Sorry for the plug but I feel obliged to reshare this. Farage told a podcast before running for election: “There’s no money in politics, there’s no money if you’re straight [i.e. not corrupt]." Around the time he got £5 million from a crypto billionaire before going on to back crypto deregulation.

Ik heb zin om Markuszower zijn huid vol te schelden, maar dat doe ik niet. Ik vraag alleen de fiscus vriendelijk de geldstromen naar zijn rekeningen grondig te onderzoeken. Met name de dollars afkomstig uit de enige democratie in het Midden Oosten.

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Where’s the fury about rightwing antisemitism? The newspapers that call out leftwing antisemitism publish antisemitic cartoons and champion politicians with a record of antisemitic statements. So who is holding *them* to account? This week’s column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

No one should get a free pass on antisemitism – so why does the right?

There is legitimate scrutiny of antisemitism on the left, but at the same time, rightwing media outlets offend with impunity. That makes no sense, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

That so much of the West has little to no snowpack left is mind-boggling. "Snowpack, the western US’s largest non-man made reservoir, is already gone in many places...This year’s peak snowpack will be the new benchmark low for Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico; there are no comparable years."
