What is being done to Major Watson is wrong. I can tell you that his situation is worse than being reported (even here) I don't want to say more because I don't want to make things worse for him. Please pressure your Representatives to stand up for him. Call them. Write them and text PFEJON to 50409
Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

“The case for Rejoin must be a case for Europe as our home: a continent…prepared to take on and defeat Russian imperialism, an economic union which can shelter countries from the storm of a global trade war” A team we want to belong to. Because it strengthens us all. www.arguably.uk/p/europe-is-...

This is a lie. Inflation is 3.7%, not 1.7%. And tariffs ARE raising prices. But stop calling this just “inflation.” It’s families paying more and buying less. Cutting groceries. Putting off purchases. Watching their paycheck disappear before the month does. That’s not success. That’s suffering.

I saw Musk, Alex Gibney's documentary, yesterday afternoon. This is easily the most important documentary of the last decade. Watching it reminded me that over the last decade, exactly two publications have done a stand-up job of covering Musk: WSJ and Wired. The balance of US media has been AWOL.

More far right Leonard Leo Catholic anti Muslim bigotry. MAGA Catholics are astonishingly vile.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

A good summary of the House Judiciary Dems' 50-p report on Trump's history as a violent sexual predator, including a well vetted, under-oath account from Beatrice Keul of how Trump raped her in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, after the pair were introduced to one another by Jeffrey Epstein.

I couldn’t agree more. Any chance of nationwide pro EU marches being organised @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social ? 🙂
Pro-Europeans really need to get their act together if they're going to sieze the opportunity which is being presented here. Press and broadcasters reverting right back to their previous position from 2016, with zero update.

Bloomberg putting numbers on it matters: hundreds recruited out of Burundi and Zimbabwe, an admission. Moscow strips its own poorest regions first, then rents manpower from states too weak to stop the recruiters.
#Russia is stepping up the number of #Africans it #recruits to counter a personnel #shortage in its #military and is targeting some of the continent’s most #dysfunctional states for #manpower. 🎁 Read the full story for free: bloom.bg/4zdS2b0

🇺🇸 SpaceX may have helped Russia’s Kosmos-2612 get within 500m of ICEYE-X36, a satellite supporting Ukraine, on Oct 18. SpaceX issued a false collision alert that stopped ICEYE from maneuvering. Russia had similarly shadowed a US spy satellite in 2022, but at a much greater distance – around 70 km.
🇺🇸 Russia's Kosmos-2612 made maneuvers near ICEYE-X36 consistent with an orbital weapons operation. US arms control adviser Brian Hardesty made the statement at the UN First Committee in New York on Oct 21. To accuse Russia of something at such a desperate time for Trump! Scandalous.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

The importance of salmon might be a novel idea to the Lower 48, but every Alaskan understands. Fish is how we feed our families, drive our economy, and sustain our way of life. I’m the only candidate fighting for our fisheries, not the factory trawlers.

Nice to see @theguardian.com are finally catching up after 6+ years 🤦♂️👇 "Imposition of SEZ status or equivalent… interference in local democracy" SEZ status = Network States / Enterprise Cities / Charter Cities like Thiel & co's dystopian democracy destroying Prospera project on Roatan, Honduras
Now why might there be such huge public concern re Data Centres? …Threats to water & electricity supply to local communities …Noise …Toxic levels of pollution …A handful of jobs created …Imposition of SEZ status or equivalent… interference in local democracy www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Elon apparently wasn't too happy about our latest episode of the Coffee Klatch — and my criticisms of him. Here's the full conversation, in case you missed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6g...
Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

A hunting trip to Mongolia furnishes cover for meetings between TrumpJr and Putin sidekick Umar Kremlëv. TrumpJr stood on stage with a wide smile as an auctioneer sold off the chance to join him on a week-long hunting trip in western Mongolia. “Will you beat $225,000? I’m giving you a bargain,” the
