A reminder of the story behind the woeful Americanisation and decimation of an iconic British Brand, Cadbury, that was so much more than just a brand of chocolate, but also a proud British project for social improvement. apple.news/AROmsXsYiR2m...

A thread on how U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) wargamed an Insurrection Act invocation scenario just five weeks after Trump's second inauguration...and how subsequent DoD actions raise the specter of military involvement in connection with the 2026 midterms.

Patrick G. Eddington@pgeddington.bsky.social · 2d ago

A week after Trump issued his "national emergency" proclamation for the southern border, the military began planning for a potential invocation of the Insurrection Act & much more. Another major #FOIA get, out now. cc: @radleybalko.bsky.social @cjciaramella.bsky.social www.cato.org/blog/northco...

BLITZER: Why is Israel, another country, your red line right now, rather than a domestic issue that impacts Americans' everyday lives? FETTERMAN: Yeah, absolutely. And I agree with a lot of Democrats too. I called trash Platner.

This plane landed in Myanmar about three hours ago. This is the third ICE flight to Myanmar this year. Burmese deportees in 2025 were immediately sent to a torture facility next to the airport, according to Myanmar Now. Weeks later, not all of them had emerged.

Trump: "Everybody saw the vandalism. All you have to do is look at the tape." (There is no tape. Trump is nuts.)

I myself believe we should be excellent to each other but with rights come responsibilities, and these include quite harsh social and professional consequences for people in elite professions who spend their careers working to make Britain worse, nastier and more cruel, in their own interests.

Donald Trump’s Worst Deal

The President helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered by oligarchs tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

When it comes to Trump’s money laundering, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The Trump Soho laundered Russian mob money. Trump Panama laundered drug cartel money. Trump Azerbaijan laundered Iranian Revolutionary Guard money. Florida real estate was used to launder Russian oligarch money.

This is the most ridiculous timeline.

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · yesterday

What's revealing here is that Iran and Oman are negotiating what is essentially a shared hormuz toll ("service fee") agreement. So the US is moving pretty rapidly to treat a post-war toll system as a given. 'Come up with an agreement on tolls or we'll attack!!' In other words, a massive defeat.

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.
