If you’re trying to use the preorder code at Waterstones today, you’ll find that a lot of new authors aren’t included! I would suggest you hop over to Hive books instead. Always cheaper and delivery is free on books over £15. I don’t buy my books from anywhere else. www.hive.co.uk/Product/Rach...

“NATO may have already died - in the sense that, if the Article 5 commitment is no longer believable, if it is not something you can bank on, we may already be at a point when we need to start looking at something else, which looks a bit like NATO but doesn’t involve the US.”

If Trump/Musk actually audit Fort Knox & discover there’s no reserve left. Won’t America go bust or is it not that simple? Surely if the massive US debt is not covered by the reserve, then that’ll be problematic? There’s probs a reason why it hasn’t been audited since the 70s 🤔😎

Last time I was in Mexico, they'd apparently banned vaping. So I had to buy a disposable at the hotel, all under the counter n shit. They didn't have tobacco flavour, just weird fruit shit or mint. I went for the mint. Just found it in the 'special draw' Tastes like Mr Creosote's insole.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

The notion that Ukraine should have held elections when a large chunk of its population were under enemy control and it has troops at the front line… …is so farcical that I’m surprised Russia had the balls to push it. That Trump didn’t comprehend the simple dynamics of it… less so. 💁🏻‍♂️

There are many disturbing clips from Musk's CPAC event. But the DUMBEST thing he said is actually this. He demeans Ukrainians' sacrifice because "the line of enagagement hasn't moved". This 'genius' doesn't even get what a heroic feat it is to HOLD THE LINE against the immense Russian war machine.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.
