Just back from seeing this at our local theatre. Absolutely hilarious, despite original book being published in 1938, the story of this Tory politician who rose through the ranks after attending Eton & Oxford by lying, cheating & sleeping his way to the top could have actually been based on Johnson

It’s hard not to read this news and conclude that they were fired for being female or black. That is in the end what the reverse of DEI is www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Excellent thread, echoes what my Norwegian grandfather Julius told us (he was tortured by the Gestapo, lost a kidney and was imprisoned in a camp for much of Norway’s occupation during WW2. He never regretted his resistance against the Nazis 🇳🇴)

A former Soviet spy says that Trump was indeed recruited to the KGB 38 years ago by his department. He was given a codename, 'Krasnov'. We checked, and the source was indeed a KBG intelligence officer at the time. Read about it in my @bylinetimes.bsky.social report: bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

The AfD also has a family values principle that a German family should consist of "Vater, Mutter und Kindern" that is "father, mother and children." Weidel meanwhile lives with her wife, who has two biological children of her own (different fathers). Nothing contradictory here whatsoever.
