@Jacxdad3376 It happened to my niece. My sister lost her two children. One to suizide, the other to a tragic accident. The loss is unfathomable.

Leadership.

[𝔗𝔯𝔲𝔱𝔥 𝔐𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔰 @politicsusa46]

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.

Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

@LauraMiers Three of Germany's federal state police forces use Palantir's Gotham software and a 4th is believed to change to Gotham soon. You know the Spiel about world government? I have a feeling it will all be consolidated under Palantir

@spooked75 I have, in my research about this, come across a term which i find unbelievably useful in trying to explain what is happening. Not just with Kirk's assasination. It is stochastic terrorism.

1/Hearing a lot of people talk about tariffs and "what it will mean." It's likely to mean nothing.

1) Lots of other terrible chaos happening; no time for tariffs.

2) "Tariffs" were a campaign dogwhistle to people who want to eliminate the income tax.

Focus on the fascism.

@DanKaszeta Oh the small details.

1. Who really won the US election? The fossil fuel companies and other polluting industries. We scarcely heard about them during the election campaign, which is just how they like it. Almost everything we *did* hear about was a distraction from the real agenda. 🧵

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.

The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

Breaking: @SkyNews just deleted this video by their Amsterdam correspondent @AlicePorterTV posted to Twitter, without public explanation. I saved a copy.

The video explains the truth about the Israeli football hooligans who went on a racist rampage in the city this week. Watch:

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Dutch young journalist @OmeBender was reporting on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans when one of them approached him and “warned” to stop filming.

The Israeli fans can be seen in these videos, carrying steel pipes and throwing stones at homes.

We are living in dark & dangerous times. Journalism has never been more needed. Nor under threat. Which is why I agreed to speak - nervously - to @arusbridger & @lionelbarber in an episode they've called “The Observer's Existential Crisis".

This is highly significant, and illustrates how the Project 2025 agenda is not just about America, but a source of inspiration around the world - especially for the increasingly radicalised UK Conservative Party

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

For those waking up in US, bewildered in Europe, what happened?

Have been on air for last 12 hours pouring over the data

Here it is

There's no silver lining for Democrats. Trump won everywhere. He's going to win the popular vote. He did better across the demographics. He grew his coalition, better with black voters, Latinos, young voters. The US become less racially divided by party. Harris underperformed Biden virtually everywhere.

Trump improved on his 2020 margin in 2,367 counties. His margin decreased in only 240 counties.

About 10 yeara ago, we stopped wondering if he would ever grow into his ears. #dogs #mongrels
