Dear Germany, two thoughts when it comes to your elections 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 Look what happened when the UK voted for Brexit 🇺🇸 Look what Happened when the US voted again for Trump Populists promise the world, and deliver pretty much nothing other than more hate and division. Chose well and good luck 🙏

💥 Located @bylinetimes.bsky.social March issue in Sainsburys - alongside railways 🚂 free seeds 🌸 computers 💻 Mission Impossible 🍿 @forteantimes.bsky.social, and of course @privateeyenews.bsky.social - now looking forward to ‘Hacking The State’

Hope everyone in the UK remembers what Elon Musk is doing to the US government the next time Domminic Cummings writes a 30,000 word blog post on his plan to replace all the "NPCs" in Whitehall with 19 year old Nazi superforecasters.

Trump IS a Russian controlled asset. He is a TRAITOR!

The reason the USA is so messed up is because everyone thinks bad things will never happen to them.

Canadians on here actually being like "I can't believe how bad things are getting in the US" without acknowledging Alberta just passed some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws and are about to vote Doug Ford back into power. Wakeup because the far right are in inside the building

Handing the country’s mineral wealth over to a corrupt Putin supporting moron like Trump would be a lot worse than merely “unacceptable”. The sense of arrogant entitlement of this is staggering

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.

Trump is the distraction. #Resist #ArrestMusk #SayNoToFascism

Feels a bit like Jan 6, except this time without the naïve belief that everyone would abandon Trump once his depravity became undeniable.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

Nigel Farage says he will always put "country" first. Here's a reminder of which country he's talking about.

That's because Clarkson is a traitor, no two ways about it. Still, what is it these right wing Numpties tell us... "If you don't like it move". How about Russia, Clarkson. I'm sure Putin will happily send you to the front. metro.co.uk/2025/02/17/j...

'You should've never started it': Donald Trump FALSELY claims Ukraine started war with Russia www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

📌On August 18, 2020, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump get elected. The committee chair? Marco Rubio. The very Rubio who was surrendering to Putin today. Just what in the hell is going on here????

Trump Orders DOJ to Fire All Remaining Biden-Appointed US Attorneys www.newsweek.com/trump-orders...

I agree.

Right, social media site. Today is the day that the lovely people at @picadorbooks.bsky.social reveal the cover for my first crime thriller, The Cut Throat Trial. So here it is. And I think it’s rather splendid. If anybody wishes to preorder, links are below. bio.to/7zNmPU Eek.

The border czar wants the FBI to arrest AOC. A Fox News contributor is calling journalist Mehdi Hasan a terrorist. Elon Musk said everyone at 60 Minutes should go to prison. You all see how quickly we’re descending into madness, right? It’s not subtle, slow, or anything but a premeditated scheme.

For more than a decade, the West has faced off against the East again in what was widely called a new cold war. But with Trump back in office, America is giving the impression that it could be switching sides. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Forget the myths the media has created about tech bros. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

But Nigel Farrage told us Brexit would put more money into rural England for NHS? It was on a bus and everything. Remember the bus?

OMG! Hear what Musk has to say about protesters?? Attention, Elon! The golden age is a VIP club for billionaires, and guess what? We’re not on the guest list! While you thrive, the rest of us are fighting for scraps. 🤬

Trump signed an executive order that seeks to give his political appointees far-reaching control over federal agencies that for decades have operated independently of White House influence. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

We all see what’s happening—because we are the target! Who doesn’t know someone affected? “It’s a level of incompetence that we’ve never seen before in government. To say that Elon Musk is not running the United States right now is really a fallacy.” — @dougjones.bsky.social

"Like many Americans lately, I am seized with curiosity about who is actually running the government of the United States. For that reason, I watched Sean Hannity’s Fox News interview with President Donald Trump and Elon Musk," writes Tom Nichols.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Per @isabellacueto.bsky.social: “Deep cuts at Health and Human Services over the weekend = loss of workers who: - inspected pharma manufacturing plants - guarded infant formula supply - reviewed medical products - monitored wastewater for mpox - expanded maternal health access +++ more”

Coming over here, keeping our industries and high streets going, paying their taxes and buying goods, having the babies we no longer have. Who would have thought?!

Key takeaways from "brothers" Trump and Musk's "Hannity" interview: President Trump and Elon Musk defended the DOGE-led overhaul of the federal workforce and agencies during an interview on Fox News' "Hannity" that aired on Tuesday night. The big picture: The pair praised each other during the…

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

I see some of the mainstream Tories are starting to wake up to what they've spent the last decade incubating. Maybe they'll understand the need for strict red lines and a cordon sanitaire on this shite - and that you need to punch back hard, rather than indulge it.

The Andrew Neil chapter in How They Broke Britain may yet prove to be the most relevant to what lies ahead. By giving a veneer of respectability to base racism & nativist bigotry, him & Fraser Nelson literally made this stuff mainstream. Interesting just how uncomfortable the latter looks here.

A veteran Social Security Administration official resigned after a dispute with Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) attempts to access the personal data of Social Security recipients.

Chauvinist misogynistic bastards look out for each other.
