An exile happy to be in this new land. Looking to explore and understand this crazy world and help others when I can. Pro EU, Ukraine, NHS and democracy! Where is Leveson II? 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇸🇩

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

.. Remember FPV stands for First Person View, i.e. the drone operator sees the drone's view and therefore makes a deliberate choice as to what to hit. Russia made the ludicrous claim this⬇️ FPV hit was because the guy's truck was once used by the army😡 bsky.app/profile/twmc...

Stiff competition but this has to be one of the most sick videos of the day. In the centre of free Kherson, a clear example of Russia's human safari. A 52 year old civilian, at a market. Incredibly he survived, but suffered shrapnel wounds and concussion. #RussiaIsATerroristState

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

Nigel Farage has made his clearest admission that he was in talks to return to lead Reform UK months before the 2024 general election, casting fresh doubt on previous claims that he was not involved in politics when he received a £5m gift.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Members of the Democratic Socialists of America, the country’s largest socialist organization, recently gathered in Chicago at a moment of surging political influence. Our reporter Kellen Browning went to the DSA’s national summit to learn more about the group’s new platform. nyti.ms/4z0iFAE

So interesting 💭 "Relighting 'Nighthawks' - bit.studio reimagines Edward Hopper's classic artwork, turning the most crucial element, the 'light,' into something you can actually control!" The exhibit is held at the bit.studio gallery on the 3rd floor, Slowcombo building in Samyan, Bangkok. #art

This is utterly dispicable "The UK Home Office has started stripping some EU citizens of their post-Brexit residency rights, in a move that has raised concerns about Britain’s compliance with its withdrawal agreement with Europe" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

EU citizens in UK get letters telling them post-Brexit residency rights were given ‘in error’

After years of building lives in UK, potentially thousands of EU citizens could be told they have no right to remain
