If you’re into seeing Elon & DOGE get called out for their lies about *savings* — this account is doing a very nice job of it: x.com/electricfutu...

Love it when bookshops or libraries arrange their books appropriately...

www.nybooks.com/online/2025/... "Democrats have disgraced themselves. They’ve looked terrified and defeated and confused. They’ve hidden behind consultant-devised talking points about grocery prices. They’ve cast votes to confirm Trump’s extremist cabinet nominees." Very good

Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations - a joint statement by Ministers of Foreign Affairs of France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, EEAS, and European Commission. Full text of the statement: "We are ready to enhance our support for Ukraine.

🚨🚨 Absolutely insanely and predictably stupid comment by Donald Trump (obviously we all know Russia invaded Ukraine) but his appeasing of Putin and utter disregard for Ukraine interests should not come as a surprise to anyone. /1

My latest interview @bloomberglp.bsky.social Fed will hike in 2025H2 - unless Trump Admin overdoes tariffs and deportations to cause recession. More likely we get inflation from tax cuts, tariffs, and reduced migration. Thanks @ferrotv.bsky.social @lisaabramowicz.bsky.social x.com/bsurveillanc...

Siri: show me the pic of an unhinged apartheid apologist neonazi.

Cannot bear the gloating fascists and their useful idiots on Twitter. Will leave my account for a bit but will be deleting it permanently. When Musk designed this ugly X symbol my blood curdled. People will die. The breaks are off. It’s full blown fascism.

Fascinating but terrifying on one of the major influencers of the MAGA movement- has many parallels to Hitler and what he did in the 1930s. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Reminder that the estimated cost of extending the Trump tax cuts is at least $5 trillion — more than twice the amount DOGE originally stated it would cut in “wasteful” government spending.

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC

Corporations give money to Trump because they, like him, only care about themselves.

Taking Ivermectin to stop your cancer is like reading poetry to stop your house from burning down.

🧵 I live in Los Angeles. We have not had to evacuate and are safe, but like many people here, I have friends who have lost everything. I realize I can't combat the firehose (see what I did there?) of bullshit spewing about this disaster from internet and media sources, but I'll say this:

I had an insightful conversation covering a range of topics, such as Elon Musk, the russian threat, and US politics, with @davidbwheeler.bsky.social and @moedavis.bsky.social. They are wonderful people! You can listen to our discussion at the link below:

1/10 We are now in 2025, and Ukraine still controls a part of russian territory. What is russia doing, fighting on its own land three years into an invasion it initiated on its own terms and expected to conclude quickly?

Nice quick view on Elon's nerves by @joniaskola.bsky.social have a look: youtu.be/syGKhF3DcuI?...

Former Chief Crown Prosecutor of NW England Nazir Afzal has spoken of 2 grooming gangs, convicted weeks apart in 2013. Only one seemed to stick in public consciousness. These crimes are a male problem, weaponised for their own agenda by the far-right / xenophobes

This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it?

Corea del Nord ha rilasciato annunci multilingue sui nuovi francobolli per il 2025 ma invece di descrivere i francobolli in coreano, cinese e inglese l’annuncio include per la prima volta anche il russo ciò dimostra che Pyongyang sta sottolineando la sua vicinanza a Mosca www.rfa.org/english/kore...

North Korean soldiers were captured in the Kursk region. Exchange fund? 🤣🇰🇵 🤡

Europe’s strength isn’t in endless analysis—it’s in decisive action. Musk’s X feeds on inaction. Time to change the game. Europe, lead boldly. Let’s set the tone for a new era. #XitNow #EuropeUnited #BanXToday

The reason Mr Musk was so aghast that the old Twitter was censoring Nazis was NOT because he despised censorship. He just really likes Nazis. 😃

Elon Musk has admitted a secret mass censorship program to silence and throttle critics on Twitter. We always knew this was happening—it’s been happening to me personally for over a year—but now he’s finally admitted it. Per usual, he’s swearing at those complaining about his grotesque hypocrisy.

Kemi Badenoch, "Perhaps he can show concern for the 1,100 people who found out yesterday that they could lose their jobs at Vauxhaul's plant in Luton" #PMQs Keir Starmer, "The EV mandate was introduced by the last government.. She was the Business Secretary that introduced them"

Jack Smith plans to release his final report on the federal investigations into Trump before Inauguration Day on January 20. It’s expected to detail Smith's findings on key cases, including allegations of election subversion and mishandling of classified documents.

China worries they cannot penetrate Bluesky with propaganda like they can on Facebook and the mElonoma sites. I’m sure Russia feels the same way. We must protect this site at all costs. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

You read all these pieces about what a formidable operator Kemi Badenoch is and then every Wednesday without fail she gets up for PMQs and is laughably shit
