Bucking the trend Father Ted by getting more left wing as I get older. Irish with Scottish heritage but prefer talking to fighting. #FBPI #FBPE. โSilence in the face of evil is evil itselfโ - Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Oh and more woke than a sticky woke thing.

It says a lot about the current state of the USA that Trump is still President.
Psst: My book is now available in the U.K. today.
I spent two of the happiest years of my life as a graduate student there, studying economics and philosophy.
It brings back some fond memories... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/psst-my-book-available-in-the-uk
Release the Trumpstein files.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing โdeath, physical abuse, or injuryโ from Epstein files release.
When Trump says "we make a lot of money," he's talking about his Big Oil donors.
They spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024, and the investment is paying off quite well for them.
Oligarchy in action.
Has he bunged up the toilet again!..
Weโve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. Thatโs such a bad thing. But you know whatโs even worse? Way, way too many people donโt care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.๐
Funny how America's voting system worked perfectly well for 44 previous presidents and only went bad when King Donald the Mad lost an election.
Never forget
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's war on Iran:
NO PREPARATION
NO PLANNING
NO STRATEGY
NO DEPLOMACY
Just brute military force.
MASSIVE MISTAKE.
This is what happens when our government has incompetent Trump loyalists in charge of the decisions.
Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year โ including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts โ and paid ZERO federal income tax.
It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America.

Lots of questions.
You couldnโt make this up:
Russia helps Iran kill Americans. Ukraine helps the US shoot down Iranian drones.
Russia gets sanctions removed, and Ukraine gets blamed.
Treasonous behavior by Trump once again
Iran has officially pulled out of the World Cup, stating that conditions in the US are not safe for players or fans.
More countries must follow suit.
The US will only respond to public pressure and financial retaliation.
Boycott the World Cup.
Boycott the Olympics.
Boycott America.
U.S. Democratic Socialists 1dใป THANK YOU to the small South Carolina newspaper that was able to verify 16 of the claims made by Trump's teen r*pe accuser, so far... Hey national media: With all your resources, why couldn't YOU do this? STEP THE F**K UP.
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of 'highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat' while increasing the power of working-class men."
Remind me again why Labour is shoving vast public contracts down its throat?
Who would have guessed

Reform UK is MAGA light.
Nigel Farage has tied himself to Donald Trump, and canโt escape it.
From DOGE, to Orr, to ICE, to Iran, where Trump goes, Nigel follows.
BREAKING: Kash Patel has obtained an intact Iranian drone on a California beach. Worryingly, it bears the words "Made in Iran" and "Death to America" written in marker pen. He blew up a nearby fishing boat just to be safe.

The British public has been robbed - and our waters polluted to an extreme - and STILL Labour are refusing to renationalise water, disgraceful
Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "What makes America special right now is our lethal capacities. Our ability to fight war."
โTo the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse. A man who tried to overthrow an election.
And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted forโฆโ ๐
There IS a compelling argument for #RejoinEU. It will not be straight forward, of course, but it's time we restarted the conversation.
Let's learn from our mistake and not be too proud to admit it.
