The effectiveness of the RU #Krasnov operation rivals an all out nuclear, first strike. Eliminating so many US commanders isn't possible with any extant conventional means.

Especially as the US refuses to defend itself.

After 18 years, this Sask Party Government has created a culture of misinformation.

On days when you want to throw things at the wall, enjoy Eeyore leading a sheriff to spomeone who has fallen over. Epic.

This is Eeyore. He led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. We are awarding him the incredibly rare 15/10 (FB: OkaloosaSheriff)

IDK if it's related, but it's been obvious for years that the Oil industry (or billionaires that support them) are responsible for a huge number of bots or troll accounts that basically do nothing but hop into replies to angrily denounce anything about climate change with supposed proof it's fake.

Yes, the resistance to authoritarianism is very real. The risks of abuse of power are very real, but one of the most powerful cultural things that you can do to a movement that is predicated on the puffery of insecure masculinity that’s what this is about

Liberal Democrats @libdems.org.uk · 13h

We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform.

We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain.

If you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats.

Ed Davey writes to disillusioned conservatives:
Dear friends,

Our country is at a crossroads.

The Conservative Party under Kemi Badenoch is becoming more extreme and out of touch, chasing Nigel Farage instead of focusing on the issues that really matter to people. Meanwhile, Reform UK is growing in strength - threatening the tolerant, decent values that hold our communities together.

I know many One Nation Conservatives are deeply concerned about the lurch to the hard right in our country and under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership. Her plans to tear up the Climate Change Act and withdraw from the ECHR show she is abandoning traditional British values of tolerance, decency and the rule of law.

So my message to the millions of One Nation Conservatives who feel let down by their party and reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is to come and join us. Help us save our country and defend the values we all hold dear.

We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform. We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain.

So if you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats.

With best wishes,

Ed Davey
