Corporate Welfare The owner of the Drax power reported £1.06bn pre-tax profit, its highest ever. Burns wood to produce UK electricity. Receives subsidies - will add up to £10bn from 2012 to 2027. Money straight from public purse to shareholders. Scam on every count.

1/ The nascent Tesla boycott movement got me thinking back to the 80s anti-apartheid movement. How it took off and literally changed the world. If the South African apartheid regime could be brought down, perhaps one South African oligarch could be? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk gutting programs that help the disabled, the very sick and the elderly is part of Eugenics. Musk believes in idea of eliminating the people from society he views as "weaker" so that only the "strong" survive. This is known as "Scientific racism" and it's intertwined with white supremacy

Auchincloss: Trump doesn’t have to face the voters again, so I understand what he's doing. He's trying to hook up all these billionaires who invested in his campaign. He owes them, but for the life of me, I can’t understand why Republicans are allowing Trump to frog-march them off the gangplank.

Republicans are planning to raise the deficit by $4.6 trillion dollars over the decade courtesy of more tax cuts for the rich. Meanwhile, 40% of the contracts DOGE has cut won't result in any savings. And it deleted its 5 biggest spending cuts from its "wall of receipts." Hello?

This bronze pin with amber and glass beads was found on the edge of the Uechter Moor, a bog in Lower Saxony. In the Iron Age, elaborate jewellery was often deposited in lakes or bogs as an offering to the gods. The pin dates to the 6th-4th c. BC. On display at Landesmuseum Hannover 📷 me 🏺

Okay, so. I don’t know how much of a heads up this is when it’s just a notice about these 2 mutations. Do they really raise serious concerns about “increased transmission?” Sort of. It’s more complex than D701N & E626K, omg pandemic bird flu. What do these mutations do in H5N1?

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

This is stunning. The Secretary of State, acting as director of USAID, authorized specific grant payments--with the president's support--only to have them halted by Musk associates. This is beyond a president exceeding his power, "DOGE" is operating outside and against the US Constitution.

Learning about Roman influence on Scandinavia helped me understand how cultural and political hegemony works in general. The Romans never had boots on the ground there, but elements of their governance and economics were nonetheless adopted by local rulers.
