How have so many people been manipulated against the #BBC?

It's one of the most trusted broadcasters on the planet.

And yet, I see smart people, even people I respect, retreating the worst conspiracy theories.

IT IS THE BEST THERE IS.
And we're destroying it

Would you prefer #Fox, #Sky #GBNews ?
DEFEND THE BBC!

FROM FACISTS, FROM TRUMP, FROM FARAGE, FROM SCUM.

We must stand up for truth.

How will future generations understand this global level of corruption?

War crimes? Human rights offences? Mass murder?

And what will they call it? The "Anti-throposene"?

Enduring legacy? Makes it sound like a good thing. Funny how everyone is supposed to move on from the pandemic. How many people did we lose and how have they been remembered?

Ice *CAUSING* disturbings.
This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

I can't vote, and I'm not even American, but fighting fascism is borderless!

Vote for the correct NYC's mayor, if you're able!
If you live in NY, you have an opportunity to fight Fascism!
By your vote!

Trump is one of those people the future will argue: should we go back in time and kill a baby Trump.

Well I say "argue"...
Trump foreign policy:

“Why give Ukraine tens of billions to resist a fascist dictator when we can just give it to Argentina to prop up a fascist dictator?”

Is there a group on Bluesky that actively look for SIMILARITIES between people?

Rather than forced to choose "a side"?

Can I support connections, communities, humanity, good journalism, positive future????

US style paid for lies coming here.

Obviously by the corrupt Farage.

Trying to break countries apart.

Arguing there's not enough Free Speech while using it to manipulate.

SICKENING.
The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

An AI warning from the people who study it.

AI IS INSANITY.

And people are pushing it like it's a mass silver bullet.

IT COULD LITERALLY DESTROY US. AND WE PUSH ON REGARDLESS.

Interesting report in the Mirror on MP's Second Jobs

They are supposed to have jobs already. And a community to look after.

Top of the list is Farage - by far - followed closey by mostly all Tories (Blue) and Reform (Dark Green).

How much of these aren't bribes?

Millionaire-Nigel, Never-Around-Nigel,
Taking-the-Piss-Nigel.

Which one do you support?

He earned more money than ALL the Labour and Lib Dems put together.

He's an MP in name only.
Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.
