So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to... -Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts -Replace civil servants with his own cronies -Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems See the problem?

The real story after the tariffs are imposed is to watch who Trump gives waivers to, and what they did to get them.

It’s been a while. I’m here in London, my home. I just have to remember that we are safe. For now. But the time is ticking. 2029 is not far. And unlike in the US, over here an election can be called early. The bad actors have their eyes on all of us. ALL OF US.

It’s been a few days… Apparently Gen Z males show more support for Trump (US) and Farage (UK). As a Gen Z male, this baffles me. But maybe now people who look for balanced, trustworthy sources and don’t fall for misinformation on social media, are in the minority…

Yep, you got it right. Who knew that the Dear Leader had double standards?!!

They all walk free now. Every single one of them. It’s sick.

I felt for her, because she really seemed like she wanted to prove herself during that hearing, but she knew one word too truthful would get her out. I’d rather she SAY the things that appease the Dear Leader so she gets the chance to DO some good.

it’s clearly these people who loot, kill and riot that win. Not the people with grace and dignity. Maybe we should all just give up. I don’t know. Part of me wishes the whole world could wake up from this nightmare to the voice of stability, strength and decency back as a guiding light. (4/4)

And yet they walk free, records clean, like it never happened. It sickens me to the pit of my stomach. It’s just so damn demoralizing. The sad thing is history is written by the winners. And if Musk gets his way, it won’t be long till they win here too. I just don’t know what’s next. (3/4)

This (below) is just abhorrent and sickening. All of them are free. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Even the Proud Boys who organized it. Most have their records wiped clean too. It’s like it never happened. It’s like what they did was okay. They stormed the Capitol and killed service members. (2/4)

@politicsgirl.bsky.social Imma take a leaf out of your book and just rant. 🧵 I don’t know why I’m so angry. I’m in the UK. My family asks me why I care so much. But what happens in the US affects us all. The whole world, but we have no say. Thought it couldn’t get worse then I saw this. (1/4)

You yourself look truly presidential, Leigh. Don’t stop. Keep running. Aim higher. You deserve it.

This makes me sick. There is a preacher screaming into the microphone to bless 🍊, screaming and crying and smiling widely as if possessed by some spirit.

I can see Biden-Harris just sitting there while the others give a standing ovation. Harris has her hands crossed, her signature sarcastic look on her face. As Trump talks about common sense, Biden visibly has to stop himself from bursting out laughing. This is the kind of pettiness I’m here for…

They actually did it. They actually swore him in. Part of me couldn’t believe it. And Kamala just sat there. Smiling. Clapping. She must be in a world of pain. #inauguration

So today is the day. Don’t know whether to watch or not. They say don’t watch it, but I couldn’t miss out on the ironic humor of it all. I guess laughing at him makes it easier. But as Ezra Klein so brilliantly said, they think all attention is good attention, so…? #inauguration

I just realized. He said he’d be a dictator on day one. That day is almost here. That day has almost come. To all my friends in the #USA, who didn’t want this day to come, didn’t vote for it, and are dreading it, here’s a British college student for moral support. Do reach out :-) #inauguration

I just saw the @scifri.bsky.social account and until now I thought that show (and Ira Flatow) were just out of #tbbt. I didn’t know they were real! Well… TIL.

I get that people feel nostalgia for the past. I get that people are struggling right now. I get that times are hard and #costofliving is high and wages low. We had our run with #populism and by the end of it, we were disappointed and outraged. They always overpromise and underdeliver. (3/3)

First it was #twitter (or #xitter if you like.) Next came #meta and now #tiktok. Glad to see this app is here. But I really do miss how things used to be. Back when Twitter was a wholesome site where people were coming together to spread positivity. (2/3)

So over here in the UK we’ve been watching from the sidelines… luckily there’s still time till the next election but #Musk is trying to buy us out too. I’m worried about the #misinformation being spread on every place where we’ve been communicating… (1/3)

Ok I think I made a typo… the “and” was not supposed to be there. I’m a perfectionist… sue me.

I’ve never played Half Life, but I have played Portal. I know they’re similar.

So I’ve decided that as a citizen of the UK and the world, how things are run is my business just like everyone else’sAnd . So I’m gonna be talking #politics. First opinion, Trump being name dropped on the #tiktok ban screen and the “we’re back” message gives me icky “dear leader” vibes

I like the skeumorphism of the Bluesky icon. Reminds me of better days.
