The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

This is Brutal reality check by Iran 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Hegseth at 10:00 AM : Entire world knows Iran is the clear aggressor. 🇮🇷 Iran at 10:05 AM : Shut up. The entire world knows who started the war, starting with blowing up our school and killing 168 children. 🔥 Absolute lie exposed by Iran 🇮🇷

May 4, 1970, 56 years ago. The Ohio National Guard murdered 4 people and wounded 9 others, leaving at least one with permanent paralysis. Republican Governor James Rhodes sent them. It was murder, never forget.
Murders at Kent State. May 4, 1970.

Significant food shortages in the U.S. are expected to become more noticeable by fall 2026, with the winter of 2026-2027 likely to see the tightest supplies. Key factors causing this include high fertilizer costs, Western drought conditions affecting crops, and a historic reduction in cattle herds

Politico: Zelenskyy is preparing for a future with less U.S. support, after spending much of the past year trying to win over Trump. Now he is looking to partners like Türkiye for negotiations and relying more on Europe.

I think most of the public are horrified that MPs continue to defend the idea they can get drunk at work and then go to vote. Lots of people work hard. It's incredibly out of touch from Labour MPs in particular.

"No one could stop the US raiding modern shipping, but it doesn't because it knows it benefits far more from unmolested maritime trade than any potential piracy spoils", used to be my go-to example illustrating how international law works. Will need to update with a "fucking idiot" caveat.

Trump pulling 5000 American troops from Germany right after talking to Putin is no coincidence. It is a massive strategic blow that heavily weakens US force projection across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. He is outright sabotaging the US
