Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

From the New Yorker, by Ellis Rosen.

Only a racist psychopath could supply UK arms to Israel so perpetuating the slaughter of thousands of Gaza children without a word of remorse or regret then feign grief for 2 dead Israeli children skwawkbox.org/2025/02/22/n... @skwawkbox.bsky.social

Just when you think the world is turning to shite?

Guten Morgen, Lieblings 😊 KW08 is underway, and after the endlessness of January, February is promising to be a "blink, and you'll miss it" month. 😬 I see the weekend is bringing some high temps rollercoaster weather... hard to believe when it's currently minus freezing here... stay warm, please! 😘

Genius, I say, genius.

1. He's right. It's asymmetric and has huge huge reach. 2. He's admitting Fox's role in the propaganda.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Wow!!!!

Really shocking allegations about the Foreign Office's manipulation of processes to allow the UK to continue selling arms to regimes committing atrocities. It's clear govt has been complicit in war crimes and has questions to answer here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Chicken shit? Experts fear that H5N1, “may have been transmitted through a type of cattle feed called “poultry litter” – a mix of poultry excreta, spilled feed, feathers, and other waste scraped from the floors of industrial chicken and turkey production plants.” www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/civil-righ... … “ how creepy and frightening it is that civil rights are being systematically dismantled throughout the western world in the name of protecting the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state in the Middle East”
