(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

"We are calling for immediate action to restrict the operations of Platform X (formerly Twitter) within the European Union due to its negative impact on democracy and its role in spreading disinformation." chng.it/v2NBHRqLJJ

My favourite part of the new Captain America movie is when he tries to extort Wakanda for $500b in Vibranium rights before "ironically" teaming up with Hydra to own the libs.

đź’ĄThe Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

The best thing about BlueSky is not financing a sociopath.

Absolutely. Fucking. Despicable.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

There Elon, I corrected your Pinned Tweet for you. #pleaseShareThis

An amazing *14,820* people have so far supported @goodlawproject.bsky.social's email action asking Sky to pull their ads from GB News & #StopFundingHate Can you help them get to 16,000? action.goodlawproject.org/sky-stop-fun...

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

This weekend's reading. The Byline Times website is reported to have been suffering from a DDOS attack. Someone doesn't like us reading their articles. So buy a copy. Or subscribe and they'll post it to you. 👇👇

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...

This is why we need independent media outlets funded by the public. Our Byline Times story is still available to read despite attempts to suppress it.

Trump/Musk cutting off communications access to the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fighting in horrible conditions, giving their lives defending Europe, as an extortion is exactly what the US is now. And they voted for it.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The boycott is Canada's first line of defence in a long and hard fight against gangsters and fascists. When American politicians see the mounting job losses they will start getting rattled. My message to the world is to join the boycott of all things American. No pasaran. Canada #strongasfuck

I'm on the lookout for a talented reporter to come and work with the team at @bylinetimes.bsky.social as we continue to grow. Please get in touch at [email protected] if you're interested

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Extremely fascist things happening. While everyone sits there obediently.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Drop the paywall on news! It's a huge problem people can read Fox News and Newsmax for free but to get the stories produced by journalists, they have to beg for a gift link or check out if someone saved it on the Internet Archive.

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

Yesterday GB News aired this commentary belittling a black actress on the BBC as a "diversity hire". This is what Marks & Spencer have been aligning with. Take action: www.facebook.com/MarksandSpen...

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.
