Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst. We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

Byline Times is facing major DDOS (malicious traffic-flooding) issues on our site apparently after this article went live... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

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-...

Byline Times is an excellent subscription to be made - support independent media in the UK that is without favour or fear!

This is beyond fucking despicable. Threatening to shut off Starlink to Ukraine, a raped pillaged country (invaded by a dictator that this headcase and his bitch president refuses to condemn) unless they give up their natural resources is the most grim act of coercion I’ve seen.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Recently renewed my @bylinetimes.bsky.social subscription. Supporting their journalism feels like a small thing I can do in the face of the current shitstorm. Between this and the #6Nations, that's my weekend sorted

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Trump isn’t going to end the war in Ukraine. He’s going to make it easier for Russia to keep what it stole and greenlight Putin to go after other countries.

FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER

Get it, now?! 👇 Elon. Is. A. Criminal. Too. ✨

Don't repost this. It upsets Elon Musk.

Doesn't know what AI is, doesn't know what duplicitous means, doesn't know what the CDC does.

No shock whatsoever to see trainee leper Steve Bannon try and out-Nazi Elon Musk at yesterday’s big Far Right gangbang at CPAC Worth noting that Bannon is cited by cloth-headed galloping political embarrassment Liz Truss as one of her heroes and supposed saviour of Western civilisation

INDISPUTABLE FACTS: •Russia invaded Ukraine. •Ukraine bears no responsibility for Russia’s invasion. •Russian aggression is a threat to the entire world. •We stand with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We stand w/all the people of Ukraine. Follow all: WE ARE THE OPPOSITION. go.bsky.app/AMZH6uh

Fuck Marco Rubio.

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

The myth of russia’s invincibility is a strategic ploy to manipulate negotiations, spreading falsehoods like: russia’s military is unbeatable Ukraine’s allies will abandon them Zelenskyy is unpopular and weak Ukraine, not russia, started the war Trump’s rhetoric echoes this, don’t fall for it

“Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over democracies of free Europe.He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny” www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

“They try to destroy truth because truth is the greatest threat to their rule. As long as truth exists, they can be scrutinised and held wanting. Once it is vanquished… there is no basis upon which they can be held to account.” We absolutely must hold the line. iandunt.substack.com/p/the-lies-a...

Ed Davey, "Our closest ally, the United States, is now supporting Russia, removing itself from the defence of Europe and the UK" "We've got to make the defence of our country our top priority"

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

“You know what, the Americans had our flag on their floor in the dressing room, and now I wanna know if they want us to sign it..”

History will not be kind…

This evil fucking turtle wants to whine about the politicization of judges? Yeah, I don’t fucking think so.

Months of pressure—and now Labour is finally budging on a 🇬🇧🇪🇺Youth Mobility Scheme. This has to be the first step in fixing our broken EU relationship. We’ll scrutinise every detail and keep pushing to make sure young people get the opportunities they deserve—no half-measures. shorturl.at/ottJ0

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

“Dr Mike Galsworthy, chairman of the European Movement UK, told The Independent: “This is welcome news. We need to start pulling this country out of the no-growth quagmire of Brexit and start giving people hope for a better, brighter future.””

We stand for solutions, not scapegoats. We’re against billionaires bankrolling division, against politicians propping up a system rigged against us, and for a future rooted in working-class unity, solidarity and justice. Join the fightback!✊🏽 RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/no-th...

Brilliant.

SPOT ON! In the UK, lying to parliament is taken seriously, but lying to the electorate is taken for granted. Fat slug Johnson never knowingly told the truth - which is how we got the omnishambles of Brexit, and find ourselves with few allies, now the US has become a snake in the grass

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

they're fucking us in the face

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

The time for being nice is well past. Time for people and organisations to nail their colours to the mast. Just boot him out.
