Bisognava arrivare al voto per scoprire che Conte non è un alleato ma un competitor. Che si è fottuto due regioni senza offrire nulla in cambio. Che sta svuotando il PD facendone una ridotta socialpopulista, euroscettica e filorussa. Che con lui la sinistra perderà prima l’anima e poi le elezioni.

Everything the pro-Trump billionaire Ellison family will now own: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central And more... With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told. Shameful.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Joe Rogan suddenly acting like he was an innocent bystander for years and had no idea what Trump was all about until now and did nothing to help get him elected is pretty weak and pathetic. Just own it.

Il senso di allearsi con un tizio che non è disposto al compromesso, anche qualora esca secondo e non vincitore alle primarie? Un'alleanza in cui il partito più forte deve subordinarsi al più piccolo che alleanza è? Qualcuno può spiegarlo a Schlein e al PD? Qualche vecchio democristiano d'antan?

Ok, è importante che le cose siano chiare: se vincerà il campo Lavrov, chiunque sia il Premier, l'Italia non invierà più armi all'Ucraina. C'è chi reputa il supporto all'Ucraina il tema centrale per decidere a chi dare il proprio voto. Io sono tra questi. Andate al diavolo.

£72 million from 2 individuals - both of whom have faced questions about money laundering, both of whom live/d overseas to avoid tax - is not compatible with democracy. I don't care if it's Reform, Labour or whoever. We can't function like this. Not for long. So how do we fix it? My plan:

The fact the UK has not placed any mechanism to stop foreign influence and interference in the democratic process, especially after Brexit is mind bogglingly incompetent. The fact Reform exists and Farage is still free, is proof of that failure.

APPLEBAUM: The idea that Russia, by invading Ukraine, was somehow preventing NATO expansion is ridiculous. Particularly when this invasion created more anxiety, rearmament, and strengthening of NATO than anything else could've done. NATO has new members now, Sweden and Finland.
