Fascism.

Today I learnt how to refer to a pie chart in Portuguese.

The UK is ground down & people are angry after over a decade of austerity. We voted for change last year, & economic & social renewal, not more of the same. Reeves’ support for Tory rules will undo her & open the door to fascism. This will be unforgivable. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Absolutely brilliant article and sums up my thoughts on Labour's shameful display of authoritarianism and betrayal of its own values to pander to a political force it should outright reject... unherd.com/2025/02/labo...

Fanone: There’s a lot of John Fettermans in the world and unfortunately, that’s why we’re in the predicament that we’re in

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

If you want to understand that no, Mark Zuckerman isn't some harmless money-grubbing schmuck, go read the truly shocking "Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica And The Plot To Break America" by whistleblower Christopher Wylie. You will have trouble sleeping after reading this book.

BREAKING: CNN has now CONFIRMED that the freed “prisoner” in their report was NOT an ordinary citizen as reported and as he claimed. As local Syrian sources were saying, he was indeed an Assad intelligence officer who faked his story with CNN. 👇

Oil gives you wings: PSG, Red Bull Salzburg and a bad advert for football

We live in a very sick, dysfunctional world. Where a multi-millionaire pays 6 million quid for a piece of tired, derivative art ('found object attached to wall' has been done to death) just for a laugh, and to get his face splashed across global media. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Bluesky is truly having an incredible run as Threads' head of product

Farmers: “The British public should show us more respect. We shouldn’t have to pay the same taxes as everyone else.” Also Farmers:

I'm not sure Jeremy Clarkson is the most sympathetic champion for poor farmers, many of whose concerns about the loss of #Brexit subsidies and poor trade deals are legitimate. Here is what he told Top Gear magazine when he bought his farm 👇🏽 and what he claims today 👇🏽. 🧐~AA

Victoria a pro as usual, Clarkson giving figures that were made up in his head to form a faux outrage

Those stratospheric billionaires eh? They just don't seem to want workers to have the right to strike Who'd have thought it? No historical precedent of the super rich trying to deny others' rights ....oh hang on

"'Con Artist,' 'Sore Loser,' 'Saudi’s Bitch': How Trump's Own Cabinet Picks Have Described Their New Boss" As I explain for Zeteo, you don’t need liberals to tell you how bad Trump is – here’s what 9 members of his own new administration-in-waiting have said (Rubio, Musk, RFK Jr., Gabbard, etc):

Islam in Ukraine dates back over a thousand years and is deeply woven into the nation’s heritage. Though Christianity is predominant, today’s journey highlights Ukraine’s rich diversity, showing Islam as an integral part of its history. (1/5)

“bluesky is an echo chamber” everywhere’s an echo chamber i’m going with the one without cybertruck guys

A new UN report finds that the policies and practices of Israel are "consistent with the characteristics of genocide". There is no excuse for saying you did not know. This is genocide in plain sight. www.ohchr.org/en/documents...

I really don’t understand this whole ‘stay on Twitter and fight’ thing. You’re jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads it’s not Waterloo.

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.

This is awful & heartbreaking. Schoolchildren from struggling families have pretended to eat out of empty lunchboxes to save their embarrassment at having no food. Ending child poverty must be a priority for the Government www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There are many valid explanations for the success of the far right around the world. But much of it comes down to this: The right has realised that anything is possible, while the left has persuaded itself that nothing is possible.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
