True in 1938 Still true in 2026 National govts spend money into existence They do not spend 'taxpayer dollars'

Fintan O'Toole: Kushner’s political and financial relationship with the UAE’s president, Mohammed bin Zayed ...constitutes what must surely be the worst case of US foreign policy being conducted outside the law and democratic oversight since the Iran-contra scandal...

Teenagers in Texas dressing as the KKK for Halloween and shouting the N word at black people. This is the racist hellhole that people like Trump and his MAGA scum encourage

New interview! “All these horrific global crises — Epstein, Trump’s illicit ties to Russia, Netanyahu’s War on Iran — can be traced to the 1980s and to transnational criminal actors linked to Iran-Contra. The only big change is digital tech and oligarchs like Musk." www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lLW...

Note that they don't ask WHY... Since 2017, Kushner was my litmus test as to whether the US was an entrenched mafia state. There is less difficulty in removing his influence than with Trump, who was "elected". If you follow Kushner's networks, old and new, you get a partial answer as to why.

"The litmus test of whether the US is an entrenched mafia state has always been Kushner." Full article: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-end-of...

Brazil’s Lula Wins Record Fourth Term President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career.…

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Voters are pissed and showing up! Republicans thought they could redraw the maps, rig the odds, and coast to victory. Instead, they’re scrambling to save seats they thought were in the bag.

Pedos are so hard to get into the bong. 🫤

I am Jewish. My grandparents were Jews who escaped the Holocaust. Pogroms were a common practice, ethnic cleansing too, and they managed to escape before the Holocaust. Most of their family members are dead, we’re a broken family tree with missing spots. I support Palestine BECAUSE I am Jewish.

25 years ago today, the PATRIOT Act became law. This Act has let the U.S. government spy on its population, detain people indefinitely, and enforce a huge surveillance apparatus against the American people.

He is so close to getting it

Absolutely!

The Amazon rainforest can’t exactly speak but if it could we all know it would be saying “thank you.” Also Zionism lost!! 👍

The best way to stimulate the economy is to increase the money in poor peoples pockets. He should increase the personal allowance to restore its value in real terms to before it was frozen by the tories. It is an absolute disgrace that a Labour government has maintained their freeze. Raise it now.

'There is no plan. The National Grid is already failing to take advantage of renewables. The Grid was designed for the coal age, and has been so badly developed and maintained for our changing modern world, it is now dysfunctional.' John Warren, via Bella Caledonia

AI companies say their products can cure cancer, take us to Mars, but apparently not respect the copyright of artists and creators... that just doesn't add up. Maybe the Minister isn't afraid but artists and others are!

“How do you tastefully satirise someone’s vaginal prolapse? You don’t”💥 Monique Ryan rips shreds off Pauline Hanson for attacking her rivals with violent & misogynistic cartoons. Says it’s time media stop ‘giving a public voice’ to someone who spreads so much negative trash.💯

This is true. Qatar is widely believed to be the biggest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Well done, Brazil! 👏 If @andyburnham.bsky.social had had any 'Labour' values, any 'left wing' policies - any sense at all of how the nation feels, he'd have come into office saying something similar. Instead the UK has more neoliberalism, more policies influenced by big companies + foreign powers🤬

Michaelia Cash tries to smear young First Nations leader Ethan Floyd over his Young People's Award nomination—for daring to challenge NSW’s proposal to ban phrase globalise the intifada & trying to provide aid to Gaza from a flotilla. Blatant political bullying. Shameful.

Family and federal court transcripts appear to have been sent offshore by transcription company VIQ, and whistleblowers raised the alarm over a decade ago. At Estimates today I asked the AG’s Department which agencies were exposed and they couldn’t tell me. We need a full audit.

WHO ELSE AGREES?! 🤚✨

We are now at the point where Trump is comparing the asses of Jon Husted and Nicki Minaj.

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

The kids are alright!!! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

TAKE. IT. BACK.

He never read past the cover.

European Freedom Of Expression

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

Obama: What about drain the swamp? The only thing they drained was the Reflecting Pool!

Obama: We've got a U.S. ambassador shaking down a donor to pay off her $100,000 credit card bills. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid one of Trump's personal lawyers $50 million. We have never seen a president excel in straight-up grifting like this.

Putting up signs and notes at an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington. More chaotic good please… Thanks
