“Was” When the past tense tells you an important truth: “Britain was an important European power.” Brexit was a vehicle for the transient advancement of Johnson and Farage, to the detriment of the UK, and the pleasure of Putin. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Nigel Farage announced yesterday “At 5pm I will announce the biggest UK political rally seen in modern times.” Here’s another one from 1962. youtu.be/PzzQVJZjHf4?...

GOP Congress Members zombified by digital algorithms assumed they would return heroes to their districts. But, in the real world, America has become a powder keg as millions of lives have been crushed by Trump. People aren’t memes that just accept subjugation. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

CNN plays a clip of Russian state TV praising Trump for being "in total alignment" with Putin

How about instead of profiling the “personalities” saying horrible things at far right conferences, we profile the people who paid to put on those conferences. Cmon the billionaires pushing this poison have names & faces.

If Tony Stark was a shitty human being. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Amen to that.

This is what obeying in advance looks like. The NSF fires 10% of its total staff in a move that went beyond what was requested by the current regime. The NSF is the flagship of US basic research infrastructure. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

BREAKING: California lawmakers are introducing a climate change Superfund bill today, which would require major oil and gas companies to pay to mitigate global warming impacts. open.substack.com/pub/landmark...

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)

He nails it.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

"Nigel Farage has declared he has handed over Reform UK to its 200,000 members, but the party now appears to be owned by a not-for-profit company controlled by its leader and chair." Surprise! More lies from Farage.

🚨1 in 3 children living in deep poverty are migrant children. This is not a coincidence. Hostile immigration policies drive migrant families into poverty. Tell this Government to protect EVERY child from poverty. Take action: act.praxis.org.uk/email-minist...

Word discovery of the day is ‘yoke-devil’ (17th century): an accomplice in a villainous or immoral undertaking.

The lies are the point: Ukraine is a battle for objective reality iandunt.substack.com/p/the-lies-a...

Twitter, this morning

I've been reading the Demos report on Epistemic Security (which is vg and recommended) demos.co.uk/wp-content/u... and it also makes me think yet again that we really need some positive social visions for technology, that don't start with the technology but with what a good society looks like

Current water policies in the Delta encourage “shifting baselines” that gradually degrade ecosystems. But ongoing work on the Klamath River shows that restoring ecosystems to a better state than the status quo is possible. #cawater mavensnotebook.com/2024/09/30/n...

Have a great weekend. It could be our last.

Honestly, this is an insane thing for a major political party to be running with. It’s mad. It’s by mad people for mad people.

BBC slammed for pulling film that 'humanised Palestinian children' - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/bbc-slammed-pulling-film-humanised-palestinian-children

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...

I kinda like this and think it sorta works. Can we make it stick?

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Yep

BREAKING: Donald Trump issued an executive order tonight aimed at ending several decades-old and highly successful government programs. Among the programs Trump says he's ending: The Federal Executive Boards and the Presidential Management Fellows Program. What do they do, you ask? Key things!

Both political parties and the FBI were long ago infiltrated by the "Russian mafia", which is actually a transnational crime syndicate in which the Kremlin is a key hub -- one with particular importance for Trump. Two former heads of the FBI went on to work for the Russian mafia.

Left: Trump blames Ukraine for Russia invadeing Ukraine Right: Nigel Farage blames the European Union (which then included the UK) and NATO for Russia invading Ukraine Your reminder that the only one to blame for Russia invading Ukraine is Russia

⚡️ EU's Costa, von der Leyen to visit Kyiv on Feb. 24. The visit aims to reaffirm the EU's "support to the heroic Ukrainian people and to the democratically elected President Volodymyr Zelensky," European Council President Antonio Costa said on X.

Doesn’t this billboard count as foreign interference? #cdnpoli #Canada 🇨🇦 #Alberta

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Can someone please buy her a subscription to a quality news service?

Can I please commend the stark difference between the Tories and Reform on Ukraine? MANY of the most senior Tories have condemned Trump explicitly in very clear terms that allow for no ambiguity or nuance. Reform are shamefully, even treacherously silent. Never forgive. Never forget.

GB News actually aired commentary likening "the LGBT flag" to Nazi imagery (content warning) Is this really a channel that M&S are comfortable to align with? You can take action by leaving a comment on the M&S Facebook page asking them to #StopFundingHate www.facebook.com/MarksandSpen...

Why the hell is the BBC interviewing the Heritage Foundation? They've been instrumental in designing Musk's coup. It's a great example of how the BBC news is spellbound by the "story" & how exciting it all is. As if Trump's flooding the zone is one of two reasonable sides which need equal airtime.

it appears Delaware Dems and the (also Dem) governor are attempting to rip up Delaware corporate law so they can give 55 billion dollars to Elon Musk, with a bill written by Elon's own lawyers www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/02/...

Zelenskyy: Trump is living in a “disinformation space”

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc
