(šŸ“¢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and thenā€”possibly under some form of threatā€”deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Zelenskyy has shown the world what democracy means. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and a sexual pervert. These two men shouldnā€™t even be mentioned in the same sentence.

Some historyā€¦ www.theguardian.com/news/2017/no...

Former KGB spy breaks cover to reveal Donald Trump was recruited as a Russian spy 38 years ago. Byline Times was subjected to a DDOS attack to prevent this story being published. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Raise your hand šŸ–ļø and Repost if you still support President Zelenskyy and the brave people of Ukraine! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ I want all of my 168K friends to follow YOU! šŸ’™ Like ā¤ļø and repost šŸ”„ and you will get MORE followers! šŸš€ Who is with me? šŸ–ļø

NEW: The Washington Post has pulled out of an agreement to run an ad in its newspaper criticising Elon Musk. This is despite signing an agreement to publish it. Democracy dies in darkness. Here is the ad. Letā€™s share it far and wide! Screw the Post.

I started eating real food again in 2024!ā€¦I have now stopped the Peptamen food formula completely, and get all my calories from real food!...And I want to tell you because I want you to hear this story!...what will 2025 bring? #MECFS New post on my blog: www.whitneydafoe.com/mecfs/?post=...

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Lord Sumption, "The Unites States is now a very very unreliable ally, and we have to make ourselves less dependent on the US"

Pressure is growing on the Royal Society to expel Elon Musk from its fellowship after more than a thousand scientists signed an open letter expressing dismay at its lack of action on the matter www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

christinapagel.substack.com/p/so-this-is... ā€œ It seems unbelievable to state baldly that USA is on the path to becoming an authoritarian regimeā€¦That the US is a threat to the global economy, to global health and to global stability. But it is, and the sooner this is acknowledged the better.ā€ šŸ’„

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Muskā€™s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBCā€™s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

Feels like a good time for a little reminder: Countries aren't supposed to be run like businesses. Countries are supposed to spend money to support and serve their people. This means spending to support those living below the poverty line, the disabled and historically 1/

Trump blames diversity for the Washington plane crash. At moments of national tragedy most democratic leaders see it as their duty to bring the nation together. How can the Republican party tolerate this?

"Can you see it now?" This is a very striking illustration of how #mecfs #neurocovid #longcovid patients feel every second of their lives. Reward comes of being gaslighted by the others, including their own families. Watch the video in fullscreen. Video credit: Trugrace Artistry

Todayā€™s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: Itā€™s never a good time to bow down to a tyrantā€¦ donā€™t give in to the lies. Donā€™t give in to fear. Hold on to the truthā€¦ and hope.

Numbers growingā€¦.

He lied & lied & lied & lied & no-one in the NHS will ever see him as anything other than a grasping, greedy, crooked, venal, narcissistic charlatan. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

No, SARS-CoV-2 isnā€™t a little bit airborne. Itā€™s not ā€œsituationallyā€ airborne. Itā€™s an AIRBORNE VIRUS, spreads via the air. Iā€™m granting an amnesty on people who said (5y ago) that it wasnā€™t. I wonā€™t say I told you so if you finally acknowledge the evidence. Letā€™s just get this right and move on.

Breaking: DWP's ā€œmisleading and unfairā€ consultation on disability benefit reforms unlawful, the High Court has ruled. Ministers presented reforms as supporting disabled people into work, when cost savings was a ā€œprimary rationaleā€. Ā  Huge congrats to @ellenclifford.bsky.social A legend.

Caroline Lucas, "When you say President trump has different views, it's not about different views it's about telling lies, and we should call that out" "The truth is the truth and we should be promoting that" Well said @carolinelucas.bsky.social

With schools back in session, indoor air quality is more important than ever. With its HEPA filtration, the SA600 removes 99.97% of harmful particles, keeping classrooms healthier and quieter. Learn more: smartair.uk šŸŒ¬ļøšŸ“˜

Feels like all the attention on Elon Musk recently has distracted us from the giant shit which is Mark Zuckerberg. Hereā€™s a timely reminder that Meta is deeply dangerous and arguably has a much larger reach in spreading disinformation and destabilising democracy. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Welcome new followers - as well as top #sophiefromromania content (here she is having a duvet day today) you can expect a lot about healthtech and loads of plugs for #MoversAndShakers the award-winning podcast about living with Parkinsonā€™s. Weā€™re currently planning series 5 which starts in February

This thread has been viewed over a million times on Twitter (X). Why it is being ignored by journalists and politicians? Labour wonā€™t fix NHS waiting times unless itā€™s addressed. Please help!

When you become disabled - you donā€™t just lose your health. You lose your autonomy, independence, freedom and often ā€¦ your friends & family. Help doesnā€™t magically arrive. No one comes to save you. In fact - most people will blame and abandon you. šŸ§µ

"The first thing is to stop the lying. We need to tell people why itā€™s bad to get COVID repeatedly. Tell people why COVID can shorten oneā€™s lifespan. I think most people who are alive today will face the reality that COVID is a contributing factor to their death. Do people know this?"

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis: 1. Sufferers have lower quality-of-life than patients with heart failure, MS & end-stage renal disease. 2. Recovery is rare. 3. Treatment is often more harmful than helpful. 4. <1/3 of med schools include it in curriculum. 5. It's the NIH's least funded disease vs burden.
