The US government is putting a bounty on my head! #AchievementUnlocked
17 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Pretty insane new memo from AG Bondi instructs DOJ to create cash bounty system for information on domestic terrorists--which are overwhelmingly right-wing-- like "Antifa-aligned extremists” promoters of “radical gender ideology.”

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

We were attacked by fascists on Saturday.

On Saturday, the Aberdeen Trades Union Council held its annual St Andrew's Day parade along with community groups and refugees. It was explicitly a march against fascism, so we were expecting fascists to show up. And they did.

Here's the unvarnished reality of yesterday's pharmaceutical trade deal with the USA: Labour caved in. Folded. Blew it.

To avoid Trump's tariffs, they have committed the NHS to paying very significantly more for new drugs ie all the lifesaving medicines of the future.
