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.

Don’t expect people to learn anything from history when they can’t even learn anything from 4 years ago

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

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.

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. https://t.co/4x8mFzF7za

Donald Trump - a crime gang leader taking charge of the world's most powerful country.

[Treason Stickers @treasonstickers]

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.

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

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.

Thank you Stephen King for calling Elon Musk the First Lady 🤣

For the latest @Sobremesacast I talked to @LeahPattem about her reporting from some of the areas hardest hit from floods in Valencia and about the huge protest at the weekend calling on regional premier Carlos Mazón to resign for his disastrous management of the emergency.

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...

It's almost like the people arguing that Britain has two-tier policing & a two-tier justice system (& a two-tier national news media) were right! 🧐
