How Australia's richest person, Gina Rinehart, is pushing the MAGA agenda through her stooge Hanson. Like the MAGA leadership, Rinehart does not care about core values of Hanson's base. Rinehart cares about tax cuts for billionaires. Hanson is a means to that end www.facebook.com/share/p/1FHL...

Hugely inspiring keynote from Malati Wijsen on youth activism and change-making at #Digifest26 With everything going on in the world, it's important to ground ourselves, focus our passions and work across generations to affect positive change

Hegseth wants to use AI for autonomous kenetic operations... in other words, to allow machines to acquire targets and engage with lethal force. What could possibly go wrong?

The Trojan Seahorse is coming to a port near you. WTAF is Krasnov up to this time?

Greenland does not need medical assistance from other countries, Denmark's defence minister said, after US President Donald Trump claimed he was sending a hospital ship to the autonomous Danish territory.

Today the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Doomsday clock was reset to 85 sec to midnight; the closest it's every been. Said President and CEO Alexandra Bell, "A shift towards neo-imperialism and an Orwellian approach to governance will only serve to push the clock toward midnight."

Benjamin Franklin's famous quote is, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety".

This was the guy who was savagely beaten about the head with a metal cannister and then shot repeatedly by ICE gestapo today. That's not a gun in his hand. They murdered him. For filming. They murdered him

Last year the Doomsday Clock moved the closest to midnight in its 78 years. But with Krasnov openly admitting he's not interested in peace, massive defunding of science, and his climate denial policies, how close will Putin’s orange sock puppet push us to midnight when the clock resets next Tuesday?

Krasnov demanded a new portrait be hung in the Smithsonian as part of a revisionist history exercise. Like the picture of Dorian Gray, may it expose his twisted, blackened soul for all to see

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social has done an amazing job curating this list of the worst of Krasnov and his regime as he quashes democracy and revels in the suffering of others. Keep this list somewhere safe. Exhibit A

I'm neither a US citizen, nor do I live there. But this ☝️is why understanding and fighting authoritarian control is crucial for outsiders. This is why we need to stand up to bullies, and why we need to disentangle ourselves from US dependency

Dave Keating@davekeating.substack.com

The outrageous sanctioning of EU lawmakers and citizens in order to pressure democratically-elected European governments to change their laws shows just how intent the US government is on controlling Europeans' lives. We must go into 2026 with eyes open.

The Trump administration is censoring information. If you come across something before it’s censored, save it, download it, print it. Thank you to everyone preserving and sharing records, the censored Epstein files, and to Canada for helping us access Inside CECOT. Don’t let censorship win.

Where is file EFTA00000468.PDF? This has not been redacted, it has been *deleted*. Is evidence tampering still a felony charge, or has Krasnov fixed that with his magic marker?

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.

A win! The Institute of Museum and Library Services (the federal agency that supports the nation’s libraries) has reinstated thousands of grants that had been canceled by the Trump administration, after a federal judge ruled the executive order mandating those cuts was unlawful.
