Trump pulling $400M in grants from Columbia University while his own 'university' was a fraudulent scam that paid $25M in settlements is the definition of irony. Maybe Columbia should sell fake real estate courses instead.

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

This is worth a read: "The first faultline, the most obvious, is that millions of people, who hate nasty global economic forces and oligarchic billionaires and tax-dodging monopolists, find themselves sharing the same far-right big tent with those very same oligarchs and billionaires."

After Trump’s disgraceful treatment of Zelenskyy, the U.K. should withdraw its invitation for a State visit for Trump. I cannot believe the majority of Brits want that cowardly quisling on their soil.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Britain is on the brink. Farage’s far-right Reform UK now leads in the polls. He’s a poor man’s Oswald Mosley, pushing Trump-style populism. If we don’t act, we risk a dangerous shift to the hard right. Labour needs to step up their game, or we’ll sleepwalk (with eyes wide open) into disaster.
