ICYMI: @sulliview.bsky.social is worried the media will be more willing to self-censor under Trump 2.0... and that his administration will use the Espionage Act to go after both journalists & their sources. My Q&A w/ her for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you want to know what’s going on in #canada right now-and lordy there is a lot- we suggest @thetyee.ca Alberta has always been the Texas of Canada and the current leader is sketchy af. You may want to read this and know your world. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

Jean Marie Le Pen is dead. May he rot in hell with the rest of satan’s spawn who spent their time in earth sowing discord and hate in the world. news.sky.com/story/french...

Oh, Canada. Trudeau wasn’t the best but Poilievre is the worst.

META is a shithole and Zuckerberg is King Rat. Says he’s going to go after counties who won’t allow his platform’s lies to pollute their people. Dystopian at best. www.ft.com/content/7693...

Four years ago today. Later this afternoon Congress will certify the election victory of the man who fuelled it all. And, in 14 days, he returns to the Oval Office promising to pardon every rioter involved.

Don’t kid yourself over Austria. Almost 1M Austrians collaborated with the Nazis. The majority of bureaucrats who implemented the Final Solution were Austrian. Austria was an integral part of the Third Reich. Meloni at Maralago. Musk pushing the far right. 🧐🤔🤨😑😶 www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/...

It was never about email security with Hillary. Never. The press turned her minor mistake on email security into the biggest story in the world FOR PROFIT. When we say the press is to blame for the rise of fascism in America, this is what we mean. www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

In a shift in policy, Sudan is now refusing to host a Russian naval base due to the potential damage to foreign relations, The Moscow Times reported, citing Sudanese officials. Russia and Sudan signed a joint agreement for the base, but it was never ratified due to the Sudanese Civil War.

He’s a dog with a new trick. Prediction: Trump will sue every news outlet that didn’t/will not bend a knee to the orange oligarch. THIS is the frog in boiling water folks. Trump will sue democracy in to dust. Mark out words. This is how it starts and ends. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Congress passed a bill to add over 60 new federal judgeships. President Joe Biden says he will veto it because the GOP's concerns about judges' caseloads are not the "true motivating force" behind the passage of the bill.

“This is a film about corruption." Producer @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social discusses "The Bibi Files," a documentary that examines Benjamin Netanyahu's years-long bribery scandal and how he "wages endless war" to stay in power. https://www.democracynow.org/2024/12/17/bibi_files

PSNI and Met police’s unlawful spying on journalists may be tip of the iceberg

Conservative governments cannot win legitimately. This is why Musk is such a useful idiot.

Ukraine's SBU security service’s special operation against a "war criminal" and legitimate target. Kirillov and an aide were killed by explosives planted in an electric scooter 👇🏼 www.bbc.com/news/article...

NEW: After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs. Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal. www.propublica.org/article/unit... 👇

TIME has published a 2,800-word fact-check of its interview with Trump. That's a lot of statements that needed checking... time.com/7201574/pers...

I've reached a dire conclusion: The commercial news industry is incapable of fulfilling its constitutional duties presswatchers.org/2024/12/the-...

Canada’s dirty secret. RIETs should be illegal. Again, you can thank the conservatives -Mulroney to be exact, for planting the seeds for this nightmare.

2014 Al-Golani said his goal was to see Syria under Islamic law, that there was no room for Alawite, Shiite, Druze and Christian minorities. In ‘16 cut ties to al-Qaida. In ‘21 said he posed no threat Russia, Iran, the US, Turkey and Israel have their hands in Syria. www.politico.eu/article/bash...

@briantylercohen.bsky.social

Because the ONLY way useless conservative politics can survive is either via Russian/Chinese intervention or by obscene “donations” from degenerate billionaires from other countries. #FuckElonMusk

Keep in mind, Putin is Assad’s buddy and MAGA supports Putin. Know your enemy. Know your world.

Know your world. news.sky.com/story/if-ass...

A LOT MORE. unfortunately Trump will gut education ensuring more dumb people for republicans to sucker. Conservatives love stupid people.

Seriously tho… beyond bizarre.

There is more to this story than meets the eye. The official statement is that it is a national security threat. Zoom out to 30,000 feet. Take a wider look. Australia has banned kids under 16 from social media. Just this year alone, every single Con’t 👇🏼 www.reuters.com/legal/us-app...
