Their Social Media presence is as fake as the polls about their support.

They're made for each other. Under Trump, the US is no longer an ally.
Will the UK stand up to the bully or become its servile lackey?

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.
War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.

Thanks @deutschewelle.dw.com for including me in yesterday’s debate on Europe’s strengths - at a time of renewed attacks by Trump.
We could all agree that Trump is wrong - and that Europe needs to act in response to this new world

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in.
A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.

I'm listening to the wonderful "Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols" from King's College, Cambridge on BBC Radio 4 and following the words in the service sheet. Below some of the carols, a company name is listed. Is this the copyright owner or ingenious fundraising? @kingscollege.bsky.social

NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.

It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.

Schumer: The law was written very clearly, and it did not allow all these redactions—this blacking out of everything. It did not say you can dribble them out over a period of months. These guys are full of shit. They should simply release it all now.

Carol of the Bells (Ukrainian Shchedryk) performed by a Swedish choir in Ukrainian.

The choir is conducted by a Ukrainian lady, the pianist and several young participants are also from Ukraine, and the rest of the choir learned Shchedryk in Ukrainian.

Beautiful!
