It’s a long thread, but it’s another article by the excellent @monkemma.bsky.social debunking an article by the ‘entertaining’ Daily Mail. The BBC would surely do well to ignore the ‘influence’ of right-wing media such as the DM. 👇

If you’re a SERGIO LEONE fan, you need to hunt this down let me tell you. Fantastic Documentary on this movie maestro. THE ITALIAN WHO INVENTED AMERICA (2022) “No-one’s ever made Movies like him, before or after.” — Steven Spielberg

This is useful to know. Even it it doesn’t affect you, it may affect someone you know

Trump's former communications director says: yes, Trump is a Russian agent, and if you haven't figured that out yet, you're not very smart.

If you don’t vote, I can guarantee that one day in the near future you’ll miss the fact that you can’t anymore.

Another fantastic explanatory thread from @monkemma.bsky.social debunking ‘wildly misleading’ headlines about immigrants.👇

Former Israeli war chief Yoav Gallant admitted that Israeli forces killed their own civilians and soldiers during the Hamas' attack on October 7, 2023. He revealed that the Hannibal Directive was issued, leading the Israeli army to indiscriminately fire at people Don't think you will see that in MSM

This guy has been and still is my ‘human university’. By that I mean he’s taught, inspired and echoed my inner thoughts & theories more than any other human I’ve ever come across. Here he is talking about humanity’s “circling the drain”. His name — GEORGE CARLIN.

FFS…👇

1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

This! 👇

This is truly awful. My heart weeps. 👇

Thames Water is a zombie company, kept alive by debt. Take it into Special Administration. That way cash from customer bills can go straight into sewage and water infrastructure rather than servicing the debt. Then take it into public ownership. We can't afford privatisation.

We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

Is Reform the dodgiest party ever? You decide.

This German comedy sketch (with English subtitles) perfectly captures so much of what is going on right now in the UK, the US, and across Europe. "Playing the 'Nazi Card' in the Third Reich", by Browser Ballett.

It's hard to think of anything less British than the morons doing this to the heroic RNLI

Quite. 👇

Can we get this in the UK, please?

RL what a nasty, nasty individual. Threatening someone for simply doing their job. 👇

A few things (international) commentatoes should remember. Only 2 million people live in Sachsen-Anhalt. Half of Berlin, a tenth of NRW. Around 400k will vote AfD. Even with this strong result, 80% of people living in S-A will not have voted for the AfD. In a state that is a far-right stronghold.

Please RT! 👇 🙏🏻 X

This! 👇

This is disgusting. Mind, I wouldn’t expect anything less from a RF conference. 👇

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Worth reading for the comments. Not that the ‘great unwashed’ will go anywhere near reading this. 😂👇

Trust Dr Fauchi Anthony Fauci is an American physician-scientist and immunologist. He served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022 and as Chief Medical Advisor to the President from 2021 to 2022. Science Is Under Attack By Republicans

The loss of dolly feels so significant because she was a fundamentally decent person publicly. We live in such an era of proudly public assholery that her example was especially profound.

Once again @monkemma.bsky.social shows ‘journalists’ how it’s done. Mr Jason Arday (RIP 😢). Most seem to be too quick to create badly researched articles for clickbait, acting as ‘influencers’. As well as being too keen to denegrate/hound others irrespective of the facts.

One day, people in power will be asked what they did during the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians… And they’ll be able to say …we kept sending Israel arms, trading with them and issued a joint statement.

NEW: Who funds Nigel Farage? And why has it taken till now for any journalistic scrutiny? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social who has tracked him for a decade exposes how the UK press & regulators looked the other way 🧵👇

I don't think crypto assets are covered by FDIC. If this "bank" is, it will surely crash the FDIC. Maybe that's the plan?

He didn’t change. They did.

🔴EXCLUSIVE🔴 I worked with @georgegreenwood.bsky.social & Tom Ball at the Times to expose how Farage’s “personal friend” John Mappin was a member of a far right conspiracist crypto scheme later accused of scamming investors www.opendemocracy.net/nigel-farage...

One can dream, can’t one? 👇

Trump's Treasury permanently ended beneficial ownership reporting for U.S. companies, eliminating records investigators use to trace hidden money and organized crime networks, including Epstein-style trafficking networks and Russian money laundering.
