And out of our lives, ideally.

In 1987, Trump was having financial difficulties (he lost $1 Billion dollars from 1978-1990) - so he turned to Russia. The KGB literally paid for his trip to Russia, and he was recruited by the KGB. #Krasnov

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Show me a freezepeach advocate like Musk, and you are showing me a thin skinned bully who wants no comeback to what they say.

You can't say anything or you might get put in prison says #Farage - the man who has made (how many is it?)37ish appearances on Question Time. He's saying how wonderful #Trump is and running down our country on the world stage. Farage is a traitor. Don't vote ReformUK or we'll get a Trump mini-me

That why I use Brave brower @brave.com.web.brid.gy that does not track you.

Ontario: WE CANNOT LET FORD BUY STARLINK. We can’t. Musk is the enemy. They want to invade us. Ontario is the largest province, largest economic hub of Canada. They WILL use it as a weapon against us.

Privatisation has failed. My Private Members Water Bill is an unmissable chance to put public ownership of our water back on the table as a solution. In less than 2 minutes, you can make sure your MP attends my Bill’s crucial debate on 28th March: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

"If we don't allow politicians to converse in a way that isn't reduced to simplicities, that leaves a vacuum of complexity filled by populists who sound like they are talking with substance" A big win of the modern right has been to close the space in which nuance can even sit. My culture piece 👇

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Great news!

I’ll be speaking at this rally tomorrow. ✊🇺🇦 If you’re anywhere near London - come along! Let’s make some real noise!!

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

The Daily Mail protecting women again. Rubiales was found guilty of sexual assault. Not kissing.

Everyday, I learn new words.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

I think people have fundamentally misunderstood the multiple roles conspiracies fill in a fascist movement. The conspiracies are both a permission giving structure and a tool to neuter push back when they actually deploy their own agenda of industrial death. “Well the dems were doing it already”

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Elon Musk is the Joker. No exaggeration.

Go through the key figures in the current US administration one by one. And ask, if China invaded and the PLA was marching on Washington DC, which of them would do this? And which would be piling into helicopters like Ashraf Ghani?
