Just a Geordie trying to make sense of the craziness in the world right now (and try to amplify reasonable / progressive voices). “Why can’t we all just get along?” Pro-Dems. Pro-environment. Be kind. NUFC. #FBPE

Surprising to hear that a government formed exclusively of a country’s most stupid people isn’t really working out.

I feel so frustrated that we are in a situation where needless research that fuels vaccine hesitancy and has already been done extensively could happen- my take on the call to reopen MMR vaccines and autism research- TL: there is NO link 🧪

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

In Trump’s court sycophancy rules, flattery is the only language, loyalty is blind. Criticism is heresy. Debate is apostasy. Expertise is bias. Objectivity and truth are hoax and opinion. Lies are defended as articles of faith. Retribution is policy. @addyspectreai.bsky.social @rachey.bsky.social

The murderous irony of mainstream: The UK is still not ready to protect the population from THIS pandemic! We are still in a pandemic (look up the definition); we still can't cure Covid, Lond Covid still destroys lives, simple mitigations are still effective. www.dumptheguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Keep in mind that RFK receives millions of dollars from a law firm that sues over vaccines.

Wow - the US is literally going backwards in time.

Bad news for Lindt fans.

Fact-check: True

…and nothing on Twitter or MSM..🤯

So, it never was OUR nuclear deterrent!!

Gen Z doesn’t want dictators. They want functioning democracy. A recent poll was widely misinterpreted, fueling unnecessary generational panic. Our research tells a very different story, write @bobbyduffy.bsky.social & @pmorini.bsky.social . From @uk.theconversation.com -- thanks!

“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action. www.salon.com/2025/02/28/a...

I had hoped that my Twitter days were over but now I find myself back there attempting to counter the pro-Putin bots and Trumpian nonsense. Makes me feel I’m helping in my own little way at least but sometimes it seems I’m pushing against the tide. Anyone else feel the same?

Anyone claiming Zelenskyy doesn't want peace is either an idiot or a paid propagandist. Anyone claiming Zelenskyy should accept Trump's terms for peace is also an idiot or a paid propagandist.

Muskrat's gonna love this one.

Facts 👇👇👇

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

If even the Mail is saying it...

Mexico has issued a warning to its citizens asking them not to travel to Texas & 7 states due to a measles outbreak. Mexico’s Health Secretary describes 106 cases of measles in Alaska, California, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Texas. www.borderreport.com/news/health/...

I won’t ever forget the Republicans that stood by him! Will you? 😡😡😡

Some examples of research USGS does that is at risk with RIFs and restructuring: - earth quake and volcano monitoring and warnings - landslide risk assessments - water quality testing - wildlife conservation - wildfire prevention and post-fire rehabilitation - invasive species tracking

Great job people! Foot traffic in Target is down by 3.9%. Over that same time foot traffic at Costco has increased by 4.6%. They are feeling the consequences of their policies & actions! Keep it up!!! Hit them where it hurts the most ! The wallet!💙👍

A Crowd chants "Zelenskyy is a hero" outside of the Tesla Dealership in Manhattan. LFG! ✊🏽

"I can't change our attitude towards the russians.They are our killers. The US is our friend. The EU is our friend. Putin & the russians are enemies. That doesn't mean we don't want peace. We want the real picture to be recognized” I can’t believe there’s people still unable to understand this!

"X" or what we used to call Twitter is nothing more than a right wing and #MAGA disinformation tool designed to influence American and world politics. Your participation in it makes you complicit with #FOTUS and #Musk and can be dangerous to your mental health.

⚡️US halts cyber operations against Russia, media reports. Cybersecurity experts warn that the move benefits one of America's most persistent cyber adversaries, potentially weakening U.S. leverage in both cyber and conventional military operations.

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

The odds not in our favor But—April 1 special elections With 2 seats Democrats TIE the House, —and that kills whatever GOP moves are up for a vote.* Plus, a special election for a third seat is coming up in a few months, and that would make Hakeem Jeffries the Speaker.

Zelensky fact-checked JD Vance in real-time, and repeatedly interrupted Trump’s lies. At the end, Zelensky looked at the press pool and gave a thumbs up with a smile. Zelensky then went on Fox and refused to apologize. Good. Trump is the one who owes an apology—and his resignation—to the world.

I don’t even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.
