This is beyond fucking despicable. Threatening to shut off Starlink to Ukraine, a raped pillaged country (invaded by a dictator that this headcase and his bitch president refuses to condemn) unless they give up their natural resources is the most grim act of coercion I’ve seen.

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

Cheering the demise of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is like applauding banning of air bags and seat belts, getting giddy over lead being put back in paint and gasoline. It's valuing your irrational hatred of regulations over humans' well being. It is a simple-minded, knee-jerk response.

You probably know what the leader of the far right party Reform looks like (5 MPs) but there is a party with 4 MPs called The Green Party - here are their joint leaders Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsey - just in case you were wondering

Oh dear!

This week the Guardian's owner, the Scott Trust, gifted the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media. This isn't just a dark day for journalism, it's a sign. Meet the team. This is Putin giving Tortoise's energy advisory board member an 'Order of Friendship' medal in 2017. 1/

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

Oooher, that's quite an interesting take on this place. I'll be staying to see how it plays out.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Love how Gregg Wallace is making this worse for himself and destroying his chances of redemption by revealing who he really is, an entitled misogynistic prick. People of all ages can see that. This isn’t a class war, it’s the consequences of your shitty actions, Gregg.

Is Trump surrounding himself with such utter dregs in the vain hope that it might make him look a little less shitty. <update for Donny> it ain't working.

Jared Kushner’s father paid a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, secretly recorded it, and then showed the video to his own sister for revenge & intimidation. He got caught. He admitted it. He got convicted. Trump pardoned him. And today he made him our next Ambassador to France.

We *must* prevent this from happening.

In politics clarity is its own opportunity. The storm of the 2024 election has created great clarity. The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, and 3rd richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, are currently asking a group of Trump judges to end the right to organize & join a union in the United States.
