A spokesperson for Reform UK said Nathan Gill - charged with bribery offences by Met counter-terrorism command - has “nothing to do with the party… he has never been a member.” Strange, considering this post from @TiceRichard ’s Facebook page! They are liars - never trust them!

Seeing so many rallies in support for Ukraine fills me with hope and restores my faith in humanity. I am deeply thankful for everyone who stands by us even after all this time. Your support means everything. Thank you!

Putting emotions on the back burner and acting together, in a coordinated manner is exactly what we need right now. Ukrainian people who are already exhausted by the war are under a very strong emotional pressure right now. This is not the first such occasion during this war.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

There are many disturbing clips from Musk's CPAC event. But the DUMBEST thing he said is actually this. He demeans Ukrainians' sacrifice because "the line of enagagement hasn't moved". This 'genius' doesn't even get what a heroic feat it is to HOLD THE LINE against the immense Russian war machine.

What the fuck does this even mean? They are just terrorizing millions of hard working Americans for sport. Trump and Musk are the most anti-worker public leaders America may have ever produced.

I spent years being like “look guys American fascism doesn’t have to look like the German kind, it’s always been a transnational movement that draws on a variety of symbols and traditions ….” And now they’re just out there doing literal Hitler salutes.

The very simple fact is that if those high ranking military officers were white/men they would not have been fired. This is the essence of racism and sexism: The belief that form determines function.

Global crisis style note: What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!
