Watching BBC Question time and I’m appalled that the best Zia Yusuf can throw at @zackpolanski.bsky.social is a silly comment about breast enlargement that only sounds bombastic or headline grabbing.
I get it that you are rattled but get a grip man, talk about something that matters! What a waste

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social is there any institution or body that can track the damage they will do and report on it? I think this is essential to bring a bit of balance to the table as there are copycats among European figures who are willing to bring Trump/Musk policies over the Atlantic.
Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA:
- Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies
- Air traffic control support staff
- Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes
- Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly

For anyone who feels confused about how the war in Ukraine was started.
Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House.
Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality.

This is a great piece, excellent ending.
Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe.

The government didn’t really spend £8 billion on ‘woke projects’, as you may have heard this week.
That figure is the total annual budget for UK Research and Innovation. About £10.4 million was awarded to projects the TaxPayers’ Alliance has called “woke”.

The government has not spent £8 billion on ‘woke projects’ - Full Fact
The figure of £8 billion represents the total annual budget for UK Research and Innovation. Funding for projects that the TaxPayers’ Alliance has described as “woke” totals £10.4 million.

The normalisation of his actions and activity by quite a bit of the US and even UK media is a big part of the problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGnt...

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.
