Global crisis style note: What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

How many child cancer researchers did they fire to pay for this?

This would be no loss to society www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

The Trump DOJ is big mad about their finest legal minds being humiliated in court

Elon Musk's pinned tweet right now.

Fkn dangerous maniac.

Wow. What a reply!

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

He nails it.

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

We need to be protesting outside US embassies across the world against their betrayal of Ukraine, democracy and all of us.

To everyone in #adtech that has refused privacy as a fundamental right and hasn't understood its importance for a functioning democracy: I'm sad to say you will now see the consequences it will have for American lives 😢

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce how the Elon Musk’s Election Interference Machine™ (EIM) works. Since Musk and his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, they’ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany and Romania. 1/23

It only takes 20 republican senators with guts to get rid of him.

The Democratic Governor of Maine, Janet Trafton Mills, had a sudden and intense confrontation with President Trump during a governors’ meeting. The clash took everyone by surprise and nearly escalated into a heated verbal exchange right in front of the cameras.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

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)

Trump following announcing that he’s king, saying ‘I am the federal law’, & suggesting he’s intending to remain in place for a third term, by replacing all military & legal leadership with loyalist goons couldn’t be a clearer signal of what’s to come.

This is the clearest commentary and description of the actions of this regime that I have heard. Thank you for providing the terms, framework, and most importantly as you assert THE LANGUAGE to address, resist, and attack this effort.

Trump amenaza con aranceles y otras represalias a la UE y el Reino Unido por imponer reglas de moderación de contenidos con las que combatir la desinformación en las redes sociales estadounidenses, como X y Facebook, que ademas vulneran los derechos de propiedad intelectual

The author reminds us of “the “smoky room experiment”. In this study, when a person is alone in a room that begins to fill with smoke, three-quarters raise the alarm within minutes. Yet, when surrounded by others who remain passive, only 10% take action. This is the “bystander effect”,

Why is this not on every UK news channel this morning?

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

think what grates most about Fraser Nelson's "a dramatic shift? of MY Overton window?" shtick is that those of us who kept talking about the Spectator's dangerous slide to the right were treated as hysterical, not able to see the humour in shock jocks, etc etc, when we were just clearly right!
