Musk just amplified a leader of Germany’s far-right AfD, who called the country’s Holocaust memorial a “monument of shame,” demanded a “180-degree turn” in how Germany remembers Nazi crimes & was convicted for using a Nazi slogan Let’s hope the people of 🇩🇪will choose wisely in tomorrow’s election

This is a five-alarm fire 🔥 for US science 🧪. (We keep saying that, but it keeps being true 😭.) Trump and Musk are blocking ALL NIH grants ‼️ by "exploiting a loophole in the process"—stopping study sections & council meetings. Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/

Media shying away from calling things what they are will be our downfall if this continues. What this should say is: Bannon whipped up CPAC crowd by talking about possibility of Trump unconstitutionally staying in office for third term—and concluded his speech with a Nazi salute like Musk did.

“William’s story was one of intergenerational trauma & of the lies Scotland tells itself about its treatment of its most vulnerable children.” My @londonreview.bsky.social longread on the Polmont suicides & our failing youth justice system is the culmination of 6 years’ work & means a lot to me.

US Vice President J D Vance attacked Europe yesterday. His charge was, in essence, that we are not as fascist as he would like. The political battle lines have been drawn. We have to now stand up and fight against the tyranny he and Trump are unleashing. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

The BBC is capable of great journalism. So why isn’t it doing it in relation Gaza? There needs to be a proper investigation of the various editorial decisions made with transparency on who made them and why. If the BBC is satisfied it has done nothing wrong, it should welcome something like this.

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

The most important thread you'll read today. In brief: Europe has the power to save Ukraine and slip into the leadership position America has vacated. It must grasp it. And Europeans must pressure their governments to do so.

Trump's pro-Putin appeasement & statement that negotiations on Ukraine will be between the US & Russia has historic precedent. This is what Neville Chamberlain did with his appeasement of Hitler in Munich in 1938 deciding the fate of Czechoslovakia without the Czechs.

Kanye West's social media following is more than two times the size of the world’s Jewish population, which is just under 16M. He directed over 100M Super Bowl viewers to his website, selling one item — a t-shirt with a swastika after days of non-stop back-to-back antisemitism. 1/2

30%-40% of public money given to England's care homes vanishes in profits, little left for frontline services. Almost all care homes forcibly closed between 2011 and 2023 were operated by for-profit companies. Profits and care can't be combined. Watch the Minister's reply.

At least $12 trillion from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.
