We're "suddenly" finding out that giving every autocratic dictatorship in the world free & open access to our own social media, possibly isn't a great idea

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

So, yes, that's why we need to talk about Nigel Farage.

The wealthy always win out. In a recession they buy up assets & companies at knock down prices, asset strip them & sell off assets when he market upturns.
Musk has used his media influence to talk bitcoin up then down, profiting in both directions to the detriment of ordinary investors

DW @dwblue.bsky.social · 16h

Agreed, we got a shit sandwich but with less shit in it than the one Farage would've served us

DW @dwblue.bsky.social · 16h

Agreed, disinformation & propaganda has always been around. It's just that 24/7 social media has supercharged it & given it freely to countries that are our enemies in terms of wanting us harm

I'm sure he will, Farage is the ultimate irresponsible side line critic, always pointing at thing's & saying 'I wouldn't have done it like that'

You're all guinea pigs in a giant experiment by someone with literally no scientific or medical training at all.

We have forgotten what it's like to hold a child paralyzed with polio or comfort a mom who has lost her child from measles. It wasn’t that many generations ago. And I don‘t want to see us go backward. They protect children. They are our best defense against these illnesses. Vaccinate your family.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

One of the original conspiracy theories ie there's a whole group who think his death was fabricated & he went into hiding & secretly wrote most of the plays attributed to Shakespeare

The problem with Farage is he can always argue 'its nothing to do with him' whereas the deal we got was the best of a bad option. Farage's option would've essentially been no deal at all & have been financially significantly worse. Like with Trump, it's always somebody else's fault

DW @dwblue.bsky.social · 20h

Really?, I don't see what's wrong with that statement. We are demonstrably poorer because of Brexit, so our services have to be funded from less money which will mean higher taxes. We could argue about which taxes, but the overall principle is true. Farage was the main cheerleader for Brexit
