Not expecting to bring X down with my absence but taking a break-maybe better described as a boycott in my utter disgust and dismay that a single billionaire with no democratic mandate should feel entitled to affect the outcome of Russias war in Ukraine. @elonmusk @Starlink

‼️If you're in the US and you're wondering why your diesel engine sounds weird, what you're hearing is the sound of dying Ukranian children. No mechanic can fix that.

BREAKING: Renowned journalist Glenn Greenwald pens a viral takedown of Pete Hegseth's brutal announcement that the U.S.A. will now hold public executions. We're being dragged into a bad dystopian novel... "Not only has the US never televised public executions in its history, but not even the Nazi defendants sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials had their executions televised (it was deemed violative of the human rights that post-WW2 institutions were trying to re-establish)," Greenwald, who's best known for helping to break the Edward Snowden surveillance story, wrote on X. "The most amazing part of this is that Nidal Hasan is paraplegic and close to 60. So this disgusting spectacle will involve rolling him out in a wheelchair, then live-streaming his body as it's pumped full of bullets," he continued. "When I and others pointed out last night that public executions are carried out only by the countries we're told are the most primitive and savage (Afghanistan, North Korea), MAGA enthusiasts replied that we were too weak," he added. "Pummeling an old guy in a wheelchair with bullets -- as a reality TV show -- seems like an odd and dubious definition of 'strength,' let alone an expression of the western values they endlessly claim they and they alone are trying to salvage." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement this week that Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter who killed 13 people and injured 32 others in 2009, will be publicly executed has been met with rapturous applause by the MAGA crowd. These so-called Christians are positively giddy about the prospect of watching a Muslim be killed on TV, seemingly oblivious that these kind of primitive displays make them identical to the Islamist radicals they so despise. ISIS broadcast execution videos to terrorize their enemies. Now, the Trump administration hopes to do the same. None of this is to say that Hasan deserves our affection or even sympathy. This mass murderer belongs in prison for the rest of his life. What we're saying is that killing him for public consumption and entertainment debases us as a nation, morally and spiritually. We can choose to be better than this. Please ❤️ and share if you oppose public executions!

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

BREAKING: PAYBACK! Journalist Maggie Haberman hits Trump right where it hurts by going on TV after his attack and bluntly declaring: “There is no polling where this President is popular." This is going to prompt another Truth Social meltdown... "Let's put it that way," Haberman added after dropping her pitch-perfect soundbite. “And there is no polling where he is not in trouble on the issue of affordability." Haberman, who writes for The New York Times, made the remarks during an appearance on CNN’s “The Source” with Kaitlan Collins. The anchor had just brought up a stunning CNN poll that shows Trump with a net approval rating of -32 points. The Republican Party has a similarly awful net favorability rating of -21 points. "I will note that, repeatedly, the word 'affordability' was used at his Oval Office event today on healthcare, despite him repeatedly saying it’s a hoax," said Haberman. "This is the kind of thing that Republicans who are in these districts that are embattled do not want to be dealing with." These are undeniable facts that Haberman has presented. Trump is underwater with the American people because his disastrous Iran War has devastated the global economy and he seems completely uninterested in finding solutions. Instead, he's fixated on his ballroom and renaming bodies of water. It's not the content of Haberman's remarks that is most noteworthy, it's the fact that she boldly went on television so soon after Trump launched a deeply deranged attack against her. Last Friday, he penned a lengthy Truth Social post calling her "Maggot Hagerman" and smeared her reporting as fake news. He even insulted her physical appearance, calling her "an unattractive person both inside and out." A lot of reporters would have recoiled from the spotlight after being targeted by the most powerful, vindictive man in the world. Instead, Haberman continues to report the facts, even those that are sure to enrage the President. Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Maggie Haberman!

Andy Burnham has still not lifted Yvette Cooper's proscription which sees thousands of good people arrested as terrorists just for holding placards. Please RT this until the Labour Govt which inflicted it (but incredibly still expects our votes) - lifts it. Thank you.

Britain must prepare for El Niño. The UK is built for a climate which no longer exists. We need to grow more of our own food and prepare towns and workplaces for extreme heat. When climate shocks hit, public power must protect people so profiteers can't exploit crises.

Paula Vennells. In her 7 year tenure as CEO of the Post Office she waltzed off with £5.1 Mn; around £2.2 Mn coming from performance related incentives and pension in lieu payments. Yet postmasters/mistresses are still waiting for their compensation. #Newsnight #PostOfficeScandal

I was a bricklayer 47 years ago. Almost everyone I worked with is dead, many of them dying shortly after retiring. Tice is a privately educated multimillionaire property developer who hasn't done a day's hard graft in his life: he doesn't give a shit about working class people.
