DOGE staffer Edward ā€œBig Ballsā€ Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a ā€œformerā€ KGB spy. Thatā€™s right, one of Elon Muskā€™s young cyber criminals ā€” related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check ā€” now has unprecedented access toā€¦

Trump cut travel funding for our scientists to work on the next global climate change report (IPCC). I don't think it's legal for him to tell scientists they can't work with the IPCC. Either way, do not comply. Why keep your job if you can't actually do the job? www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/c...

"The Trump administration wants revenues from Ukraineā€™s natural resources, according to a draft obtained by The New York Times, with no security guarantee in exchange." Pure gangsterism. What you'd expect from Putin and Wagner, or a mafia syndicate. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

Call me old fashioned, but being Russiaā€™s KGB agent ā€œKrasnovā€ since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

Basically, weā€™re reliant on an unanticipated disruptive variable to stop or change the trajectory weā€™re on.

ā€œIf you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.ā€ A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

This is worth sharing. @australianlabor.bsky.social needs to watch it too, then #CancelAUKUS.

This week, we have seen leaders in western Europe forced to move from fumbling cautious politeness to action as a result of the Trumpā€™s various & wild pronouncements. There's no reason to think Australia's national interests will not be directly challenged in a similar way. Laura Tingle #auspol

Preferential voting is such a good idea; I don't know why more countries don't adopt it. You can vote for a candidate with the best policies, even if it is unlikely they will get elected, and then give it to the best of the alternatives so you don't "waste your vote."

"Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this." -- email from Felix Sater to Michael Cohen about Donald Trump in 2015 -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020) hidinginplainsightbook.com

Trump bears almost EVERY characteristics of a recruitable asset and almost every sign of having been recruited and working for the enemy. It is just insane to ignore them all.

So here's Peter Dutton long-term plan for nuclear power, if it wasnā€™t already a scam. Pour hundreds of billions into the project, have taxpayers carry the can, and then flog it off to the likes of Gina to profit from. #auspol

The internet is not good for my mental health today but how can I look away from a drug adled freak gurning so hard he can't complete a sentence waving a chainsaw around with the guy who identifies with the chainsaw demon.

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

@extremearturo.bsky.social had a piece this morning on the parallels between DOGE austerity and Milei's program, and it's worth flagging: 1 in 8 Argentinians has fallen into poverty under Milei's policies.

Great stuff @senatorsurfer.bsky.social !

I had death threats, bomb threats, my car was set ablaze and my dog was poisoned with strychnine when I held the first impeach Nixon rally west of the Rockies in Yorba Linda when I was 19, so I really don't have any sympathy for these Quisling cowards.

I wish I could retweet this a Million times. Well, I could but you all might be annoyed. Our politicians on BOTH SIDES just LET this happen. Media on both sides complicit as hell too.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are ā€œundermining civilization.ā€ He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from ā€œgenerational trauma.ā€ This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...
