second starter pack for #FBPE campaigns is ready! Team #FBPE will use this to announce and coordinate our campaigns in support of the European Union. Our first campaign will be held in January to support the pro-EU opposition in Georgia.

Trump was finally right about something An immigrant took his job

BREAKING: Elon Musk endorses neo-Nazi pro-Putin AfD party in German elections. The AfD supports mass deportation of non-ethnic Germans — including German citizens — and pro-Nazi anti-Semitic policies and propaganda, including calling the Holocaust a “myth.”

BBC’s Chris Mason calls Farage a “master of storytelling” Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.

Alice im Naziwunderland: Elon Musk twittert auf X in den Wahlkampf eingreifend, dass nur die AfD Deutschland retten könnte. Damit wäre die Frage, ob die AfD wie andere rechtsextreme und rechtspopulistische Gruppen auch von Elon Musk gestützt wird, erschöpfend geklärt. Schaltet X in Europa ab.

The AfD just had three members arrested for plotting a violent overthrow of governments in East Germany to install a Nazi regime.

Looks like it’s time to start dusting off this ol’ guy again.

This cover is more like it.

Due to the hesitation of Europe and the US, and Israel's invasion / attacks. Russia has been granted talks with the new Syria government about keeping forces at the naval port in Tartus and the air base at Hmeimim Syria, this would resume resource shipments to Russia and aid their invasion effort.

Five years ago today, the Conservatives were handed another five years in power and a majority of 80 seats. And this man, who now bleats about every one of their catastrophic failures, giftwrapped that term for them. Never let Farage forget, he was their king-maker. ~AA

“Everyone in positions of influence should ask themselves the question: are you treating those fighting to save the planet more harshly than those fighting for inherited wealth? If so, why?” @josiah.writes.news bylinetimes.com/2024/12/12/t...

The approximate route of russian missiles and drones during the morning attack - the main target was the western regions, just a few kilometers from NATO territory. As if putin wants to show the world that NATO is not reacting anyway.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... Two weeks this has been running & only 1027 have signed it , it's a pretty poor showing that people are not taking this seriously or just can't be bothered . If a terminally ill man can make a stand surely you can stand with me ?

Everyone needs to be aware of this @the-bma.bsky.social

"Ted, can you drive down to London in the tractor and tell the government I'd quite like to avoid paying their tax"

Joe Biden remains the best jobs president ever.

My country was occupied for 50 years by the Soviet Union. Maybe the guns fell silent, but it wasn't peace. Ukraine, all of it, deserves nothing less than real and lasting peace.

Tucker Carlson, a far-right political commentator close to the incoming U.S. administration, released an interview with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Dec. 5.

From cozying up to dictators like Putin to switching positions and parties as soon as it's politically advantageous, the only quality of Tulsi Gabbard's you can rely on is her selfish thirst for power. That makes her a very dangerous pick to lead our national intelligence.

Following discussion here earlier, MI5 has now shifted its focus to tackling interference in the UK from Russia, China and Iran. That’s a big strategic change.

Vladyslav Voloshyn, a spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces, stated that the Russian military is trying to gain a foothold in the island area near Kherson and is constantly conducting assaults in the area. www.rbc.ua/rus/news/ros...

The trickle-down myth is deeply embedded in the American psyche and it’s beyond time to excise it.

“Pesticides that harm bees were found in the majority of English waterways tested in the last year” - Pesticides that are banned in the EU but allowed in the UK due to our Brexit ‘freedoms’ 🤔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@nicolastenzer.bsky.social Admiration for the #Georgian people demonstrating for the 5th day in a row He knows that if he lets go,he'll end up in russian hell that this is his last chance. He can't give up. He'll go all the way. #Georgia will never be russia The #Europeans should do much much more

BREAKING: Syrian opposition factions announce their full control over the 87th Brigade near the city of Hama, Syria.
