That the New York Times refuses to call the Michigan race when the rest of the world has already moved on shows which side their bread is buttered. They’re ringleaders of the ‘rather a Republican than a progressive’ Democrat buyers club.

Right wing British media dipping into the old bucket of anti-semitic tropes as ever. They’ll try anything to protect their billionaire owners from progressive politics, attacking racial and religious groups is standard practice.

Remember: If you are a billionaire, a wealth tax and cap are for your *own protection.* The income tax rate at the end of a pitchfork is 100%.

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

There’s not going to be real midterm elections in the US - ICE will stand at every voting location and no one non-white will show up to vote. Which is Trump’s plan.

Kristi Noem’s statement, Stephen Miller’s statement, Tom Homan’s statement, JD Vance’s…whatever the couchfuck they are,Trump’s posts online; those in powerful positions of American leadership are no different than those who drove the actions seen on the left in this photo. 👇🏼🤬 #NurembergThemAll

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; but for the sound of redacting, agents scrubbing Trump’s crimes, while Trump tweets distractions, far past his bedtime.

NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners. It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

open.substack.comA message to America: we are not your enemyLast night, the US launched an all-out assault on the "global censorship industrial complex", I respond with some deep breaths, solidarity and a vibey video (it's all I have)

Logged into X and it decided the first 20 posts I should see are all from Republican politicians. I’m neither American nor right wing. Elon must have hit the panic button for the algorithm.

Bonus actions are hot garbage that completely fail to fulfill their intended goal. It's OK for me to say this because I was the one that came up with them. I'm not slamming any other designer!

The main argument for a Strategic BItcoin Reserve seems to be that Bitcoin holders worry about an impending shortage of greater fools and need the US government to act as the greatest fool of last resort.

It’s unfortunate that the NJ drones thing has become a joke about mistaken planes on this platform. And insulting to the people directly affected. There’s a real issue with lack of oversight over drones, the FAA is saying it’s not their issue. The FBI and DHS are passing the buck to each other.

Local witnesses to the UK airbase drone incursions reporting a black triangle and glowing orange orb to the BBC. Those are common UFO types. UFOs are historically most reported at nuclear sites, going back to the 1950s. Meanwhile the MoD is saying nothing. Curious. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's so important to understand how the weird evangelical belief that gathering the Jews in Israel will trigger the Second Coming is a strong influence in US politics around Israel. It doesn't get talked about nearly enough, now or before.
