The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.

A study at U Mass Amherst finds that Elon Musk manipulated Twitter to bolster the voice of the Neo Nazi Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) before the German 2025 parliamentary elections. No surprises here. groups.cs.umass.edu/equate-ml/20...

“.. US stocks outperforming the rest of the world has been one of the strongest investing themes for years. It peaked in December 2024, right after Trump's win.” - @weisenthal.bsky.social

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

Putin is absolutely humiliating Trump and showing the world that he has no respect for this joke of a man. How the US came to be seen as so weak in such a short time is insane to watch.

Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.

After Republican Thom Tillis criticized the ICE killings in Mineapolis, Trump called Thom Tillis a “loser”. His response is epic:

The only thing hotter than gold right now is measles.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

“The brave men and women of ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol are doing their best to carry out these executions in a safe and professional manner,” said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

Anyone surprised by this story has been living in a fantasy world. Since Jan 2025, the Trump administration has been using lots of different tactics to force Ukraine to commit strategic suicide. This is just the latest. The real story is that people have not grasped this reality.

Further to the post of January 22: This elegant chart from John Authers shows the extent to which markets have priced out any rate cuts until the scheduled change in Fed chair in May. #economy #markets #fedralreserve

Hang Trump around their neck. Let the Germans see that electing AfD is making Germany a vassal of the USA. Make Trump their kryptonite

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Text of the video posted by Mac Randolph “Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point.”

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Viewer discretion advised: the clearest view of the ICE execution of Alex Pretti clearly proving the Trump administration lies

Trump’s polls are in the toilet, he was a laughingstock at Davos, forced to surrender on Greenland, nobody wanted to join his Bored of Peace club, late-night comics are picking on him, Gavin is stalking him, Melania sleeps in a separate house, & nobody will give him real prizes.

The last few days have provided Europeans with an important lesson on how to handle Trump. Don't beg, don't bluster, but do use the leverage you have to impose costs of him for his reckless behavior. European Greenland actions should inform their Ukraine policy. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I.e: we can bribe trump with USD 1bn to get access to the rest of the funds to rebuild the areas we genocided and occupy in Ukraine

"It is now a matter of consensus among historians that the inability of American news media including the New York Times to fully acknowledge Donald Trump's cognitive collapse is one of several key reasons why the America Crisis culminated with the break-up of the United States...."

Without America, "right now, you'd all be speaking German" Trump tells an audience in Switzerland.

Instead of closing down energy plants we're opening them up *next sentence* We're closing down energy plants

Look at this and reconsider Trump’s claim that Putin wouldn’t have dared to invade if Trump were president. He clearly would have. Putin isn’t afraid of Trump because Trump is weak and compromised

Stephen Miller and JD Vance are inseparable from President Donald Trump at Davos this year. Constantly tightly flanked by his two closest advisors, he’s sporting a fashionable new pair of sunglasses and looking healthier than ever

Our leaders are failing us by using Twitter/X/GROK as their primary platform

This is the absolutely correct approach, and while one can think that this has taken too long to materialize, the fact that it is is encouraging

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump). www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-ch...

Tell you what. Not a great time to be a mid-sized nation going it alone

This “Board of Peace” thing is shady as hell. Trump wants countries to cough up $1 billion for a permanent seat at the table. He also wants to personally oversee billions tied to Gaza reconstruction. That alone should end the conversation.

Make him famous and boycott his products.

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

“Climate change is here. We are seeing event classes [today] that were forecast in climate models for the 2050s, 2060s, and 2070s.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/c...

This is a sign of ethical collapse. Trump has forced this brave person to debase herself--with gold trimming.

The deal has kick-started the president’s controversial plan to sell up to 50mn barrels of Venezuelan oil, with more sales expected in the ‘coming days and weeks’. ft.trib.al/a2pf6om

I have been on and off been skeeting in Norwegian and English. Gonna keep this account in English, and have added an account for Norwegian skeets (and themes): @heszleinnw.bsky.social

Comrade Krasnov is still not on the side of the free world, in case anybody wondered

Trump has made the Ukraine war worse and probably made it last longer

1/EU grovels as Greenland tries to assert itself. This is not how you project strength. But how you become a vassal. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Just so we're clear: @economist.com has maintained a special account (which they pay thousands of dollars to Musk for a gold tick) on the sexual abuse software they're describing in their article They have 25.7 million followers: nearly every post from the last 24hrs has 0-5 RTs.

This is pretty effective messaging

🧵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

As long as the US does not ask Denmark for additional bases in Greenland and keeps the old bases shut down, any talk of national security by Trump is simply a lie and an imperialist excuse

In a democracy we the voters need to take responsibility for who we vote for. The same is true for the media we use. No one should be on X. No one should be treating corrupt journalists as if they were honest. Boycott bent media.

We can handle Russia without the US. The US cannot handle China without us. #NATO
