Well that’s my mind made up. Was on the fence*, but based on Mark Kermode’s excellent and unflinching review here I’m not buying a ticket to go and see Melania. *I wasn’t on the fence. I wasn’t even in the same field as the fence.

This is 100% perjury. The idea that the Treasury Secretary doesn't know anything about one of the most important figures in crypto facilitating a giant bribe to Trump and then getting pardoned is laughable. He would literally be the only person in the finance world who didn't know about it.

For the n-teenth time - Do not use Amazon.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

it's crazy to see your long held hypothesis about the modern american right wing—something you've ranted irl and written 10,000 pointless screeds over online, this website included—to literally be notarized by literally the world's foremost infamous pedophile billionaire rapist.

This is becoming a critical election for control of the left bloc samf.substack.com/p/whats-the-...

Why is Mandleson not in handcuffs already?

I'm late to this but what on earth were Question Time doing putting Konstantin Kisin on the show? These are not serious people. They're controversialists-for-cash. The whole business model is to say increasingly outrageous things for the coverage and clicks. Next week: Lucy White.

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

Palantir’s stated mission is to defend America. Peter Thiel is a radical libertarian who does not believe ‘freedom & democracy are compatible’. Yet, the UK is overwhelmingly dependent on Palantir’s services. As a national security threat, this is off the charts. @thenerve.news 2/

More craven cowardice from the BBC. We've all seen the videos; we all know that Noem's account of the Pretti shooting is a lie. Why can't they just say that? Why try to maintain this ridiculous position of 'balance', giving equal weight to both sides. It's morally repugnant.

Increasing the use of facial recognition, which has been proven to be both unreliable and racist, while introducing notoriously inaccurate generative AI into police admin, sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, and an excellent turnkey fascist tool.

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

One of the hardest things to reconcile right now is knowing that my dad, and my two siblings, voted for him. Three times. And I haven’t heard a peep of concern, let alone regret, about any of this.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

Listen to this. Trump, Putin, Palantir and the British state. We have to name it to fight it. open.spotify.com/episode/68mC...

People all over the world who value democracy and oppose fascism should stop buyIng US products. Starting with the UK government, which is planning to pay the sinister big-tech surveillance company Palantir hundreds of millions of pounds.

Am beyond furious at the BBC bothsiding the latest murder on American streets. There isn't a "war of words" or "finger pointing". Watch the fxxxing videos. One side is fxxxing lying. This is shameful

Transforming the Twin Cities into a state of exception is a revolutionary act. Assembling a paramilitary to impose such a revolution by force is treason. It’s straightforward analysis. What’s hard is accepting such an action can be conducted so openly without anyone making it for what it is.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

From his colleague . . .

I think it's important to boost news of the general strike in Minneapolis today and it's possible to do it without the hyperbole that nobody in the media is covering it It may not be getting the attention it deserves! Posting links to reported stories is one way to combat that!

Hereditary peer gets told :

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES 🗣️

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Nutser and nutser it goes...

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever: “People want to join the EU. Nobody wants to join China. No neighbour of the US says, “We want to join the United States.” Nobody wants to. “They want to join the European Union just because we have respect. We have the rule of law. We do speak softly.”

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Palantir was a warning sign. Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment. All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Here's the thing about the DfE idea that 'training is the answer' to SEND. It implies that once again the issue lies with teachers and not with the system itself. A way of papering over the cracks rather than admitting that the system needs rethinking if it's ever going to be properly inclusive.

Holy hell, what an obituary

Reminder that in the UK an incoming radical, populist government would have immediate access to immense, unchecked executive power. And the current government is doing nothing to protect us from that.

This is not going to work. Jenrick and Farage are going to kill each other. It's going to be very funny.

Stroud Times using a ChatGPT image of Tricorn House to illustrate their article and attributing it to their reporter is a new low in photojournalism. What's the point in local press if it's not even honest or correct?

Again, I’m going to keep banging the lonely drum that the fact that we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations, poses a massive threat to national security & world order, & should immediately end this presidency.

This is a very important video to watch. Thank you Ashley the Barroness. One comment from IG was America isn’t becoming Germany. America is becoming America. That really hit home for me. Watch this! Be uncomfortable.

🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero 1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system 2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free 3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us" 4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous 5) That's it! 1/10

Jerome Powell responds to Trump’s criminal investigation of him.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

ICE only has about 20-30,000 employees nationwide. Including desk jobs so there's even fewer armed. It's smaller than the NYPD. There's a reason they do their mega raids on one or two cities at a time, and it's not optics. It's because that's all the dudes they've got. Something to keep in mind.

“God damn them all.”

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

If Trump is so pleased that Venezuelan will buy ‘only American-made goods’ we know how to hit him right? Stop buying American made goods.

"We’re talking about World War One size armies here" "You’d be looking at some kind of aggressive recruitment - conscription, who knows?" How exactly are the UK government planning to supply the troops promised to Ukraine? @jonsopel1.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com
