Democratic Justice Allison Riggs beat Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin in the race for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court according to the second recount. Officials won't approve a third hand recount. šŸæ

The Tories spaffed over Ā£750 Million on a Rwanda deal that sent ZERO people to Rwandaā€¦ In other news the Metropolitan Police are making big cuts due to a Ā£450 Million shortfall!

As far as I know, this is the first time a Maine outlet has aired the idea that Susan Collins might be culpable for women dying due to the foreseen consequences of ending Roe. From the letters page -- the only place in Maine legacy media you'll find unvarnished discussion of Collins. #mepolitics

šŸšØ BREAKING: Romania's Constitutional Court annuls the results of the first round of the country's presidential election. The decision comes after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence documents alleging Russia was sponsoring a campaign to promote pro-Russia candidate Calin Georgescu.

Elon Musk and other social media owners who deliberately and repeatedly fail to stop dangerous content that threatens civil stability should face criminal charges. Great to discuss the UK far-right riots and how to regulate social media on The Global Gambit. Full video āž”ļø youtu.be/KFXzCbim9ww?...

Bam šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„ Well done Michigan!

If youā€™d told me on Jan 6th 2021 that the man responsible for that horrific attack would end up returning to the office he tried to steal that day, and that heā€™d do so after calling the attackers ā€œheroesā€ & ā€œhostagesā€ he was going to pardon, Iā€™d have thought you were out of your damn mind. And yetā€¦

Covid corruption commissioner starts fraud probe Well I hope he gets a lot of our money back after the Tories and their PPE corruption.. And I also hope some of the profiteering wrong 'uns go to jail Let's see. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Russia: Putin's Federal Protective Service officers, akin to the Secret Service in the US, are working 2nd jobs as taxi and delivery drivers due to low salaries which average ā‚½80,000-ā‚½110,000 ($750-$1,032) per month.

Say whatever you want about the ethics of Biden pardoning Hunterā€” but if you believe that Donald Trump was sitting by waiting for this in order to decide what heā€™d do youā€™re delusional. Trump will always do what he wants, regardless of if he has permission.

I sure wish the media had covered Trump pardoning his co-conspirators and family members the way they're covering Hunter Biden today. They could even do it today. But they won't.

If youā€™re upset about President Biden pardoning his son Hunter, wait until I tell you about the time Trump pardoned his son in lawā€™s hooker hiring daddy and made him ambassador to France.

Itā€™s almost cute listening to the media propound how Hunter Bidenā€™s pardon will somehow provide Trump ā€œcoverā€ for his own moves. They conveniently forget Trumpā€™s pardons of Flynn, Bannon, Manafort and Stone. Whoever Trump pardons in the future, Hunterā€™s situation will have ZERO bearing on them!

Imagine youā€™re an employer and a prospective employee had sexual assault allegations, and you had an email from his mother calling him an ā€œabuser of women.ā€ What would you do? Apparently, many Senate Republicans would make him Secretary of Defense.

ā€œSome 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance taxā€ šŸšœšŸŒ¾ vs. šŸ§šŸ’°

Isnā€™t it funny how the media suddenly stopped talking about high food and gas prices; soaring crime in the suburbs; the migrant invasion; and immigrants eating dogs and cats?

Russia's economy is doomed Vladimir Putin is paying heavily for the illusion of economic success. In the long run, it canā€™t last. By @willdunn.bsky.social www.newstatesman.com/business/eco...

"New net migration figures show that levels are now four times higher than pre-Brexit figures in 2019. In the year to June 2023, numbers rose to more than 900,000."

Victoria Atkins used to be our Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. Honestly, she did. Incredible, isn't it? #bbclaurak

This is terrifying. Donald Trump has nominated Kash Patel to be the new head of the FBI. Patel, like Trump, wants to purge the service & prosecute journalists who helped Joe Biden ā€˜rigā€™ the 2020 election. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/u...

Good Morning friends āœŒšŸ½šŸ’™ Privilege is a quiet illness that weaves its way into our lives. Stay awake šŸ¤ #SheShed

ā€œJust three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulationā€¦ The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of mediaā€ We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

He thought he could throttle our accounts, suppress our posts, force his insane views on us & just get away with it. Boll**** to that. Welcome to BlueSky everyone

What a fucking moron.

The protests continue to grow in Georgia. #Tbilisi today.

I know many of you are scared about the next four years. Know that with this community we are building, we will get through it. And, we will do it together.

Iā€™ve noticed this, too. (Post by @mmpadellan.bsky.social)

Never mind ā€œunbelievableā€, her conduct was ā€œunlawfulā€. Again.

"Lets talk about one of your MPs who was jailed for kicking the shit out of a woman. People are talking about it at home" "I have 1 million Tiktok followers. Now go away!"

For all the trolls swarming around me Iā€™m not Australian (heā€™s the short guy), Iā€™m also not a champagne socialist, I grew up on a council estate, left school with no qualifications, studied Oā€™levels at night, worked my way through law school & when not holding power to account drink beer.

Boris Johnson promised farmers that ā€œsubsidies would stay - 100% guaranteedā€. šŸšœ The National Farmersā€™ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of ā€œRemainā€, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

Historic moment in Allepo now, as the statue of Bassel al-Assad, brother of Putin's puppet Bashar al-Assad is ripped down.

If you donā€™t think this is exactly what weā€™re up against, then you havenā€™t been paying attention.

Says a lot that about 90% of the traffic Iā€™m seeing on X right now is absolutely convinced the British govt is about to embark on a mass programme of state murder of the elderly and vulnerable. What was until recently the town square of politics has become the preserve of the bad, mad and deranged.

Zelenskyy stayed in Ukraine to fight Russia. Assad fled to Russia at the first sign of a fight. #freeSyria #freeUkraine
