BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

The conversation here IS and SHOULD BE about individuals. But like with any large scale (eco)system we need to talk about how the system itself grooms this behaviour. Otherwise politicians of all stripes will continue to be moulded to do this.

Inspired by this, here’s my REM Songs That I Really Like Playing on Guitar playlist. Was hard to get to fit into 79 minutes. Will probably take that long to post it with YouTube links too. youtu.be/_We6ubpUHZs?...

It’s hard not to read this news and conclude that they were fired for being female or black. That is in the end what the reverse of DEI is www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Ok #Arsenal the overall trajectory has been good. But we probably need to get a move on, on an account of the impending collapse of the world order.

“Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know…” Trump fires Black joint chiefs chair Hegseth accused of “DEI woke shit” I know BlueSky is supposed to be all nice and positive, etc, but more people should be reading about stuff like this… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Honestly, this is an insane thing for a major political party to be running with. It’s mad. It’s by mad people for mad people.

Just looking at the latest YouGov poll - the Tories are on 9% with people under 50. It is not clear to me how this helps with that problem.

I do not understand how anyone paying attention over the last 12 years could not have known that, if he could, Trump was always going to turn the US into a replica of Putin’s Russia. Like, how much clearer could it have been?

The US Secretary of Agriculture thinks "biodiversity" is a DEI initiative. Here's all you need to understand American politics right now: 1. Think of the stupidest person in your life. 2. That person's in charge, now. 3. But they got stupider. 4. And it means people will get sick and die.

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for
