The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Kash Patel, Director of the FBI, finishes with a message to Charlie Kirk: ‘see you in Valhalla’. The United States is so deep in a sort of violent cult, it’s difficult to see if they can get out.

Anti-Islamic biker gang members run security at deadly Gaza aid sites www.bbc.com/news/article... I read this with utter disbelief. But maybe I should stop being so surprised.

It’s time to use the f-word. Trumpism is fascism. The essence of fascism is in place. See the list 👇 All that’s needed to complete the fascist ascent are; - territorial aggression - the concentration of power in one individual or tight cabal. And these are emerging by the day

It seems to me that most world leaders have not got a clue how to build peace. And for those who think we need to learn history so we do not make the mistakes of the past, well, I think that theory is blown to bits.

expectation versus reality

The USA is getting exactly what it voted for, not a government but a soap opera.

It is worrying that there are very few people on the media questioning the idea that war is inevitable. No one seems to think about deescalation.

Best worst season ever.

Oxford English dictionary definition of the word holocaust: 'The complete destruction of something (esp. a large number of people); a mass slaughter, a massacre.'

Very taken by Dan Hicks argument that we should stop using the term ‘post’-colonial since Colonialism clearly is not over.

youtu.be/GqP4zwbZxoU?... everyone should listen to this. No one will be able to claim they didn’t know it was happening. It will be our duty to hold the military and politicians of Israel and our own countries to account.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Utterly predictable to anyone who knows the history of British forces in Northern Ireland. In Iraq and Afghanistan the role of Australian and US forces were no better. This is one of the reasons millions of us protested about these wars.

There are a lot of people commenting on Kneecap who seem to be wilfully or blissfully unaware of what exits on the streets of Northern Ireland all over the place and throughout the year.

@aiannucci.bsky.social … you are scripting US politics. You must be. There is no other rational explanation.

Utterly abominable that we need this, but we absolutely do www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

On the last Friday of every month cyclists in Belfast take part in a critical mass event. It is great fun and enormously empowering. If only the Department of Infrastructure could create infrastructure that makes us feel safe all the time. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social @deptinfra.bsky.social

Critical Mass gathers for another night of music and cycling on the streets of Belfast. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social

Well played.

Keep on rocking in the free world. ✌️ m.neilyoungarchives.com/news/4/artic...

Liz Truss has clearly had greater influence in the US than we realised.

The cycling infrastructure in Belfast is terrible. In north Belfast it is nonexistent. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social @deptinfra.bsky.social @belfasttelegraph.co.uk

Can confirm!

Critical Mass in Belfast last night. All ages gather for a mass cycle ride around the streets. You should try it. Last Friday of every month.

Today on Dock Street, Belfast.

You mate are a top bloke 🤘🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 He chose to do this. Yet there are those with so much more in the world who choose not to help their fellow men, women and everyone in between. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dock Street in Belfast. The cycle route is routinely blocked by one of these monsters. There is a lorry park 50 meters away.

One more time for the people in the back.

www.bbc.com/news/article.... Please Please Please… not another museum on soldiers and war. Is Belfast not drowning in a culture of militarisation? Where is the museum too our industrial history and the lives of ordinary people?

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?
