💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

I think Musk is the kryptonite. No one likes him. I don’t think even Trump, or a good portion of Trumpers, like him. Focus all the negative messaging on him, channel the negative coverage on him. As an added bonus he is super insecure and fragile and he will lose his mind

Labour MPs pressure Starmer to call out Trump's Gaza remarks as 'ethnic cleansing' 'Either you stand for international law and basic human decency, or you don’t,' says Clive Lewis after President proposes 'takeover' inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

The fact that Gaza is in ruins with 62k+ civilians killed - including 19k+ children - is both an undeniable heinous atrocity and an abject failure of world leadership. That Trump and his cronies see the Gaza situation as a business opportunity underpinned by American imperialism is disgusting.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics. What a tragically stupid country we are.

Some good news for a change…👇 Pay ATTENTION, now!

The worst people in the world.

A time for ‘a look inward’, if ever there was one…👇 Thanks Canada, for a reminder that needs to be said, out loud! Introspection. Defined. ✨

Huge anti Trump protests in Los Angeles today. ❤

Help Wanted. 👇

This asshole could have ended it all by voting to convict and remove. He can fuck off with this late stage bullshit.

Another FBI leader standing up for the rule of law “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy." James Dennehy, FBI NY Field Office

This is so seriously messed up

Canadians are mad enough to drown puppies.

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

The Reviews Are In! 👀 “Grotesque & Outrageous” “Downright Disgusting” “Disgraceful” “Absolutely Shameful” “Despicable” “Racist & Sexist” “A Betrayal” “Monstrous” “Simply UnAmerican” “Craven” “Pathetic” “Absolutely Vile” “What A Horrible Pathetic Little Man!” #EmbarrassmentInChief 😩 bit.ly/3PZ2H4j

Food for thought…

Hedge funds are betting big that the stock market is going to suffer a devastating crash due to Donald Trump. Data from Goldman Sachs is sending shockwaves through financial circles, revealing a dramatic surge in 'short' positions against US stocks.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.

Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't. "I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage … and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett continues to be on 🔥 #ResistTrump

here's today's post: "imbecile guts air safety, then demands to know why a plane crashed" — management-by-vendetta sure is working out swimmingly. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

EU medicines agency quits X & moves to Bluesky "EMA will no longer post updates and content on X. We believe the X platform no longer suits our communication needs” the agency said in a statement www.reuters.com/world/europe...

After MAGA granny’s refusal of a J6 pardon comes this guy. Riddle said he’s a recovering alcoholic who did “stupid things” that day and got “involved with the wrong people.” https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/23/metro/nh-man-declines-trump-jan-6-pardon/

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies. Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption. Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025. Keep paying attention. wapo.st/3Cptwvg

Trump's mass pardoning of the convicted insurrectionists keeps coming into my thoughts for two reasons, i) it fundamentally undermines law enforcement and the American legal system, and ii) it reinforces the widely held belief that he encouraged and endorsed the insurrection. Impeachment evidence?

Europe has a message for Elmo.

The same MAGA idiots who voted for the grab em by the pussy sexual abusing felon who calls women dogs & his opponents vermin, would like me to be “nicer” when I post about how dumb they are for electing the drink bleach guy because he’s taken a motherf’ng sledgehammer to our nation’s public health.

feels like at this point the entire Trump administration could carve swastikas into their foreheads and the media would be all 'let's not rush to judgement'

“It is alarming that the government is happy to negotiate with China but won’t even look at a better trading arrangement with our closest neighbours in Europe. This is an act of economic negligence” Ed Davey www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/econom...

Big Oil spent ~$100 million to boost Trump in 2024. This fell short of the $1 billion he asked for, but it's already paying dividends. Trump loaded his cabinet with Big Oil lackeys, withdrew from the Paris Agreement, and moved to expand drilling in Alaska. Follow the money.

just wait until Donald Trump finds out how cold it is in Greenland

They’re making some changes at the White House.
