NEW: The Scottish Government will face a vote on suspending its support for arms companies in the wake of a weapons giant posting record profits, The National can reveal www.thenational.scot/news/2495453...

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

NEW: A boat manufacturing firm from Ross and Cromarty has been awarded a large contract to build vessels for Mowi www.thenational.scot/news/2495560...

Thanks so much to everyone so far who's signed, shared and commented on the M&S petition. If you're part of any wider networks that might be interested or supportive, please do circulate it more widely! actionstorm.org/petitions/ma...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Post WW1 Germany fell into Nazism because of hyperinflation and economic chaos, America fell into it because of record low unemployment and folks liking to “do their own research.”

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

"The university is 'complicit in enabling' sexual misconduct. “I’ve advocated for people who have been harmed, and now I’ve been harmed in the process. I am being disciplined and intimidated by both the institution and him. It’s incredibly stressful.” goodlawproject.org/lse-threaten...

High as hell waving a chainsaw in front of your dork fanboys while your child needs urgent medical help, truly deadbeat of the century

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

"I can no longer be a part of what we can all plainly see is happening to our country." Somebody should collect these incredible resignation letters and make them a book. This one is from Nate Brought, resigning as director of the NIH Executive Secretariat. www.linkedin.com/posts/nathan...

JUST IN: HNL Lab Medicine will begin subtyping all positive influenza A samples from hospitalized patients to detect H5N1 bird flu.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Meanwhile in Indiana… Dolly Parton calls out Gov. Mike Braun for plans to ditch her Imagination Library 📚. Apparently, the new governor isn’t too keen on kids doing book learning and all that fancy schooling stuff. 😳🙄😥

What in the absolute fuck is going on at the University of Cincinnati? For the record, trans men are just as biological as any other sort of man. They aren't made of metal or something.

#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 asking for defence after 9/11 As a result, 1,105 European and Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan war - 1/3 of all coalition casualties I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help

The data could not be more clear: our public services will collapse without immigration. People desperately need to come here & we desperately need people, too. Me, for @metrouk.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2025/02/19/n...

We have a new article up on Bad Ancient all about the Spartan Krypteia! We had to completely redraft sections in light of brand new scholarship that was published as we were working on it, so consider this cutting edge stuff! #AncientBluesky www.badancient.com/claims/krypt...

Amazon gains full creative control of Bond. I'm not even particularly a fan, but it was impressive to see decades of fairly rigid quality control. You can now kiss that goodbye under this simpering halfwit. Just more sludge to be fed into the content engine. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/fe...

Hey, uh if you feel so inclined, I have a shop. I’m broke as shit rn.

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

Believing that they would somehow be immune to the casual cruelty, many more people are going to experience America as we have— dispossessed and without franchise.

On PREVAIL, I talk to @katherinestewart.bsky.social about her spectacular & timely new book MONEY LIES & GOD. Want to REALLY understand what we're up against? Listen to the podcast & buy the book (not necessarily in that order)! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m... www.amazon.com/Money-Lies-G...

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

This means Shetland could produce huge amounts of green hydrogen using solar most of which it could store around the island to provide energy for when the sun isn't shining... This would make them essentially energy independent. www.facebook.com/reel/9283974...

Labour’s NI increase will directly cost Scotland’s NHS health boards £191 million next year plus another £210m for GPs, dentists, pharmacists, care homes…Westminster has only provided up to £380m, leaving a shortfall or cuts of at least £379m from April www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2477...

Once more, Farage is claiming that he stood up in the European Parliament in early 2014 and predicted the Ukraine war. In fact, he stood up in September 2014, AFTER the annexation of Crimea, and blamed Europe for Putin's actions. I kept the receipts. Listen here 👇🏽 open.spotify.com/episode/77cz...
