Checking on #TeslaTakeDown...

Obama knew

"I did that!" Like a toddler who just made the world's biggest mud pie. He's such a fucking dweeb.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Everything good that has ever happened is due to Socialism and everything bad is due to Capitalism. That is the truth they don't want you to know.

I’m hoping, with a Putin shill now in charge of US intelligence that Five Eyes become Four Eyes and we stop sharing everything and anything with our former US ally. They’re not our ally any more. Wake up.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Canada just signed a trade deal with Ecuador so the orange juice options will increase now that Florida Oranges aren't being bought. Oasis is a Canadian brand. Minute Maid is bottled here using Brazilian oranges. I guess Florida can sell elsewhere? If anyone will buy it at this point…

I’m telling you again - Europe has a massive brain gain opportunity sitting here. Trump is going to absolutely shaft US science & we could & should be there to hoover up the talent.

Great reason to ditch Google and use Brave instead www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is very good

Anyone else noticing this, too? 😡

Trump is uniting the rest of the world against a divided America

In Denmark apparently..

Starmer is to attend an EU summit and Brexiters are having a proper tantrum about it. As if they negotiated something good. As if our industries hadn’t been desperately lobbying govt ever since. As if the EU wasn’t an ally. Brexiters are monstrous toddlers - a total drag on diplomacy and progress.

Support Canadian alternatives!

. Great to see the Beatles win a much-deserved #Grammy for their last No 1 "Now and Then"! #r4today #BBCBreakfast #GMB #TheBeatles #GRAMMYs #Grammys2025 . www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opxh...

Perfectly captured.

You know what? The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico. Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

I echo the call to boycott US

Fourteen hours before the crash. 👇

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

➡️ 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!

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy. He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served. I spit on him.

People don't need to work harder, the billionaires need to steal less. The richest 150 people are getting £120bn richer every year, and what do they do for this? Nothing, you do it all.

Jesus was here

Five years after we left, a new YouGov poll finds a grand total of 2% of voters think Brexit has had a very positive impact on the NHS.

Not today, Satan

Brexit was a con. Sold on a pack of lies by fantasists, ladybird libertarians, chancers, xenophobes and spivs. On this day of all days we should take a moment to remind everyone of that.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

. While the tories and the far-right are trying to talk the UK into recession, the Chancellor Rachel Reeves is right to go for growth to create jobs and income! #r4today #BBCBreakfast #GMB #PoliticsLive #PMQs #toriesGone208 .

. Hey America, this guy is too stupid . . . ... for his ego he walks over mountains of corpses. CDC and WHO are essential ! 💠 😔 💠

The CDC and WHO won’t communicate with each other by Trump’s orders. How will the American people protect themselves?

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.
