‘International law? Screw it.’

‘International institutions? Screw it.’

‘Multilateral agreements? Screw it.’

@lewisgoodall.com thinks Donald Trump is the first post-war president to misunderstand what US power is for and warns, ‘we can’t trust this guy.’

4.3 million children are in poverty

Having personally worked on this programme, I can tell you the scale of disinfo on the platform is incredible.

Also a gentle reminder, opinions ≠ facts.
Zuckerberg will soon "get rid of" fact-checkers across Meta platforms. He massively confuses fact-checking with "censorhip" 👇. Seems Meta will soon become the same cesspool of hate and misinformation as X. Well done Mark - more BlueSky users incoming!
