Explains why Taiwan doesn't want Starlink.

Multiple sources say… Elon Musk threatens to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services… Unless Ukraine signs mineral rights deal with Trump… www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Okay, so we can all see what's on the horizon and part of the blackmail against Ukraine Starlink will be turned off especially for frontline areas. This is clear as day, no matter what Ukraine aggress to or not with the 'mineral rights' or 'elections' BS. But for us #NAFO, this raises a big issue.

The Board of Governors of the U.S. Postal Service is bracing for an attempted takeover by the Trump administration and has retained outside counsel to fight any executive order to that effect, according to two sources with knowledge of the board’s plans.

Staffing the security apparatus and justice department with loyalists and purging non loyal elements is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. It’s not a “shake up”; it’s power consolidation.

I think humanitarian aid as an extension of soft imperial power is good and "have free elections and we'll cure your tuberculosis" is the best game in town.

President Trump has ousted Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown and says he is replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine. A retired four-star general expressed serious dismay over this move to me tonight, calling it "sadly political and tragic for our nation."

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...

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Imagine being a US intelligence officer who spent the last several years working with Ukrainians on the ground as the Russians hav murdered, raped and pillaged Ukraine. And your President then says this nonsense. Total Kremlin talking points. Disgraceful. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/t...

Literally just talked to an Afghan Uber driver in DC tonight who said he worked as an interpreter for US military for four years — and his wife is now trapped in limbo. He’s spent $16k in legal fees. “I served the US, I should have my wife here”

UAV operators of "Pryvyd Khortytsi" tracked the location of Russian troops using fiber optics as they were launching drones and neutralized them.

Interesting read - 'Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality' www.thetimes.com/article/b3bb...

The Defense Tech Innovations Forum 2025 in Kyiv featured Ukraine's "Trembita" missile, reaching speeds of 400 km/h, and the strike drone "Bulava," effective at 60 km range. The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine also announced AI-integrated drone swarms.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash. Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous. I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.

on top of everything else, the purging of any mention of DEI from government sites is a gigantic waste of time and taxpayer dollars. not very "efficient" to do this! www.404media.co/the-bigotry-...

DOGE puts a $1 limit on government credit cards. Every single federal employee should order one $.96 Pentel ballpoint pen www.wired.com/story/doge-g...

Definitionally the aesthetics of neofascist camp. Let a thousand dissertations bloom.

Trump cannot “turn off” The UK’s nuclear weapons. Missiles are leased from USA. UK would face significant & expensive difficulty maintaining capability past a relatively (year+?) short or mid-period. UK has indicated it will do W93 warhead irrespective of if USA does or doesn’t.

Just got word that our Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Inclusive Excellence 3 (IE3) Grant was being canceled. All 100+ institutions. So even private funding is susceptible to this administration’s unraveling of DEI initiatives

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay. They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro. Happy Black History Month!

Kash Patel’s confirmation to head the FBI is quite a contrast to what happened with Richard Nixon’s first pick, L. Patrick Gray, who Congress rejected for being to partisan & too close to the president—the same characteristics Patel possesses. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

My (estranged by my choice) white supremacist father hated that the USPS wasn’t segregated & lily white & was vocal about it whilst I grew up. Any difficulties w/USPS & he would rant & drop n-bombs. Bizarre to see media reproduce “DEI” & “cost cutting” discourse but not talk racism & segregation.

Despite decades of support from the west, Georgia is sliding into authoritarianism. 💬 The west’s comprehensive response to Georgia’s crisis will not only shape this resilient nation’s future but also define the west's credibility as democracy defenders, says Tamar Khuntsaria. 🔗 ow.ly/6VP250V46bl
