One of the few things that might actually get some kind of reaction from Musk would be the government and all MPs simply leaving X. This doesn't require regulatory or legal action. There are no barriers. They could *and should* just do it.

Must be a coincidence that they keep ripping off Nazi phrases

The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

There's a saying in Germany: When there are 11 people at the table and one of them is a Nazi and 10 don't speak out, then there are 11 Nazis at the table. I know life is never as easy and clearcut as this, as on a moral level. I just wanted to leave it here.

Trump is probably focused on the money he wrongly thinks he'll make from Venezuelan oil. But he's not a details guy and nobody has thought through the details. Essentially, the US has taken over Venezuela by mistake. Stranger things have happened, but not many. open.substack.com/pub/arthursn...

99% of what you need to understand about the relentless murder of our living planet, in one word: CAPITALISM

This will piss the right wingers off, but I’d say this chap is far more a patriot that the wankers painting roundabouts and hanging flags. What a legend!

His opportunism is bad enough. But never forget that this is the same Nigel Farage who allegedly made hissing noises and whispered "Hitler was right" to a Jewish contemporary at school. Things he has NEVER apologised for.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

I for one will definitely be ignoring pesky health professionals & turning instead to newspaper columnists who backed Brexit, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump & Liz Truss for all my expert health advice during this very serious flu outbreak.

🚨The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has already passed 40,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN And they are all Trump supporters "Liberal media" indeed

This perfectly encapsulates why we need the BBC

See what’s happening. A Trumpist US media company has taken over Channel 5. Another US company is gunning for ITV. Our social media is saturated by Musk’s calls for civil war in the UK. The BBC is the last thing standing, and Trump/Johnson are trying to bring it down

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

I was only 30 something when I helmed The Enterprise.

This is what is happening. It is cynical. It is strategic. It is organised. It is well funded. And we need to pay attention. The far right - and their cheerleaders, mimics, tribute acts, and handmaidens have identified two presentational frameworks that give them cut-through and traction. 1/7

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.
