Carole Cadwalladr has long been the canary in the coal mine. She uncovered the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2016. Well worth your time to read.

Petition: Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible. Even better than signing the petition, we can give Starmer a good push by voting for pro-EU parties in the local elections. Politicians heed votes, not words. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Far more Americans say Putin and Trump are dictators than Zelensky. But it is still shocking that 22% of all those polled and 33% of Republicans say Zelensky is a dictator. It shows just how far Russian propaganda has penetrated American society, doubtless, in part, thanks to Elon Musk.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Donnie, the parrot, is remarkable for how quickly he learns to repeat the phrases taught to him by his owner, Mr Putin. "He's amazing" said Mr Putin, "It's almost as if he understands what he's saying."

In spite of immense losses and increasing damage to Russia's economy, Putin kept the war against Ukraine going in the hope that his tool, Trump, would come to his aid. Had Trump been a loyal American, Putin would almost certainly have sought peace much earlier.

Musk called USAID a criminal organization that could have funded research on “biological weapons,” including COVID-19 Musk was echoing Russia's lies about American bioweapons in Ukraine. Musk, Trump & Vance are traitors serving Putin. unn.ua/en/news/musk...

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 kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

The USA has elected a parrot as President. Donnie is a clever parrot who quickly learns to repeat phrases taught to him by his Russian owner, Mr Putin.

There is still time to go to the SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE protest in London on Saturday starting at 12 noon. Please repost to get maximum coverage.

I want my Freedom of Movement back!

The White House posted this King Trump image on Instagram. I think we should take it seriously. It's very likely that Trump aspires to be the founder, not just of a dictatorship that could be ruled by anybody, but of a Trump dynasty of American monarchs.

Censorship on X is becoming more blatant. Until recently, Musk has manipulated speech on X through the algorithm and by unleashing hordes of fascist and dictator trolls to shout down his enemies. Now it's more overt. Fascists support free speech until they gain the power to suppress it.

Brexit was the result of a successful Russian influence operation.

FFS, don't just like the post. Repost it! People need to know about tomorrow's SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE protest. And when you've reposted it, write your own post publicising the event.

We are much worse and much more dangerous than Germany in 1933. Imagine if Hitler had done this in the U.S. in 1933? Because THAT is what is happening now. The world’s largest democratic super power is lowering an Iron Curtain. Once its down it’s Byebye America.

Why The Independent will not be silent in the face of Trump’s assault on truth and democracy The US president is peddling dangerous misinformation about Zelensky and Ukraine – now is the time to tell the truth and stand up to the bully in the White House www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

www.cityam.com/america-firs... My latest in City AM argues that the need to create an American-less military-industrial complex is as good a reason as any for Britain to enter into a customs union with the EU for industrial goods. European rearmament is too important to leave to the French to lead

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

Putin, Musk, and Trump are working to create a world of brutal dictatorships, aggressive empires, and oligarchs who treat the rest of humanity like their personal possessions.

SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE February 22nd London. This is getting far too little attention. We must stand with Ukraine and raise our voices in defence of democracy. If we don't act, then in just a few years' time, democracy, freedom, and human rights will be dead. It's as simple as that.

SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE London February 22nd. Please repost and share.

Starmer will talk to Trump. The latter will BS him with some nice words. Starmer will say that they had a positive discussion. Meanwhile, Putin, Musk, and Trump will continue to dismantle Western democracy. The USA is now Germany in 1933, shortly after Hitler took power.

Putin did this, and Farage and the Tories, did it for money.

IT IS A COUP. In the few days since @carolecadwalla.bsky.social wrote this terrifying article, Trump and Musk have loudly displayed their allegiance to Putin. They are rapidly turning the USA into a Putinist dictatorship. broligarchy.substack.com/p/it-is-a-co...

What do we do when working within the system no longer works? This is the great and for many, unaskable, question looming above Washington on this dark, cold February night. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

"Wherever I go, God rules. When I walk on White House Grounds, God walks on White House Grounds." This loudmouthed charlatan is televangelist Paula White, who Trump has appointed to lead the White House ‘Faith Office.’ If people believe fraudsters like her, no wonder they believe Trump.

It’s condemning millions to Russian captivity Asking any Ukrainian to sign their name on that is unconscionable

More than ever, what happened between the Leave Campaign and Russia needs to be thoroughly investigated. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk @bylinetimes.bsky.social @carolecadwalla.bsky.social yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

Traitor Trump continues his work for Putin.

There is a stench of corruption around DOGE. Musk has bought the power to twist government to his own private profit.

I thought Musk was a free speech absolutist. No, he's just another lying fascist.

Of. Course. Credible sources tell IG that the Russian asset and weasel Kash Patel lied to senators during confirmation hearings If he lied to them then, he'll lie to them every damn time he comes for a hearing An FBI Director who lies on day one will lie every day thereafter

Polish PM Donald Tusk is right, the time for hesitancy and half-measures is long past. The UK should work with the EU and make this happen...yesterday! #StandWithUkraine

Unapologetically. ✊🇪🇺

I beg all Americans who want democracy to survive in the USA to use your Second Amendment rights to the maximum and prepare for civil conflict. The regime will not permit a democratic transfer of power, and it will use violence to maintain its control.

Another step towards fascist dictatorship – the abuse of legal process as a tool of intimidation. It's much used by Putin.

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.
