The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

37-year-old Viktoriia is one of the victims of a Russian mass drone attack on Dnipro a few days ago. The explosion caught her in her sleep. She was immediately taken to the hospital with a chest injury, brain contusion, and hemothorax.

Starmer wrote in the Express that he is against restoring Freedom of Movement. Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored. We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

A lot of police cars are on Republic Square as well, next to Heroes Square. Police is looking into cars on the road which are going into the direction of the parliament where the evening event will be. A high police mobilization in all around the area. #GeorgiaProtests

Do you know what would raise money and help businesses in the UK @labouruk.bsky.social ? Yep. You got it Rejoining the EU It’s not fvcking rocket science but here you are still pandering to a tiny minority of supertwats and uberracists because you think they’ll keep you in power. They won’t!

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

BREAKING: Newly obtained footage of the abduction of Tufts student Runeysa Ozturk which includes audio of her kidnappers.

USIP has been broken into by DOGE after multiple failed attempts this weekend. USIP works with DoD and has Senate confirmed board of directors. What other agencies is DOGE going to wreck? #ProudBlue apnews.com/article/doge...

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Most claimed PIP conditions. Oh look you can't fake any of them.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

Classic Gleichschaltung.

Who said the Germans have no sense of humour?

When a young man in Dublin City, I hung around with an American lad. This fellow had been living and would continue to live in Ireland for years, despite having no visa and no European citizenship. Given all the recent Etias excitement, I thought I'd relate this story. 🧵

There is no such thing as a "champagne" business in the United States because champagne comes from, well, Champagne

According to JD Vance it’s much more important if the Ukrainian President wears a suit, than Russia killing hundreds of innocent people

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Appeal Court *very slightly* reduces sentences on some of the 16 peaceful climate protesters, jailed for total of 41 years. This isn’t justice. People desperate for climate action to save lives treated like organised criminals, while big oil & gas get away with ecocide @defendourjuries.bsky.social

was going to thread this article I wrote today but @bettycjung.bsky.social has done it for me! so here you go :-)

Quite the first paragraph. No idea as to the merits of the claim, but A+ for effort.

It’s even deeper than that, the politicians weren’t honest with citizens because they weren’t honest with themselves. They didn’t have an incentive - or more impactful, a shock - to face this, and were happy to benefit from US protection. US benefitted too, NATO was European stability on the cheap

🚨 A 73-year-old man was killed, and another local resident injured in a Russian attack on Odesa and the region. At least 20 private homes, a business center, a post office, a medical lab, shops, and cars were damaged or destroyed.

Chaos is not an adequate word to describe yesterday www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03... Trump is doing what Musk wants: he is seeking to destroy, and right now it looks like he will succeed.

MAGA really doesn’t like the Trump, Putin, and Elon Musk floats at the carnival parade in Germany. My hats off to the Germans! 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

The last time America increased tariffs like this, it was 1930 — and it triggered the Great Depression.

Peaceful protest is a fundamental democratic right which must be defended The decision in @libertyhq.bsky.social’s important case will affect all of us & is due any time now. This is why I’m standing shoulder to shoulder with them and I hope you will too youtu.be/qk5aiRXRuU0?...

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

I am going to say this again.... He is using Hitlers playbook, from day fucking ONE!!
