Elon Musk's pinned tweet right now.

From United Humanists on FB

Musk threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign the minerals deal - that’s extortion. If Starlink is used as a foreign policy tool to undermine European security, it should be banned from the EU market, says Janis Kluge from the German Institute for international and Security Affairs.

Why is this not on every UK news channel this morning?

She was ahead of the game👍 youtu.be/SeD3SLO7LiY?...

Trump is abandoning Europe. Europe should abandon its appeasement of Israel. Could Israel operate with the same impunity if Europe finally tempered its vital support? I doubt it www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/trum...

Canadian Forests are being burned for biomass or flushed down the toilet. Labour have pledged BILLIONS in subsidies to Drax, the dirtiest power station in the UK. actionnetwork.org/forms/step-u... Charmin Toilet Paper is destroying caribou habitat www.thepetitionsite.com/en-gb/478/87...

Just sending a massive FUCK YOU to all the pieces of shit who scapegoat immigrants

I grew up in a military family. There are tons of military spouses who are probationary federal workers because of moving every 2-3 years. They're now getting mass fired despite Trump's own EO in 2018 to get more military spouses working for the federal government. He's screwing military families.

It's not just Rachel Reeves who exaggerated her experience & qualifications - Labour’s Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds is under investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority for saying he 'worked as a solicitor' - he was only ever a trainee. www.legalfutures.co.uk/latest-news/...

Leaseholders in my constituency were promised that, under a Labour government, things would change. They are still waiting. I have written to Angela Rayner to ask when my constituents will be free from this outdated and exploitative system once and for all.

Trump accuses federal workers of “playing golf.” He spent the last three weekdays golfing.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

There's a common path in the development of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, regardless of whether they are overseen by Catholic Inquisitors, Protestant enforcers, monarchists, fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists .... First they eliminate words. Then they eliminate people.

Short of money Rachel Reeves? Nationalise energy now. Then we all win.

It’s weird that KF can do a whole long read on #NHSadmin /NHS communications being insufficiently joined up (true, obv) without mentioning a) much of it has been outsourced (Capita etc) b) much of the rest got dumped on clinical staff to do as admin teams & office space slashed in “lean” reforms?

make the hurt financially!

NEVER HAVE WE EVER... The Senate has confirmed Kash -- Enemies List -- Patel as FBI (Gestapo) Dir by a vote of 51:47 Trump's previous nominee Chris Wray was confirmed 92:5 Obama's nominee Comey confirmed 93:1 Bush's nominee Mueller confirmed 98:0 --- Patel is Trump's Heinrich Müller

It turns out that neither Musk nor Trump bothered to check that the money went not to REUTERS a news outlet, but THOMSON REUTERS SPECIAL SERVICES a cyber security firm, "to provide cyber DEFENSE AGAINST "large scale social deception." via The Trumpland Diary www.facebook.com/TrumplandDia...

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Since putting up this crowdfunding page, the Daily Mail has sent us, through their lawyers (RPC), two defamation threats. A few points about them. 🧵 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

I don't think people really get how these employee purges are just going to break the culture of public organizations for a very long time.

Having gotten everything they've ever wanted and the largest majority since Blair, you'd think that grazing single-figure popularity and the prospect of coming third in a three way race behind an unreconstructed fascist party would prompt some sober contemplation. And yet, only more buffoonery.

The insanity continues…

Liberals are not a resistance force. They’re still class traitors. They fight to uphold the same exact capitalist system, the same institutionalized racism. Voting blue no matter who is what got us into this perpetual cycle of choosing evils. Libs aren’t ready yet to actually be the resistance.

accurate! 🤣

The government is looking at another benefit crackdown when it should, instead, be looking at corporate fraud and its own failure to pay all the benefits owing to people. Why has it got its focus so wrong? Does it just hate people on benefits? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Liberals fight socialists and communists harder than they ever fought their own leaders or the chuds. There’s no fkn contest here. The libs wanna be called “the left” as all they do is fight the actual left.

Remember this? Has Nige buggered off to the US yet? And why not?

Trump has so many fascist, pro capitalist and Zionist people in his administration. If liberals wanted to be the opposition party they simply should be antifascist, anti Zionist and pro socialist - but instead they have fascists, Zionists and pro capitalists….as they call this a “democracy.”

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

At last some good news: JD Vance says US will only be friends with countries that share Donald Trump's values. Everyone who doesn't fancy the clammy embrace of a dead-eyed fascist rapist will be heartily relieved. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

In other words: stuff all the people who have died in this war, shut up and give us your mineral wealth. US Govt Ghouls.

🚨1 in 3 children living in deep poverty are migrant children. This is not a coincidence. Hostile immigration policies drive migrant families into poverty. Tell this Government to protect EVERY child from poverty. Take action: act.praxis.org.uk/email-minist...

Angela Rayner - don't let new data centres cause water shortages! www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

It's abundantly clear what the NHS needs: 1) adequate funding so we have adequate staffing 2) an end to profiteering privatisation, and 3) liveeable wages to stem the haemorrhaging of staff

A UBI pilot could be about to help hundreds of homeless people in Greater Manchester Academics at Northumbria University and campaigners from the @ubilabmanchester.bsky.social @ubilabnetwork.bsky.social have launched a groundbreaking pilot in Manchester. www.thecanary.co/long-read/20...

Child Poverty % Denmark 2.4% Finland 3.2% Norway 3.6% Sweden 3.6% The UK 32.1%

How can @bbcr4today do an entire item about keeping NHS data private without telling people the horse has already bolted. Never mentioned that the government, despite protest & huge concerns, sold our NHS data to US firm Palantir, formerly run by Musk’s mate, Peter Thiel www.bmj.com/content/386/...

There's a lot of talk about AI robbing creatives of their livelihood. But it doesn't stop there, if you work in a call centre, accounting, content development or any other at risk career, you are just as fucked and everyone should be just as concerned for your welfare.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Riddle me this why is it we can give £3bn to one failing Water Company to keep it going for another 6 months. But we need to take £3bn off Disabled People. Surely it should be the other way around?

Don't know why people are upset about Stumpet calling himself 'King'. It has worked in the UK for centuries. Still does.
