X policies actively amplify covert foreign influence campaigns
(BylineTimes article 👇)

Has anyone at the EU or in UK government done a cost-benefit analysis of retaining US as an ally, versus the (perhaps irreparable) damage to our democracies?

"The recent exposure of covert foreign influence via imposter accounts on X is jarring enough as it is, but a closer look reveals an even more concerning reality: these accounts did not flourish in spite of the platform’s policies, but because of them" bylinetimes.com/2025/12/08/e...

New Substack - everyone’s being accused of antisemitism apart from the people who *checks notes* love H*tler.

Exactly Who is 'Weaponizing Antisemitism'?
... And when did being a neo-Nazi become okay as long as you don't criticise the Israeli government?

I always find it interesting to compare emissions from different countries with similar populations

Data tells many stories.

H/t to @ourworldindata.org to make this so accessible.
(Can you please update this dataset with (corrected) numbers up to '23 & include an option for per capita?)

What a recommendation! Thank you @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social both for recommending the podcast AND backing @the-citizens.bsky.social campaign for an inquiry into Russian interference in UK politics 👊👊👊
Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social spell out what needs to happen - the same demand we’ve made for years.

We need a real, independent inquiry 🧵

My fave thing about the recent drama of Farage allegedly being extremely nastily racist & anti-Semitic in his youth:

He could've pled the ignorance of youth. He's had many opportunities.

Why didn't he?

Instead he's gone for Totalitarian Denial, gaslighting, chucking insults & threatening Lawsuits

I've done more than my fair share of jury service - 4 cases in total - and am in favour of it as a direct result of that experience. It works. Feels like an important democratic check (not least) on the power of judges - who, through no fault of their own - must inevitably get jaded by experience.
