Federal employees already account for their work with their supervisors. We should be thanking them for their service to our country, not jerking them around. Disgusting.

The order to email Elon Musk five things you did last week or else you’re fired appears to be illegal. More here.

Can’t help but be reminded of the words of Russell Vought, now head of OMB: “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected because they are increasingly viewed as villains. We want to put them in trauma.”

My book, “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America,” reveals the tactics and dangers of disinformation and offers solutions. Democracy depends on truth. More here. barbaramcquade.com

The elevation of Krause to a more powerful role at Treasury will likely inflame an ongoing backlash over the DOGE team’s access to the sensitive payments system, which controls the flow of trillions of dollars of Social Security payments, Medicare benefits, tax… www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

👏👏👏 “After years of preparation, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia will disconnect from their Russian-controlled electricity grid this weekend”

NEW: Episode 7 - Chemical Attacks. This episode should actually blow your mind. There’s been a lot about Boris Johnson & Evgeny Lebedev but it’s the meeting with his father, the ex-KGB colonel that you need to pay attention to… podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Training wheels might be more appropriate ...

Oops 😬

I know what we should call this movie

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that a bunch of fucking 19-year old randos named "Big Balls" should not have access to our most sensitive information, and that should be a bipartisan issue. This is a national security crisis waiting to happen.

True.

"This is the great discovery of the conflict entrepreneurs: what counts in politics is not how well people are doing, but how well they are doing in relation to designated out-groups." So people support a class war against themselves. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

1. There have been plenty of debates about whether or not Trump and his circle are fascists. In this column, I argue that the debate solves nothing. What we’re seeing is a reversion to the default state of politics in centralised societies: autocratic tyranny. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Here, broken down into a thread, is a copy of my last post on X. 1. This is my farewell post. I am not deleting this account, as I don’t want to lose the archive, and I don’t want my name taken by imposters. But, for as long as Musk owns the platform, I’ll no longer use it.

You picked the right day to leave X @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

This was not an accident or "blunder". Anyone who didn't see this coming hasn't been paying attention.

How much does Farage care about Clacton? This bus has been sat on Clacton waterfront since before Xmas. Farage has done nothing but swan around the US 🇺🇸 since he’s been elected. #farage #clacton

There'll be time tomorrow to come to terms with what's happening. Tonight I think it's best just to get quite pissed.

Just asking questions....🤷‍♀️

The Internet is forever. I can't believe my own eyes.

Even Barron thinks he’s f*cking annoying.

RIP TikTok. The ultimate example of the olds not getting it. It is especially ironic that we're freaking out about a foreign owned social network when we're letting untrustworthy figures straight through the door over here

Have we ever considered… That maybe fact checkers feel left leaning …because the left aligns itself more with fact?

It's been quite something to watch supposedly 'patriotic' British newspapers actively cheerleading on a foreign administration that is openly working against our interests.

Sounds like a plan

So, are you all excited to turn off your TV during the inauguration tomorrow, or what? #RatingsDisaster

Pls spend from now until Tuesday eve celebrating a truly great American: Martin Luther King Jr. Don't let a racist adjudicated rapist take away from MLK Day!

Sigh. We tried to warn them.

Farage and Truss attend UK launch of US climate denial group Climate science deniers are lining up a political offensive in Britain after a US lobby group opened a UK branch which is already working with Nigel Farage www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today, I signed an executive order prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property. Make no mistake — this is a prosecutable crime.

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

i am watching clips from the hegseth hearings and it is a goddamn insult to this country that this chucklefuck was even nominated

Kemi Badenoch is really a piece of sh*t❗️👇🏼👇🏼 She’s been accused of a 'new low' trying to get donations for her party by 'playing politics with the safety of vulnerable children by fundraising through grooming scandal petition 🤬 Honestly… I can’t find words 🤷🏼‍♂️ Credit to @gemmagould.bsky.social 🙏🏼

Some really unsettling pure, uncut neckbeards among the ranks of our early Supreme Court justices. Candidly I do not care at all for it.

Nice one Liverpool

Danish news is reporting that many of the people wearing MAGA hats in Don Jr & Charlie Kirk’s Greenland videos were homeless rounded up from the area, including one man they found under a bridge, to come into the restaurant for a photo op & a free meal. meidasnews.com/news/busted-...
