What would a trauma-informed analysis of the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting look like? I think it would pay attention to body language. It would consider what was happening biologically. Here's my THREAD tracking changes over the 50 mins. Here's the link I'm working with: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEOv...

Remember when the British Brexit MEPs turned their backs on Europe. They admired Putin and Russia. This is now The Reform Party.

Word

Former Conservative MP and British Attorney General Dominic Grieve:

There was only one alpha-male in that Oval Office… And he wasn’t wearing a suit. …nor was he wearing eyeliner or fake tan.

Zelensky's people are currently struggling with the bottom rung of #Maslow hierarchy of human needs because of aggression by a foreign power (or several). Anyone see 'Wearing a suit' on here? Thought not. His priorities were clear. He was the only statesman in that room. #Zelensky #Leadership

From the producers of "Stop Talking The Country Down" and "Why Do You Want Britain To Fail?"... comes a new style of Reform UK patriotism. ~AA

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

I hope that all those who dismissed Russian interference in Brexit and Trump 9 years ago are finally realising that it wasn’t a hoax, it wasn’t exaggerated, and for all their doubts then are doing their best to make up for it now by supporting Ukraine

This is a damn good message from @meiselasb.bsky.social: “Musk’s algorithm may control X, but it doesn’t control the moral compass of most Americans who are letting their Congress members know how pissed they are.”

Here's Trump with Brexiters Farage, Raheem Kassam, and Arron Banks. And here's Raheem Kassam boasting about Russia defeating Ukraine in half a day, and Farage and Arron Banks parroting pro-Russian propaganda lies. Brexit was the result of a successful Russian influence operation. #RejoinEU

It’s a cult.

Farage thanking Bannon and Breitbart for their help in the Brexit referendum. So much for Brexit being patriotic. It was obtained through Russian and American far-right interference. It's a crime that must be undone, and its perpetrators punished. Never forget. Never forgive.

The Nazis and fascists wouldn’t be running a massive demoralization campaign, coupled with a terror campaign online if they thought they had the power to pull off what they were trying to do without a fight. They are weaker than we are and we outnumber them 100 to one. They will reap the whirlwind

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

This was posted by the King Family. They know a lot about nonviolent resistance. Keep sharing.

Did you ever think you’d see the day when America would fuck over their Allies for Putin? Well. Here we are.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

Are you happy that the Canadian, Qatari and Saudia Arabian owners of Thames Water are using their £19bn debt to move £3bn a year straight out of the UK into their tax havens without paying any tax? It is literally your money being stolen from you to fund foreign billionaires.

The loudest patriots almost always hate their country. Many become traitors.

As Wes Streeting trumpets the role of the private sector in “saving the NHS”, it’s worth remembering what happened the only time a whole NHS hospital was handed to the private sector to run. The care failings - gaining the worst CQC rating ever - were *chilling* (& barely reported at the time):

At last, something I do agree with Hannan about. Britain has no future outside the EU otherwise than as a de facto fifty first state. But I don't want to be part of Trump's project.

If only there had been some kind of warning - on.ft.com/40Zncmv

Men like Goodwin usually have to pay for this thorough a spanking.

It's this simple ... The various countries of our continent have spent over 60 years working out how best to do things. That has resulted in the EU, the Single Market and the Customs Union. These things have brought peace and prosperity to half a billion people. No type of Brexit can ever match that

A reminder of who has actually provided the most support to Ukraine - and it isn’t the US

There has been lots of attentn paid within the media to the actions of Elon Musk's 4-yr-old son at a press conference held this week in the Oval Office. The child's forceful statements have sparked entertainmnt. I want to call attentn to his emotional state. THREAD www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa1m...

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

0.43% increase in UK GDP by 2050 if a third runway is opened at Heathrow. 12% fall in world GDP for every 1C rise in global temperature.

#bbcpm The USA has stopped tracking agricultural disease outbreaks. We absolutely should not be opening our borders to their meat.

Today marks 5 years of everything becoming more expensive, more difficult, and more stupid. The Tories & Farage lied to get their #Brexit, they’re still lying, and absolutely nothing will improve until the lies are finally called out. We deserve a referendum on #Rejoining.

Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

No, Brexit could never work. It was a terrible lie missold to people who deserved better by crooks and chancers. Take some responsibility for goodness sake.

I feel there needs to be a little refresher on international law of flying military, or any, planes into the territory of another sovereign nation and just dropping people off without their agreement. It's illegal, and could even be taken as an act of war. Hope this helps. Same goes for boats btw.

Still the best story.

As the 5th anniversary of Brexit approaches, here's the chillingly methodical moment when the UK flag was removed from the EU Council building in Brussels. Since then, not a single Brexit promise has come true. #BrexitHasFailed

There is so much to unravel. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social knows her stuff. If you want to learn more about who’s involved in the broligarchy, this is a good primer. And don’t miss the part about Peter Thiel. “Sieg heil Tesla” open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Important, if deeply worrying, to know about the world's most powerful nuclear-armed nation. "The NAR is supplying the ground troops to dismantle the secular state." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

We all know what’s going on with Trump, Musk, Reform, some Tories, we all know it’s far right. We all know it echoes Naziism. The bills being introduced in the US are horrifying.Those actively supporting or ignoring it are pitiful cowards. Never be a bystander. @frauloewenherz

Misogyny & Extremism: A Connection We Cannot Ignore-misogyny remains unrecognised as form of extremism. Misogyny is not & cannot remain a side note to these acts. It is central to understanding & stopping these tragedies. We must call it what it is: a form of terror open.substack.com/pub/davidcha...

Yes, that's exactly my experience too. BUT Johnson me old pal it started as soon as we left the EU and no one ever mentions Starmer - it's YOU and your premiership that they pity us over. I've had mentions of sympathy from French, Dutch, Germans, all saying that leaving was a grave mistake.

Wow

I'm so proud of the University of Leeds for being the first Russell Group university to leave X.

The world’s richest man is promoting the far right in Europe. Don’t buy a Tesla . Location: Tesla Gigafactory, Berlin www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjWl...

The media reaction to everything Starmer says or does is overwhelmingly negative. At the same time excessive publicity is given to the views of Farage, ignoring LibDems and Greens. Are the Media Enemies of the People?

Brilliant take - Why some Brits don’t like Donald Trump We traditionally side with David, not Goliath. Our heroes are plucky underdogs Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege
