It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

Trump is an absolute traitor to all of America’s allies.

Escaping the madness

Breaking: A war criminal and a convicted felon hold a press conference and prove that they are both Batshit Crazy!! Trump “The US will take over the Gaza Strip—and we will do a job with it too” Netanyahu “I think it’s something that could change history” For Real— What the F*ck ?!?!

And the gulf is growing wider.

Chilling similarities. Remember, during the election campaign, Trump said that if the people voted for him they would never have to vote again. Dictatorship.

I PhDid it!

At least 15 Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico have reported being stopped at their homes and workplaces, questioned or detained by federal law enforcement and asked to produce proof of citizenship during immigration raids since Wednesday, according to Navajo Nation officials.

Brexit’s failure and Trump’s fury have turned the tide for the UK and EU Two new polls show Britons are now firmly aligned with Europe, not the USA www.theneweuropean.co.uk/brexits-fail...

If Trump were to seize Greenland, a NATO member, under the NATO charter, NATO would be compelled to defend. This would either pit America vs NATO or force NATO to back down and dissolve. This is a Trump-Putin joint effort to destroy NATO together.

Trump's firehose of executive orders is meant to inundate you and make you stop trying to keep up. I encourage you to keep up. Keep reading. Keep watching.

Hegseth lacks the normal qualifications for secretary of defense. His books reveal two ideas about what armed forces are for: a site to express Christian Reconstructionism and gender ideology; and a means to defeat other Americans inside America. snyder.substack.com/p/the-crusad...

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

Inheritance, corruption, cronyism & monopolies. And yet Labour's Reeves is intent on defending their amassed wealth. You have to ask who she represents.

Trump again demands to buy Greenland in ‘horrendous’ call with Danish PM

It's unanimous. A majority of voters in every constituency in England, Scotland and Wales think the government should prioritise trade with the EU over Trump's America or other countries. It's even the most popular view in Clacton. (Sorry Nigel 🙃)

The US is halting foreign aid around the world, but says weapons aid to Israel and Egypt will continue. And the White House has told the Pentagon to send a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel that Biden had stopped. Story: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/u...

Gr8 piece in @bellacaledonia about paranoid British state monitoring Scots & Welsh nationalists over decades. Those considered most dodgy/powerful were poets. A fitting if back-handed compliment to the power of the intellect on Burns Day. #itscominyet bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/01/24/b...

Used phones with TikTok installed are being listed for eye-watering sums as the social media platform remains absent from app stores.
