Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

U.S. Flips History by Casting Europe—Not Russia—as Villain in New Security Policy An annual strategy document, which has described threats from China to Russia, directs some of its harshest language at NATO allies.

This is an abomination.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

In case you needed even more motivation to vote in the Midterm elections...

I hear you. There’s got to be a better way. Also, public sector organisations that advertise jobs externally because they’re legally obliged to (when they actually have a preferred internal candidate ready to promote) really waste people’s time. It doesn’t get any easier the older one gets either.

I keep wasting days of my life doing long job applications,getting an interview ,only to be told ' there was an exceptional group of people who applied ' for a job I have a lot of experience in. A lot of it is they've already got someone lined up, they aren't really interested in what you offer.

First, Grok appeared useful. Then political bias rendered it worthless as a fact-checking tool. Now it is simply dangerous - used for confirmation bias by right wing X accounts spreading untruths.

Favoring GBNews over the BBC is like asking a pervy neighbor to babysit rather than your own mother.

This has a whole lot of “OJ looking for the real killer” energy

Pains me to admit, barring some sort of political miracle, this is an accurate summary.

Good to see KFC’s Colonel Sanders finally getting the recognition he deserves for services to the club…

Agreed. The 2028-29 GE campaign will focus on tactical voting - abandoning party loyalty to coalesce with voters whose opinions are broadly aligned, for the sole purpose of ensuring Reform are unable form an NHS-terminating overall majority. Let’s hope the Right don’t have the same idea this time!

What do you mean forced to delete it?

And yet, here we are. Living in a country where hatred and societal division is monetised on social media, and newspaper proprietors won’t be happy until the man who sold us Brexshit has the keys to No. 10.

Happy days. 🙄

Just been back at the other place and it’s even worse than I remember - Divisive, hate-filled algorithmic bias runs rampant.

But while the content here is far more balanced, I’m sad to say BlueSky is also failing to engage and link likeminded people with smaller accounts.

I miss pre-Elon Twitter.

Patriots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 before blaming all your woes on a government who’ve held power for less than 16 months, consider that your Brexit vote caused a 4–5% GDP shortfall, equivalent to £120bn per year in lost UK output. By rights, that’s £6,892 per year that you individually owe the rest of us! #BrexitHasFailed

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Mockler: You said that Democrats are dying on this hill, but a lot of Republicans are climbing up the hill right now. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been outspoken about it. Mike Johnson got confronted on C-SPAN the other day by a Republican…

Yes, possibly true, but afraid of what, exactly? Without playing the conspiracy theorist, it feels like there’s more to this lack of MSM engagement, given there’s enough smoke to warrant further inquiries in the public interest - you’d think investigations would extend beyond Jukes and Cadwalladr.

Trump’s useful idiot - weak, slippery and despicable. History will not be kind to Mike Johnson, and deep down you sense he knows it!

Posts go unseen, comments ignored, clunky functionality… I love the Bluesky community, but is it a bit shit as an interactive social media platform?

Tumbleweed incoming….

Why is no one picking up this story beyond Byline?

If you're concerned about who will govern Britain after the 2028 general election, I'd urge you to engage with this investigation and its wider implications. Key questions remain unanswered - it is time this story received mainstream coverage commensurate with the seriousness of the allegations.

More of this please…
