How about an election in Russia?

It’d be really great right now if those involved in #Golf could start speaking out about #Trump. I’m not normally one to advocate the conflation of politics and sport, but I’m beginning to think it’s the only way he’ll listen, and the only language he’ll understand. #ProfessionalGolfers #PGA #UKGolf

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

It’s well past time for the Republican Party to speak the truth. I commend Mike Pence.

NEW: Keir Starmer has remained silent after Donald Trump called Ukraine's president a 'dictator' who 'started' the war with Russia. Other Western leaders, as well as opposition MPs, have criticised the US president Read more: www.thenational.scot/news/2494936...

Америка First 😆

Can anyone in the BlueSky community explain why a post of mine from over a month ago has suddenly started attracting a lot of likes? I see no obvious reason. Has something happened to the algorithm? Am I on some list somewhere?! 🤔

Hearing Richard Shirreff speaking Today on #BBCr4 - he did an excellent job of articulating in a few minutes what the UK Government hasn’t been able to say in far longer: Ukraine needs the prospect of NATO membership to limit Russian aggression.

After watching this episode of @newsagents.bsky.social with Seth Harris, I’m beginning to realise that Trump’s second tenure as POTUS is basically just an episode of #ArrestedDevelopment and we’re all playing the part of Michael ‘Nichael’ Bluth. youtu.be/yXEztVa0Bmk?...

Is it too much to ask that the UK government actually stands up to Trump, billionaire oligarchs, authoritarian despots and mega corporations that avoid taxes and any accountability? Starmer and Labour deserve to lose the next election. Token wins against Badenoch at PMQs won’t win them votes. 🥀

Turns out Trump’s ‘art of negotiation’ is actually wholesale concession of sovereign territory to the aggressors. Trump isn’t offering peace, he’s offering total capitulation. F*ck America. F*ck Trump.

Idiocy. Lifetime cost estimates for underground power lines are £10.2m to £24.1m per KM. The lifetime cost estimate for overhead lines is £2.2m to £4.2m per KM (Source: HoL debate, 29.02.24). Undergrounding power lines, might seem nice, but those costs will inevitably be passed on to consumers!

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.” My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts. Sorry, but it has to be said:

Something tells me that all it would take is just one journalist or reporter to make the faux pas of uttering “President Musk” in Trump’s presence, for him to then have a meltdown/crisis and kick Musk out.

Trump appears triggered by the new TIME cover depicting Elon Musk behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office: Trump: Is Time magazine still in business? I didn't even know that.

Trump’s stance on the #InternationalCriminalCourt leaves the USA part of club comprising the following countries, all of which refused to sign the #RomeStatute or withdrew from it: Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iraq, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Burundi and The Gambia.

Anybody else thinking Trump’s increasingly self-isolated America is just a bird-flu epidemic away from being completely crippled? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🚨BIG SCOOP: Musk’s DOGE Teen Was Fired By Cybersecurity Firm for Leaking Company Secrets Edward Coristine posted online that he had retained access to the firm’s servers. Now he has access to sensitive government information. 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I think this kind of unity is the sort of thing that will dent Trump. Isolate the USA en masse. Make it a pariah, gut his power - starve him of influence. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@bsky.app you really need to reinstate @vizcomic.bsky.social - it’s a satirical website that deliberately, consciously posts the kind of nonsense that the British find entertaining and humorous. It’s not spam. Or low quality content. See:

Not sure who is advising the UK Home Office on this issue, but the proposed/requested access is a fundamentally flawed plan. The privacy of every user cannot be accepted as collateral damage in the quest to provide a short-lived, false sense of assurance & security. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“You guys are arguing over Taylor Swift tickets over here… this guy took $500m out of the market 48 hours before he was sworn in!” @scaramucci.bsky.social says there is incredibly “no outrage” after President Trump launched a cryptocurrency #Peston

“Rubio said Trump's proposal was…a "generous move", showing "the willingness of the United States to become responsible for the reconstruction of that area". The more generous thing is to accept responsibility for contributing the DEconstruction (aka destruction). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
