Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.
The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

“Public transport doesn’t need invention. Just like water and electricity, we've solved the technology challenges for urban and long-distance transport. It’s the political will, not technological capability, that is lacking. We don't need invention; we need implementation.” @garethdennis.bsky.social

I'm a big fan of the work of @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social and he's now donating one pound from sales of the paperback of Is a River Alive to @riveractionuk.bsky.social. It's published in March next year, but available for pre-order uk.bookshop.org/p/books/is-a... Pre-orders count as presents, surely

A debt debate that is frozen in time & ideology
Richardson & Willis debt debate assumes 1991-style austerity worked, that NZ faces being locked out of global markets, that the NZ Super Fund doesn't exist & that households can borrow much more

I don't know what kind of training judges get, if any, but it's pretty clear many of them need more education about sexual assault, rape, and harassment, and the meaning of rape culture. So often they prioritise the reputations, careers, and feelings of perpetrators over the harms done to victims.
And it gets worse.
"Judge Raoul Neave has granted him bail while awaiting the appeal."
Our "justice" system is a sick joke.

THIS. Frankly, how the *bleep* do you OVER-react to six radical judicial activists acting as unelected and unaccountable secret legislators because... well... they just feel like it and fuck your peasant impertinence for daring to so much as raise an eyebrow at any of it?
We are underreacting to this‼️
We have no explanation on SCOTUS decisions affecting our lives.
The emergency docket, aka “shadow docket,” is the quiet backdoor of the Supreme Court. Decisions drop fast, with little explanation, and Trump is hammering it harder than anyone in modern history.
