The Russians that are likely filling Musk's head with nonsense forgot to mention that the Russian army in Ukraine is almost entirely volunteer contract soldiers - men that agreed to murder people in Ukraine in exchange for around $4000/month.

Despite Lula solidly winning the Brazilian Presidential runoff, his Far Right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro is describing the result as “inexplicable” and calling for the election to be annulled. A preview for the US Midterms.

Veteran Ivan Lebid is Ukraine's first tram driver with a prosthesis. The Defender served as a grenade launcher. In May 2025, Ivan stepped on a mine and lost his leg as a result of a severe injury. After just a month of training, Ivan fully mastered a hand-controlled tram. 📹: Radio Liberty

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

russian attacks injured 8 people. The strikes sparked fires at industrial and warehouse facilities, as well as in residential and non-residential buildings. A hotel, buses, a house and outbuildings were also damaged. Help protect Ukrainians from russian attacks. u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

1/ Russian warbloggers are applauding Elon Musk for being sympathetic to Russia. They suggest that he crippled Ukraine's Starlink/Starshield connection for fear of Russian retaliation, dislike of the Ukrainians, and a desire to make Ukraine pay more for using it. ⬇️

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is right. One estimate is of a long term hit of 4%. Another says it’s already been 6-8%. By almost every economic and financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK youtu.be/DQRzdz-7R8U?...

“Brexiters continue to say we were right to leave the EU. But only if they include the dead, exclude the young and ignore buyers’ remorse can they still say they have democracy on their side.” So, Brexit fails on every single metric. Let’s bin it off for good. kellnerp.substack.com/p/britains-p...

Jackdaw will not bring down bills or protect jobs. This is an irresponsible decision from a government that seems to care more about the profits of fossil fuel companies than the money in your pocket or the safety of our planet.

How a country is unable to get rid of someone like this 👇 is beyond me.

Well done, King in the North Sea. You’ve given the Greens a much-needed boost, and the planet a much needed bit of extra burning.

UK ‘wealth exodus’ was manufactured by the press. The press complaints body IPSO must investigate or step aside. The story started with one study which now admits it has no evidence. Media owned by corporations and the super rich lapped it up, served their economic interest, ideological purpose.

We were too spineless to regulate these billionaire freaks, so now one of them gets to decide whether Ukrainian drones can catch the missiles aimed at Ukrainian kids. We have failed spectacularly.

To counter Trump’s pack of lies about Ukraine, go here:

Republicans threaten to block Pentagon funding unless Trump takes on Putin www.channel4.com/news/republi...

Fuck this guy, fuck MAGA and seriously fuck Trump & Putin, sideways, with a cactus. Zelensky is a bloody hero, and Ukraine will decide its future, not some dumbass Maga twerp with the sentience of a bucket of horses piss.

The ECHR is not a "left-wing project" but a "safeguard against arbitrary government" He describes the Tory party now as “a political party that cannot tolerate support for fundamental human rights.” What a disgrace. How are they different from Reform exactly? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump slips off into an alternative universe where the Trump family rode in on on golden chariots and conquered Greenland. Or Putin told him it happened that way..

We were coldly, cynically, systematically lied to Tories, particularly Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock, will forever have the blood of the elderly on their hands. A reminder that Hancock got a lucrative TV gig. And Johnson still rakes cash in for his newspaper column. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

...or, I guess, as Trump would explain this evil attack on an institute of cardiology, Russia has “been fine on Ukraine” and “hasn’t been doing much.”

🚨 BREAKING: Russia attacked an institute of cardiology in Kyiv, destroying a sixth-floor operating room. One patient was injured in the strike on the medical facility, according to local authorities.

For did not the Good Lord say, "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, kick them in the nuts, for this is the Law and the Prophets"?

"The polls are clear – an overwhelming number of voters want to rejoin the EU. Millions of Brexit voters have died and the young want to get back in," writes Peter Kellner. @thenewworldmag.bsky.social

If you are wanting to learn about the Russian occupation of Ukrainian territory, this important film is a very good place to start. www.docnyc.net/film/traces/

I have been trying to think of what Trump’s hideous “ballroom” project reminds me of — and I finally have it — it is Nicolai Ceausescu’s infamous and unfinished House of the People in communist Romania, which also brought awfulness to a lovely downtown.

Yeah, Jesus was famous for hating empathy.

Perhaps it didn’t make the news in your media. Yesterday, russia damaged the Book Chamber of Ukraine in Kyiv. It holds 15+ million books, newspapers, magazines and maps published in Ukraine since 1917. The collections are now at risk from moisture. Windows in the storage areas were blown out.

Why the hell should the taxpayers bail them out AGAIN whilst they're paying out dividends to shareholders ffs

Thames Water line up former Labour minister John Hutton as chairman, as it tries to win over the govt. Hutton left the govt after the expenses and lobbying scandals. Now pursued by TW to fix things politically, TW is financially, environmentally bankrupt.

Let’s talk about treason.

‘I can still see him in my arms’ - A brother’s memories of Aberfan Viv Jones was just 15 when 144 people were killed in the Aberfan disaster, including his younger brother. On the 60th anniversary of the tragedy, he tells Andy Davies his own story of that day. Read our latest newsletter:

“Of course we are not losing the war, but we are losing people and time.” President Zelenskyy in Oslo when asked if Ukraine is losing the war.

I'm speechless.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.
