FUN FACT: On 10/22/12 Trump said gas was at “crazy levels” and Obama should be fired. Gas that day: $3.69. Gas prices today: $4.22. If $3.69 was a firing offense, what’s $4.22?

Too few realize this, but Russia occupies less Ukrainian territory today than in March 2022. Control dropped from about 28% of Ukraine down to 20%. That is a clear failure by any metric

I think the general consensus of people around the world is that Americans can get fooled by a con man once, but to return him to power a 2nd time after having seen his corruption, incompetence, ignorance, & buffoonery, the problem isn’t just Trump it’s the American people.

Ukraine will always be free! Happy Independence Day Ukraine 🇺🇦

There's absolutely zip in weekend press. Some self-justification in Times. Tumbleweed in Guardian & Obs. Read the comments beneath my article to see what most people think, not right-wing blowhards. Most people are kind, decent & absolutely revolted. 9/ broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-jason-...

Where are the articles reflecting on the media's failures? Or any honest attempt to fill gaps in the reporting? Why has no mainstream outlet followed up on newly unearthed facts about the marathons, reported first by @bylinetimes.bsky.social & @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social & now Emma Monk? 8/

No journalist looked for evidence: of his marathons. Of his scholarly impact. This is what Professor Jason Stanley discovered when he went looking, that if you look at the available metrics: "Arday's impact is easily comparable to the leading scholars in his academic field." 6/

Yet TODAY, the Times can publish a piece today, citing the fraudulent marathons that Arday ran "on a broken leg", a claim he never made. It was a hairline fracture *that was reported at the time*. And the headline of the piece? You cannot make this stuff up. 5/

What I hadn't realised until Arday's death was how deficient the underlying reporting fuelling the the commentary industrial complex was. Read this thread & tell me the marathons were just another "fabulist" data point. 3/ x.com/MonkEmma/sta...

I wrote this piece about my my own attempt to process how & why this story has affected me so much and what it says about the state not just of our media but our entire information ecosystem. But it's also just the tip of the iceberg. 2/ broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-jason-...

I want a president who likes the democratic governments of Canada and Ukraine more than the dictatorships of North Korea and Saudi Arabia.

There is so much more to say. Some of it here. We cannot let this lie. It's not politics. It's not ideology. It's not a culture war. It's a question of basic humanity. A man is dead. And he should be alive. And maybe he still would be. If it wasn't for us. ENDS

And that's not to even go into the fact that Jason Arday was autistic. That a world-leading expert in autism Simon Baron-Cohen had publicly identified him as a suicide risk. This from Will Self - who has two autistic children - is essential reading. 10/

Here's Jason Arday's death - and the media's role in it - trending on social media, again. And yet it's *nowhere* in the mainstream media today. It's "fallen" out of the news cycle in the same way that Russian scientists "fall" out of windows. 🔗

There will be a reckoning in America As these ICE agents flagrantly abuse the system to make tons of overtime locking up people up to make a quote It is going to negatively impact the labor market and the economy Profiling Latinos to make those quotas is appalling

The scale of corruption in Trump’s second administration is head-spinning

Did you know a barrister is facing jail just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience? This historic right has kept trials fair since 1670. We can't let it be silenced now. Add your name to defend fair trials👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Anyone can cosplay as #ICE! That puts everyone at risk. Your daughter could be SAed by an ICE imposter. ICE thugs use masks & unidentified vehicles. This puts us all at risk because if one person doesn't have rights, no one has rights. In Trump's America, no one is safe from #ICELawlessness! 🧵

This is absolutely spot on

Astronauts returning from long missions report a “jet lag of the self”: “a sense of watching their own lives from a half-step outside the frame”. [spacedaily.com]

Republicans will see that nearly 600k children in Texas were kicked off SNAP and try to convince you that they and their families were all committing fraud. The truth is Republicans chose to prioritize tax breaks for corporations and billionaires over feeding children. www.cbpp.org/blog/number-...

I see this conversation floating around again (as it should). Since I’m a math nut, I did the math a while ago to show how much your vote counts with the Electoral College. A voter in Wyoming has 4x the weight of a voter in Florida. #vote #electoralcollege open.substack.com/pub/ellieleo...

US secretary of state Marco Rubio claims Iran not serious about peace talks

Climate change is expensive.

Spot on

It's cool, the world deleted him.

So, Mr. Tiny hands claims that there are 1,700 known Iranian sleeper cells in the us. So, Why is ICE wasting time, money, & resources to round up nannies, farm workers, gardeners, daycare workers etc? B/c it wasn't about stopping illegal immigration but about using a fear tactic to stay in power.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: In a stunning admission, the FBI just confirmed to me the existence of training videos instructing FBI analysts on what to redact in the Epstein Files. I’ll show you the letter and discuss the massive implications in one hour. Link below: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Do you despair about the almost total lack of political will to tackle climate and ecological breakdown? I know I do, often. But there IS hope, in the form of 'Coalitions of the Willing', ie nations prepared to step up and lead the way. This is already happening. youtube.com/shorts/LqBRM...

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.🙂🌳🐿️

Attack a woman by attributing to her the misdeed of men. Classic. That's also why the only person in jail in the Epstein scandal is a woman. Or why of all the corrupt, inept members of his administration, Trump has only fired women.

GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.
