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.

Even in the most untouched, pristine parts of the world, birds and insects are dying out, fast. And the cause is climate breakdown. How? The finely tuned, interconnected timings are all being disrupted. If larvae or chicks emerge when there's no food, they die. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Just a few years ago she called him “Saudi Arabia’s bitch” and now she’s his Director of National Intelligence. American politics is a strange, strange world.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Keir Starmer appealing to people's rationality & respect for the rule of law the morning after Donald Trump appealed to the polar opposites. Feels like a moment.

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement: Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect? Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse? Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

I found little Butterscotch abandoned in a temple in Thailand. She was barely surviving. Look at her now getting ready to travel to Scotland soon 😍

The Telegraph who hate illegal immigrants, advising Brits how to be illegal immigrants.

1. Please read this thread. It could make a difference to your health. Before I went away, I had a strange, persistent tingling in the soles of my feet. When I looked it up, there were some benign explanations, and some alarming ones. I resolved to see the doctor when I returned. 🧵

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today. Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister? Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it. Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

@mrjamesob.bsky.social This New York Times report on the Musk/grooming controversy is worth a read. It’s the kind of writing we would have expected from British newspapers like The Times and The Telegraph prior to the era of populism. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/o...

This is the colleague that the likes of Cleverly, Badenoch & Jenrick are refusing to defend...

I have been included on a few starter packs so I thought I should re-introduce myself: My name is Jess and I am a former teacher and nominee for Missouri State House. I am a longtime rural activist. I am now the Executive Director of Blue Missouri. We crowdfund for down ballot Dems. bluemissouri.org

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Pete Buttigieg is truly one of the most genuine leaders in the Democratic Party and would make a great leader one day in an America. Share and ♥️ if you agree! ♥️

@arkansas Help me! I need campaign staffers to help me take Little Rock. If you can contribute help from sharing posts and my account to spreading the message and bringing more like-minded people to the campaign, I need your help! Feel free to start as soon as you'd like and tell me more about you!

Sunday just perked up guys Elon & Ed Sheerin followed little ole me🥰jog on idiots!!

Take a look back at some of @mrjamesob.bsky.social’s best bits from 2024: We’ve also slipped in some never-before-seen footage of his famous Nigel Farage talk-up 👀

On the way to the Canary Islands? Well if you are you’ll find plenty of wind today and tomorrow with weather warnings in place and already strong gusts in Tenerife today.

Amazing woman 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

To the very end, I will never understand how January 6th, 2021, wasn’t a dealbreaker.

Huge thanks to everyone who’s chipped in to make LBD interventions happen this year. We’re 100% funded by small donations & refuse big donors to protect us from becoming reliant on any individual source. Wanna help? Link in bio👆

What Time Magazine SHOULD have done without a shadow of doubt!

I hope Joe and Jill return the favor and be absent when Trump shows up to the White House. Serve him right. #BoycotTheInauguration

Reactions from Syrians who actually do have a stake in their country and whose voices matter. #freeSyria

The only immigrants destroying America are Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch.

Joke's on Elon Musk. He can't defund the ACLU. They don't get any government funding. What an idiot.

To recap, the guy nominated Ambassador to Israel does not recognize Palestine and the guy picked to lead the military gets drunk a lot and yells stuff like "Kill all Muslims". I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

I knew Lawrence O’Donnel would bring the 🔥 “Joe Biden obviously decided his son should not be subjected to a malicious Trump witch hunt, which Donald Trump promises will be malicious and unfair.” @lawrence-odonnell.bsky.social

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media: Is it a story? Sure. But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

The pain of what could/should have been still cuts like a swords edge! We got robbed! Twice!

The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.

Trump spent Thanksgiving sitting like a schlub at Mar-a-Lago while Kamala Harris spent the day prepping food for underprivileged DC’s school children. If you think I’d regret my vote for her for one second you are out of your mind.

I can totally get behind this.

Nigel Farage kept dismissing increased calls for a second EU referendum claiming Brexit was the so-called "will of the people", but is all for backing a petition that seeks to undo a democratic process/recent general election. What barefaced cheek from the grifting bastard!!

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information. Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky

Musk has now threatened the leaders of Canada,Brazil, Germany. X helped create a riot in the UK. Now it seems he doesn't want the UK to make its own legal decisions. Time to act?

Democrats are currently outgunned in the podcasting space by the well-funded far-right media ecosystem. I'm doing everything I can to change that. I just relaunched my channel and will now be posting regular discussions with some of the sharpest minds in Democratic politics. Hope y'all enjoy!

My daughter got spiked. We were told to watch how easy it is youtube.com/shorts/3L8B6... @mrjamesob.bsky.social

How much more evidence do we need, after 29 failures, that the climate COPs are not fit for purpose? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. There have been many proposals for a process that would actually work, but all are ignored. The talks are MEANT to fail.
