I think the media went in with a pre-prepared script 😏

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42 and post the second sentence.

Now imagine this happening with that bloviated racist rightwing trump loving lying shitfaced grifter and his tax avoiding deputy running the country?

No, it wouldn‘t. But we’d be hosting Vance, and US Healthcare companies.

Midweek Update #7: The Most Corrupt War In US History Trump Is Passing The Initiative To Iran; Oil Markets, Watch Out If They Lose Their Optimism

Hi all, just sent out free midweek update on USA-Iran. Normally bad superlatives are used about war--the worst, the most destructive, etc. These are rarely warranted. However in this case we have one superlative, we are witnessing the most corrupt war in US history. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

That always helps, I hope the sun is shining, too

Fingers crossed for your buyer 🤞💞

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

What the American "drug war" looks like on the ground: Ecuadorian fishermen were attacked in a double drone strike, arrested at gupoint, taken to El Salvador and then finally released.

Good morning A-W and fellow ORCs, beautiful start to the day, I’ve been awake since 4 and feel more wide awake now than I do if I sleep until 6 🤷🏼‍♀️
Going to see Orwell 2+2=5 this afternoon.
Have a lovely day 💞

Trump is sinking.

Gosh he looks ill 😉🤞

Heartbreaking 💔🕯

The world order is under sustained attack.

War. Greed. Apathy. Impunity. The growing assumption that rules can be ignored.

The UN wasn't built for the easy moments. It was built for moments like this.

Thank you @chathamhouse.org for hosting this discussion.

Also standing up to Trump and the closeness we now have with European leaders along with Canada and Australia - keep calm and carry on ❤️

When Trump talked about ushering in a "new golden age," he was talking about a new golden age for his family's pocketbook.

As a boomer I remember when we got our first phone, when I was 7, I tried dialling my own phone number and was told off by the woman at the exchange 🥴😉

This.

We had the audacity to reject the born to rule brigade.

Labour’s great green energy plan could be a legacy as vital as the NHS | Polly Toynbee Ed Miliband has a rare chance to do for the climate what Nye Bevan did for health: create something future generations will be proud of, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

"Labour’s great green energy plan could be a legacy as vital as the NHS".

Putin & Netanyahu hold the evidence.

It’s the only explanation

Considering at one time he couldn’t afford to rent a place so his mate Aaron paid the rent for him, he’s doing amazingly now 🥴😏

I imagine his total grift is millions of pounds, dollars and rubles.

There is a collective faux outrage amongst the journalistic & chattering classes.

Who do they want at this crucial moment in history?

Farage?
Badenoch?

Our foreign owned press is the enemy within.
