Overnight news: Trump has again raised the idea of a third term in office. Bannon has given a Nazi salute. No need to worry obviously- they’re just trolling the libs

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Which billionaire are you most excited to die on the battlefield for?

Until recently, I talked all the time about how weird it was to be the top Google search result for 'ketamine president'. Turns out it's much, much, much weirder to *no longer* be the top Google search result for 'ketamine president'.

Do the people in the USA ever question the fact that they are the richest country in the world, but crime, healthcare, education, life expectancy are all like a 3rd world country. Do they not realize they are being robbed?

So a fossil fuel company that bought a CO₂ removal (CDR) startup for $1.1 billion plans to use the CO₂ captured from the atmosphere to get more oil out of the ground. It's…not great at all.

Since putting up this crowdfunding page, the Daily Mail has sent us, through their lawyers (RPC), two defamation threats. A few points about them. 🧵 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A Lot More rain, as a message, might actually cut through to the general public. It is a very tangible and imaginable scenario.

Me: I'll go home and make salad tonight The salad:

British people think Solange's Binz, is about taking the recycling out once a week.

As #Trump suggests #Ukraine started the war, is there any point talking about NATO or even "the West" as a meaningful construct any more? @goldbergradio.bsky.social is joined by @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social in #odesa From @bylinetimes.bsky.social podfollow.com/1747192337/e...

Trump is bending the knee to Putin, blaming Zelensky for Russia’s invasion. Meanwhile, Farage and Reform UK cheer him on from the sidelines. Ukraine’s future belongs to its people, not to tyrants rewriting history.

Very interesting read but feckin scary at the same time

Lots of people are happy that Tommy Robinson is behind bars. If you're happy, let everyone know.

oh we're talking about sissy hypno derangement again? i think it's hilarious that there's people who think it's real. if hypnosis porn was able to make someone transition they'd be putting "i don't want to unionize. i want to rescind my labour rights" in the porn instead

We absoutely must oppose Trump's US fascist infrastructure being built here in Wales. No DARC. www.gov.uk/guidance/dee...

I wonder how long it will be till the nazis insist Disney putting a woke content warning on, say, Captain Marvel?

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social nails it, what’s happening in the US isn’t just politics as usual, it’s a full-blown shift toward #Broligarchy. Now @theguardian.com’s ditching experienced journalists like her and jumping in bed with #OpenAI? Support independent journalism if you can. #USPol #Politics

Phone now sends me transcriptions of voicemails. Very confused by this one until I listened to it. Turns out ‘sexy literally’ is in fact ‘Specsavers Bletchley’

UK queue for connection of batteries to the grid by 2030 is now 61GW, whilst UK Clean Power Plan only calls for 27GW By 2035 the queue is 129GW whilst the 'need' is just 29GW Massively helpful for a key part of Clean Power Plan delivery. But...there will be losers www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Just two days ago Donald Tusk said that "Europe urgently needs its own plan of action concerning Ukraine and our security". Today he's rejecting the idea of a joint European peacekeeping force. Yet had no problem in sending troops to Afghanistan where Poland had no security interests to protect.

"Until greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to net zero, heat and drought extremes will continue to intensify across the world, causing greater problems for agriculture and food prices than those we are currently facing.” PIK schientist Max Kotz via Guardian. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Normalise booing the US anthem.

The leaders of 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇬🇧🇮🇹🇵🇱🇪🇸🇳🇱🇩🇰 are holding an emergency meeting in Paris today to respond to the US vice president's Munich provocations and try to reach consensus on how Europe should respond. The 1st step should be ending the denial about what the US really is, and devise a solution from there.

With a liberal concensus the media's failure to have any balls could hide behind a facade of business and usual respectability. Not anymore.

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better. RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

An important thread about Ukraine and European security from the former minister of foreign affairs of Lithuania. Worth reading. Europe must act fast. Not only for its own security but also for the climate. Russian and American fossil fuel interests cannot be allowed to dictate European priorities.

1/ Europe at Munich Security Conference looked like deer in Trump administration's headlights. How have we got this far without a concrete European plan for Ukraine to put on table? How is there *still* no proper consensus among major EU governments (+UK) on how far Europe is willing to step up?
