Trump is a man who dined with Holocaust deniers, praised neo-Nazis as “very fine people,” and normalized hate while pretending to defend American values.

All Russia's global war plans rely on first occupying Ukraine. This is Putin's confidante Alexander Dugin before he was urged to keep such statements out of western media.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

MAAGE.

So True

Apart from … ALL THE THINGS shaking up assumptions about geopolitics right now, this is amazing and would otherwise be headline news: apnews.com/article/japa...

Hungary is the most corrupt and third poorest country in the EU but it has a racist pro-russia and pro-china government so Elon Musk loves it and spreads disinformation about it

Whenever Tr*mp etc appear in public... Maybe just point and laugh at them. Proper belly laughing, like they are the most ridiculous thing you have ever seen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dear American friends. We agree that status quo in the Artcic is not an option. So let’s talk about how we can fix it - together. Lars Løkke Rasmussen Danish Foreign Minister

The people who tell Europe that russia is not the biggest threat Europe faces now claim that they need Greenland because of the russian threat. As dishonest as it gets! They just want Greenland’s natural resources

The russian government but from Temu

This is the article recommended by @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk this morning www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The World’s Deadliest Infectious Disease Is About to Get Worse By retracting foreign aid, Trump could make tuberculosis untreatable again. And make it the world’s deadliest infectious disease & maybe a top 5 disease again. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Canada has an economist as Prime Minister and Mexico has an environmental scientist and Dr of Philosophy for president. Meanwhile the USA has a rapist con artist and Soviet sleeper agent as their president.

MAGA: An international terrorist ideology and movement sponsored by transnational oligarchs and hostile entities e.g. Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other satellite states. Trumpian: A member or follower of the regressive terrorist far-right MAGA ideology and movement. #3E #sec

Just to be clear, if any of us did this, we would be fired. The security implications are extreme.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

I think the Atlantic piece is probably the scoopiest scoop of the last few decades. And it has clarified one thing - other than the total idiocy of sending opsec over group chats - Hegseth and Vance have a genuine animosity towards Europe. Something for us all to ponder.

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

Just a non-gentle reminder of this guy's past. People knew who he was and what he stood for. His resume was blatantly clear. Now, he is doing the same on a massive scale and with help.

Okay, this is big. Really. New finds from SE Anatolia suggest that at Gre Fılla, #Diyarbakir, Neolithic hunter-gatherers experimented with copper #metallurgy ... 9,000 years ago! Yes, that's the Pre-Poettery Neolithic we're talking about: 🏺 www.turkiyetoday.com/culture/how-...

Clear-sighted view of the threat to Europe from Russia. Denmark, a decade ago spending just over 1% of GDP on defence, is now at 2.37%, more (for the moment) than the UK, France or Germany. Europe needs to get serious, particularly with Trump more aligned with Putin’s interests than Europe’s.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did on J6

“The Justice Department has quietly informed European officials that the United States is withdrawing from a multinational group created to investigate leaders responsible for the invasion of Ukraine, including President Vladimir V. Putin” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB
