We need to get money out of politics. Let's start with Elon Musk. Full story in reply.

Terri White, "The reality is, we have seen negative consequences (from Brexit)" "(Rejoiing the EU) will give us flexibility in terms of trade, skills" "And this is how young people, especially young working class people, used to experience the world"

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

This morning on BBC Breakfast, Nigel Farage said he had received “zero help from the state” with his security. Yet reports say he had previously received publicly funded protection and was offered a taxpayer-funded package including a bodyguard, a secure car and a trained driver.

I saw Musk, Alex Gibney's documentary, yesterday afternoon. This is easily the most important documentary of the last decade. Watching it reminded me that over the last decade, exactly two publications have done a stand-up job of covering Musk: WSJ and Wired. The balance of US media has been AWOL.

Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.” Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.

Farage tying himself in angry knots here ... as he refuses to answer the basic question: Is it racist to call Kemi Badenoch a "Nigerian scammer"?

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

Exilenova+ has updated its assessment of the October 23 attack on Russia’s Baltimore airbase in Voronezh: two missiles reportedly struck the runway, but the aircraft were likely moved out of danger before the strike. #Russia

I have been detained by Israeli security forces all day. Along with with MPs Clive Lewis, Lara Bird, MSP Kate Nevans, former MP Sam Tarry and campaigners from across the world, we were turned back because they don’t want anyone seeing their ethnic cleansing.

It's not just about climate chaos. It's also about landscape chaos. The damage we do to the land's hydrology is layered on top of the damage we do to the atmosphere. Our mismanagement of land commits us to a cycle of flood and drought. We can change this, as explained here. Please read. Thanks.

Imagine being from Britain and accusing the EU of neoliberalism and austerity without even a hint of self-awareness lol.

Admidst their internal party politics, Labour have done nothing to redress how Cameron stuffed the BBC full of right-wing political bias. They have done nothing to effect proper #MediaReform. They have not instigated #Leveson2. Shocking dereliction of duty.

Ah ok, here's one. And I think this is the only possible heart of a campaign that would win over both the UK and Brussels, as it would have to do. bsky.app/profile/iand...

The short version is, be careful of discussing what you don't want because that just looks like exceptionalist UK all over again. Which is true, and all the more reason why the absence of pro-EU voices making strong pro-EU arguments is even more striking.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

"We should (have) some sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts too. Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes." For anyone watching and understanding Ukraine's years-long struggle for survival, the words of SpaceX founder Elon Musk ring with deep moral bankruptcy.

Russian ballistic missiles struck campus territory, a park and a metro station. There are killed and wounded. Russian terror is constant, they are killing people daily. Ukraine needs air defense!
