how ironic to see the state protect two people who sought to strip the state while working under the direction of elon musk, who has made it impossible to seek recourse when people get death threats and harassment on twitter

Israel's attack, echoing similar carnage it wrought in Gaza, kills doctors, paramedics and nurses who were on duty.
Every month, a little bit of money comes out of my account to support @ledbydonkeys.org
We need people like them to give us a true picture of society, government & the people who run it.
We also need them to call out the raging hypocrisy of people like Nigel Mirage and Stephen Yaxley Lennon.
Hard agree.
Bang for buck, money well spent on @ledbydonkeys.org
Ā£5 pcm isnāt a lot ..
But it is Ā£60 a yearā¦and if LOTS of people do it - say 1000- thatās Ā£60,000 pa. Surely 5000 supporters is possible?
Ā£300,000 a year. Etc etc.
Pete Hegseth is banishing photographers from the Pentagon over āunflatteringā photos of him?
Would be a shame if this picture kept circulating.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.
āThere is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,ā Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Thank you, Gary & thank you Everyone Else ā¤ļø
Give me a book too, & I'm all yours ā¤ļø
šØ Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Donāt let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesnāt need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

When the bees go, we'll be not long to follow.
Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone

Yes...
But then again, I teach Maths šš¤£
You canāt make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.
Haven't been able to travel widely for a few years, so I just consider my membership to EH as contribution for upkeep etc šPS: I LOVE runined castles etc š
Missed my glasses, so had to squint to see the Raven š
I've been MIA on social media lately. My husband needs a shoulder replacement, so I've been taking on all his responsibilities around the house (shopping, animals, yard work, etc.) around my full-time job. Tl;dr: Pls buy my books: https://www.tfrohock.com/fiction2

Tomorrow February 28h is no buy nothing day! Boycotts work; it's a start. When it starts effecting retailers they will make noise. Target notice a decalin this month. I like to make a suggestion, cut down or do not Buy Eggs as long as you can. Big ask, might work! šššāļø

Screen grab of the faked pic of Trump wearing a crown put out by the White House, above the headline for my piece in the post above.
Really happy with how the guys at @prospect have framed my post.
@arusbridger.bsky.social and others at Prospect's support for this Weekly Constitutional series of posts is well received.
Yup: chucking it down now after earlier blowing us away š³
It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.
Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".
Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".
We need to sound the alarm.

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They donāt care about whatās going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.
āI wanted to make that very clear to the council that in a normal city council meeting this shouldnāt be happening,ā
This would be completely illegal. But you wouldnāt know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.
The US secretary of state is a plonker & fairly ignorant too...
He's 4 mths older than me & I (fortunately) still have ALL my marbles - enough to say he's already declined into stupidity š
Just to remind people that tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of Putinās unlawful invasion of Ukraine.
His planned 3 day āspecial operationā is still being slogged out, costing Russia about 1 million men (dead and injured) courtesy of Ukrainian courage.
Be there if you can to support them š
