Musk openly promotes the neo-nazis of Weidel's AfD! On his orders, X was deliberately used to ensure a victory of the GOP. This document by a whistleblower proves it. Can we allow him to bring the AfD fascists to power in Germany? Never! That is why we say #BanX and #DumpTesla! Enough is enough!

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

“Far from being dismissed as a useful idiot to hostile foreign powers, the British press continues to allow Farage to portray himself as a true British patriot, while he spends as much time as he possibly can outside of this country telling lies about us for money” open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

Apparently, Starmer is now denying that even this mini-step is being planned. WTF !!!?

Peter Brookes @BrookesTimes on #Trump #Putin #RussiaUkraineWar #JamesBond @thetimes – political cartoon gallery in London original-political-cartoon.com

French media publication Le Point are reporting that quite incredibly Trump will join Putin for Russia's May the 9th Victory Day celebrations. Are we witnessing America's final downfall on the world stage as we know it?

Today's New York Post as owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp President Trump: This is a dictator

‘Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian.’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

It is my duty to report that the Daily Mail, through its lawyers RPC, seems to have abandoned its hopeless attempt to bully us into submission with feeble defamation threats.

This is good and not so good news: 1. Glad for the young people who can enjoy it. Even if it isn't full free movement. 2. Why can't everyone have free movement anyway? 3. Starmer had to be dragged to this mini-step kicking and screaming. 4. Labour are desperate to NOT have it called free movement. 🙄

Constitutional law in the US is getting very interesting indeed, and as @davidallengreen.bsky.social always says, that's rarely a good sign.

I don't think anyone could possibly have had Jacob Rees-Mogg's daughter doing a live tarot reading for a mortified Michael Gove on GBeebies on their 2025 bingo card. We are living through some strange fever dream. ~AA

Germany’s likely next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has warned that Europe should be ready for Donald Trump to no longer uphold NATO’s mutual defense commitment unconditionally. Asked whether Germany should seek protection under France’s nuclear umbrella, he had this to say 👇 ow.ly/HeOJ50V4ooe

Have a great weekend. It could be our last.

Unable to deal with facts Farage dodges questions. youtu.be/6xDCZSPLkBY?...

“They try to destroy truth because truth is the greatest threat to their rule. As long as truth exists, they can be scrutinised and held wanting. Once it is vanquished… there is no basis upon which they can be held to account.” We absolutely must hold the line. iandunt.substack.com/p/the-lies-a...

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

Oh so Farage didn’t comment on Trump’s betrayal of Zelensky and Ukraine - not because he was swamped with Clacton constituency work. God no. He was on a plane to the US and it was night time. Hahaha! More like waiting for further instructions from his despot paymasters… news.sky.com/story/farage...

US President Donald Trump yesterday described Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “dictator without elections”. Our politics blog looks at how other democracies have approached elections during wartime in the past.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Canada: "They get 95% of their product from the United States, so I think they have to become the 51st state. You heard the people booing the national anthem, but I think ultimately they'll be praising the national anthem ... I call him Governor Trudeau ... we're looking at Greenland."

NOT SATIRE: Liz Truss is starting her own media empire. Lettuce pray for her investors. "It's only by telling people the truth in the UK, in Europe, in the Anglosphere, in America, that we will turn our backs on the war's west against itself." Gibberish. ~AA

this issue and also a really good article how to leverage issues like this against the GOP and then to get them SPECIFICALLY to work against Musk: theintercept.com/2025/02/17/e...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social as you are likely to be using the word a lot, here is a guide to pronouncing 'adversary'. Thank you. dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciatio...

You just know Hannan wrote this for the US market because he knew he would be ripped to shreds by the UK one. It's actually impressive how bad he is at reading the room.

Someone in the government has to have signed off on this ,"agency" or not. Trying to scare people from seeking asylum by warning about the "dangers of the far-right" literally tells the far right their tactics are working. Prevent them, not people seeking safety. #r4today inews.co.uk/news/politic...

The data could not be more clear: our public services will collapse without immigration. People desperately need to come here & we desperately need people, too. Me, for @metrouk.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2025/02/19/n...

Leopards/face latest:

@billbrowder.bsky.social talking sense as always. Sounds like European Foreign Ministers largely agree with him on Russia's frozen assets. Give them to Ukraine. All of them. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk youtu.be/Z_xV1nf44RA?...

All this preemptive capitulation to Putin and US Secretary of State Rubio has just said “"It may turn out that they don’t want to end the war. I don’t know; we’re going to find out." kyivindependent.com/the-only-way...

As we said on Fan Hitters at the Inauguration of Trump - the tech bros pictured with him may regret being so close, PR is all about wisdom or lack of it, Google and Apple especially must now be wondering.. In today's @FT Richard Waters says similar.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

Bannon has a bit of a "I can't afford to sue all of you if you call it a Nazi salute" half heartedness to it that Musk's didn't.

His narcissism and grasping need for praise and attention soon took him to the right as liberals began to distance themselves from his behavior.

Just looking at the latest YouGov poll - the Tories are on 9% with people under 50. It is not clear to me how this helps with that problem.

A failed politician and disastrous PM turning to the extreme right desperately searching for validation and redemption. It’s a no from me. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

More of this energy everywhere please!

The costs of Brexit. To dishonestly push Brexit as a solution to our myriad of problems - when it was always clear that it would make food more expensive, trade more difficult & employing seasonal workers far more difficult - at best unforgivable, at worst criminal. apple.news/Aff8G1H1sSrq...

having a normal one

This is absolutely disgusting.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?
