White House Down #Krasnov

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Despite claiming to love his country, Nigel Farage’s silence on Trump, Putin and Ukraine shows where his loyalties really lie www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/agent-farage

Extortion, pure and simple.

Elon Musk should never have been allowed to develop the power of deciding what country wins war and what country does not.

Wasn’t expecting this in a little historic church we popped into. 👀 😂

"We are getting lots of calls about Musk and lots of calls thanking me for sticking up for Ukraine..." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This was published last October www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Daily reminder of who Musk is:

Wow… massive own goal

Brilliant front page

Jeez. US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources. Trump’s government are behaving like mobsters www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Trump’s methods at work: Reuters reports that the United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources.

Brexit…another Murdoch back bullet in the foot

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 32 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

Wait, Trump and Musk are now accusing Joe Biden of leaving people in space for political reasons? We have trash running the country. news.sky.com/story/amp/el...

Keep doing what you do @bylinetimes.bsky.social. You’ve got them worried

Take Russia's frozen assets now (written in December 2023, now even more urgent) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

#Krasnov

Congratulations @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and so well deserved. You’ve delivered masterclass after masterclass in how to hold politicians and those in power to account. You are one of the finest journalists we have in this country 👏

“At one point, McCormick…was pointedly asked about the firings of hundreds of workers at the CDC which is based in Atlanta: “Why is a supposedly conservative party taking such a radical and extremist and sloppy approach to this?” www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Time to put this guy in the #rearview. He can kiss my taillights.

Chris Kluwe. Protect him.

When these people tell you exactly who they are, make sure you listen.

Today's front page of The New York Post.

NOT SATIRE: Liz Truss is starting her own media empire. Lettuce pray for her investors. "It's only by telling people the truth in the UK, in Europe, in the Anglosphere, in America, that we will turn our backs on the war's west against itself." Gibberish. ~AA

"Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Jan. 6. Russians heard similar lies from Putin about Ukrainians prior to Putin's invasion of Ukraine. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The modern sport of ice hockey was developed in Canada, most notably in Montreal, where the first indoor game was played on March 3, 1875. All the Canada players are singing our anthem. OMG That’s a huge trophy!

"Presidents only get so much political capital. Trump has decided to invest his finite capital into supporting Putin's authoritarian regime in Moscow..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Meanwhile, “Russia believes it is in conflict with what it calls ‘the collective West,’ and is acting accordingly, up to and including threatening us with nuclear attack and building up its military” from @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/europe...
