Setting aside the implausibly high number, wonder if actually most people would prefer a government that protected them from AI making it even harder to actually speak to humans about whatever they're trying to achieve...

Sooner or later, all Republicans will realize what all Europeans know: Trump is a Russian asset.

“Reform Chairmen, sir. Thousands of them. Joining up, deserting when it gets tough, then coming back again.”

History has its eyes on you.

Meanwhile, at the White House…

I can’t help but watch Sarah Vine’s book publicity tour like a slow motion car crash. This interview (£) has some fascinating nuggets about the Cameron era and a real sadness for friendships (and marriages) as a casualty of the quest for power. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it: "These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Literally two weeks ago Stephen Miller screamed at ICE leadership for not raiding Home Depots.

A 'Liz Truss moment' has now entered the lexicon as a short hand for a self-inflicted economic disaster. Well done Liz, a truly historic premiership.

The rationale for sending troops to big blue California is the same for going after Harvard and Columbia: if you can subdue your wealthiest and most powerful enemies first, the rest will fall more easily.

Day 1201 of Europe's war. But the pre-conflict hybrid war has already been waging worldwide for years. Hacking, election interference, sabotage - we're all targeted by Russia, even if we don't all realise it yet. Ukraine can stop the war criminal with our help. Welcome to THE daily 🧵for Sunday..

🦋 BBC coverage of the Los Angeles anti-ICE protests Highlighting the attacks on Governor Gavin Newsom and Trump's deployment of the California National Guard For those who like to see how America is being viewed overseas as a result of Trump's actions 🦋

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Good to see Richard Tice back on TV. It's about time Laura Kuenssberg did her bit to normalise Reform policies by platforming a party with only 5 MPs almost every week.

Even wars have rules - Israel now stands accused of the gravest of war crimes ..by BBC’s Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jeremy Bowen spells out the problem for Israel trying to deny war crimes: its own ministers have admitted to them www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

⚡️ 12 killed, 65 injured in Russian attacks on Ukraine over past day. Russian forces launched 49 drones overnight, including Iranian-designed Shahed drones, along with an Onyx anti-ship missile and two X-59/69 guided air-launched missiles.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

I am shocked to learn Mark Carney has invited Indian PM Modi to attend G7 meetings in Alberta. This is a betrayal of vulnerable Canadians targeted by the Indian government. Read the NDP statement: www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-joi...

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

🇫🇷 VIDEO: Marine creatures light up Nice sky ahead of UN summit on oceans Thousands gather in Nice for a drone show ahead of the UN Ocean Conference, where more than two thousand drones light up the sky with marine creatures.

White flight ☠️😂

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Good morning rebels...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

A former D.C. police lieutenant convicted of leaking information about a police investigation to the leader of the Proud Boys group on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, was sentenced Friday to 18 months behind bars.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

My daughter dislocated her jaw this afternoon. She has asked me to say this: The paramedics who came round to our house, the nurse who triaged her, doctor who saw her, x ray staff who confirmed her jaw was fully back in place all at the hospital were excellent. What would we do without the NHS?

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

Really useful paper detailing the three main ways in which agency is undermined by corporate concentration and power imbalances in our food system

C’est fini… by @Ph.Briday

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

Reform UK just exposed a major scandal… …in their own understanding of how government works. Bless. The Bear in top form ⤵️

UK is corruption island, ripping you off for essentials far more than anywhere else on the planet.

Hello. It's Day 1200 of Russia's evil war, but I have no energy left to start the thread yet. Sickening attacks on civilians at the start and end of Friday. All the details of the night attack are in yesterday's megathread, which I've just finished at 4am UK, 6am Ukraine. bsky.app/profile/twmc...
