NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.
I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @TimothyDSnyder.

The world will burn just so trillionaires can get one more trillion that they will never spend, and they certainly don't need.
What a stupid way to die, for one person's insane greed.

To President Biden and all elected Democrats: Stop playing by rules that no longer exist. At this point, it's not just spinelessness, it's complicity.

Michelle Obama: “Our food environment isn’t healthy and we should explore some changes”
Republicans: “You’re a communist taking our freedom!”
RFK Jr: “Literally anything added to food is poison”

1/ X's algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to systematically boost Republican-leaning accounts and Elon Musk's own account following his endorsement of Donald Trump, according to a newly released computational study of engagement from the Queensland University of Technology.⬇️

Benazzi fighting an uphill battle against a totally biased voting system came up short 25 votes to 27.
This is a total disaster for hopes of global growth, Robinson is dreadful, and chances of a more global game been killed likely for rest of the decade.

Tomorrow decides next World Rugby Chairman.
The choice is Brett Robinson and status quo of limiting rugby's potential to just same dozen countries.
Or Abdel Benazzi who pledges to attempt to increase the sport's global spread.
Sincerely urge all Unions to vote for the latter.

Biden administration still has time to lift restrictions on US weapons. Don't let your legacy be written by the "escalation managers" who have been constantly wrong.

Maybe he’s not the best person to be in charge of a conference about abandoning fossil fuels…

Possibly the most insulting thing I’ve read in my entire life.
Feeding the poor and the needy with scraps when you sit there on a throne of gold.
You disgust me. news.sky.com/story/king-to-o…

Trump is dismantling the department of education for 4 reasons:
1. Uneducated people vote for republicans
2. To allow red states to white wash history
3. To funnel tax dollars into private for-profit Christian schools that promote the patriarchy
4. Project 2025 said to do it

Kristi Noem's reward for swaying to old songs with trump for 40 awkward minutes is being appointed Secretary of Homeland Security.
I guess if you can have a convicted felon in the White House, you can have a puppy killer in the cabinet.

A dead dog is rotting in your hallway. The smell is indescribable. So you make plans to install fans, do wonders with air fresheners, etc.
But at no point do you ever allow the thought to cross your mind to remove the carcass of the dog.
That's Labour's approach to Brexit.

España, lluvias torrenciales con victimas mortales, los 45 eventos mas destacables ordenados por fecha... destaca la ausencia de ellos durante un siglo (1674-1787), quiza debido a la falta de informacion (vete a saber porque) sobre eventos menores... o igual no hubo, ni idea...
