Donald Trump has abandoned the Western order, turning America into a Russian ally, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues: theatln.tc/fC0XMlGu

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

There is, writes @davidfrum.bsky.social, an "implicit quid pro quo in these lucrative deals offered to Trump’s family and friends: If you compel Ukraine to surrender, we will enrich you beyond reckoning" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Always, always meet your heroes. 💙

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children www.propublica.org/article/dona...

Moscow doesn’t want a conventional war—but it is busy fighting a hybrid one, Andrew Ryvkin argues:

"Against Canada, Trump is fighting a trade war that very few Americans support, under leadership that most Americans reject, to achieve results that virtually all Americans would dismiss as pointless if not crazy" Read David Frum: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Sleepy Don dozing off again in public in the middle of the afternoon at Lindsey’s service.

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

NEW On Monday, the father of murdered teenager Henry Nowak asked for restraint: " We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension.” Hours later, Elon Musk and America's far-right were exploiting the death to push anti-white racism www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

Here’s just one detail from @thenerve.news #HarborneReceipts timeline. On the *exact same day* Christopher Harborne gives Reform £3m, Nigel Farage says Reform will lift cap on stablecoin ownership. Where does Christopher Harborne’s money come from, you ask? Stablecoins!

The IRS has agreed to not audit Trump's taxes. But in 2024, a @propublica.org @nytimes.com investigation found that a long-running audit involved Trump allegedly claiming the same huge write-off twice on a Chicago tower. That audit could've led to a tax bill of $100M for Trump. (From May 2024)

No modern president has glorified violence as much as this one

Americans must not shrug off Donald Trump’s latest social-media implosion—too much is at risk to keep dismissing his dysfunction, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

Viktor Orbán's defeat came thanks to a broad, diverse, and patriotic grassroots movement—and shatters the assumption of inevitability that has pervaded illiberal movements across the globe, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. Read more: theatln.tc/CPvne6uz

Another beautiful Easter message from the President who loves Jesus with all his heart and soul.

Bruce and the band opened the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour in Minneapolis with the Motown classic "War" and "Born in the U.S.A." — a one-two punch that was live streamed on Bruce's social media for the first time, appearing here with a new audio mix by Chiller Sound.

Can you imagine how many people approved it before publishing? Shameful.

Trump has insulted and tariffed his European allies, persuaded Denmark to prepare for a US invasion and, by pressuring Ukraine and not Russia, encouraged Putin to keep fighting. All of which he has forgotten. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

So far in the past year, Trump has either fired, pulled the nominations, or had resignations for the following positions: AG - twice (Gaetz & Bondi) DHS NSA FEMA UN Ambassador NASA Border Patrol BLS Surgeon General IRS CDC Dep FBI Dir Multiple US Attorneys Asst Sec of State

That’s one hell of a cover…..

PM of Poland

Basically Trump decided to cause chaos, mayhem, death, destruction, disruption, dissension, depletion of resources, & decades of hatred and mistrust from friends and foe in the Middle East and beyond, then walk away while telling the world he expects them to clean up his mess.

@ronanhession.bsky.social Panenka everywhere this week. Presume you knew he played for (the other) Bohemians?

NEW Stewart Lee column 🔥 Has Trump somehow gone beyond language as we know it and stumbled on the word of the year? He has managed to describe exactly how the Trump-driven news cycle is making me feel. We’re all being mutilized!!! 🔗⬇️

At least some Americans are benefiting from Trump’s Iran War.

Big week for Military Industrial Complex executives and investors. Lots of people about to make a lot of money off American taxpayers from Trump’s Iran War.

The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

On the one hand, the Trump administration is telling Europeans to take care of their own defense. On the other hand, they are supporting leaders and parties who are pro-Russian, opposed to European unity and don't want Europe to defend Ukraine or anything else. Which is the policy?

Since the start of Donald Trump’s second term, Republicans have deployed ever more Nazi imagery and rhetoric, and espoused ideas associated with the Nazi Party, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. He examines how this dark fringe reached the center of the GOP:
