Really interesting 🧵

SPOTTED on Interstate 64 near Louisville, KY.

Utterly disgusting. This is extortion. The US government is now a criminal operation, an ally of Russia and an enemy of European democracies.

American friends might want to read this where the new Defense Secretary says he’s motivated by a Far Right belief system where the Old Testament takes precedence over civil law and where democracy is considered a threat.

Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

Washington plays by the russian book: while all eyes in the West are distracted by Vance's noise & internal turmoil (cf German elex next week), the urgent question of defense & supporting Ukraine to defend itself & hold the fort for the West, will not be addressed. This is how you break democracies.

Now at an amazing 69,551. Let’s stop the hate. action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

This ⤵️ should be seen+shared by everyone in the UK! Dont believe the fcking RW-propaganda that not just KGB News but also Sky and the BBC are trying to manipulate you with🤬🤬🤬

New: Tesla and SpaceX relied on work by undocumented immigrants while Elon Musk advocated for a border crackdown

I can't believe I'm cheering on J H-B! Tice really isn't very good at this logic thing necessary for argument www.facebook.com/share/p/15HF...

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Trump is big mad about Time magazine's cover showing Musk as president. And I'm loving every minute of it. 😂❤

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Perfectly captured.

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

For clarity

Hero.

Spanish Labour Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz has said she will withdraw from Elon Musk’s social media platform X due in part to the billionaire’s behaviour during President Donald Trump’s inauguration www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

The "devil" is in plain clothes; sometimes he even sells bibles.

REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers? TRUMP: Sure REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon? TRUMP: Well, I don't know

Remembering Janey Godley today !

Great to see this final(?) paper from our evaluation of the UK soft drinks industry levy (our soda tax) showing sustained reductions in sugar purchased from soft drinks by households. Effects seem greatest in those with highest baseline purchasing suggesting the levy may help reduce inequalities.

Remember all these headlines describing a brief rise in government borrowing costs as being "market mayhem", followed by a week of demands for Rachel Reeves to quit? Well one week later and it turns out UK gilts are now outperforming every other G7 country this year, aside from the US

We have updated this briefing ahead of a debate MPs are holding on the subject next week: whatson.parliament.uk/event/cal49814
