"The Left are competing over who can be the victim. It's 𝘴𝘰 corrosive to solidarity: It stops people being able to work together." Ash Sarkar on how identity politics has fractured the Left against its opponents.

Rare Good News: 80% Of Germans Not Fascists

The author of this article, trying to make out that we “misunderstood” the disgraceful lying words that came out of Trump’s mouth and “misinterpreted” his actions in excluding Ukraine from peace negotiation with his typical bullying stance, is Sam Bessant the US Treasury secretary

Elon Musk threatens FBI agents and air traffic controllers with forced resignation if they do not respond to an email (sound familiar?) www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Every day, the goals become clearer: The point of DOGE is not efficiency, but regime change www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Forget normal performance reviews and appraisals carried out in most workplaces - in the Trump/Musk world if they don’t like what you’re doing you’re fired. Autocratic rule.

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

How is he not a Russian asset? And when/how will the remaining U.S. security apparatus respond to that?

This is real. Unbelievable but real.

Spot on

🔴 Trump’s proposed deal imposes harsher economic terms on Ukraine than those faced by defeated aggressor states like Germany and Japan after 1945, The Telegraph reports. 1/3

Trump calls Zelensky “a dictator without elections” having lauded Putin, a man who hasn’t had a free or fair election in years and who has prevented elections in Ukraine because he invaded.

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

Breaking News: Volodymyr Zelensky appealed for "more truth" and said President Trump was "in a disinformation space" after he suggested Ukraine started the war.

Trump's "plan" is both depraved and unworkable paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-belgian-...

I hope people understand what we are seeing here. 1) Trump and Putin are preparing a common plan to dictate to Ukraine. 2) Ukraine will surprise them (at least Trump) by refusing. 3) The War will continue. 4) The role of Europe will be decisive.

Trump’s framing of these talks is so wrong. 1) Why does Russia have any right to any sovereign Ukrainian territory? 2) Why’s the US “mediating”? Have both parties asked it to? 3) How can the US be a mediator when it’s seeking its own material gain from at least one party? 4) Why exclude Europe?

JD Vance is graceless, reckless and pointless The vice president’s arrogant and counterproductive rant in Munich was a lesson in hypocrisy www.theneweuropean.co.uk/jd-vance-is-...

FastCompany: “On TeslaTakedown.com, citizens are planning protests at Tesla locations across the country (and world) in hopes of tying negative sentiment about CEO Elon Musk’s DOGE activities to the company’s stock price.” www.fastcompany.com/91279578/tes...

“JD Vance’s Munich speech laid bare the collapse of the transatlantic alliance” - Europe unite! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

The US and Europe are no longer allies. Following Vance’s disastrous speech pulling the plug on US-Europe shared values and respect, there is no-one senior in the Musk-Trump govt to serve as a friendly & trusted link with Europe. Here’s my TikTok video just out on it —> vm.tiktok.com/ZNd1kXqqj/

Gangsters. The US government is no ally of Europe. We should fight Russia off ourselves and give the US nothing.
