Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Death and destruction ...
PART OF THE ANTI-CHRISTS PLAN !!!
NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities
McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.
Trust... but verify. As a President once said.
Ha! 🐶
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
Will there be commemorative China? #AndrewMountbattenWindsor #PrinceAndrew #Epstein

@privateeyenews.bsky.social Number Crunching?
For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏
The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.
2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America?
2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America?
2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?
@wrexhamuni.bsky.social Really refreshing to see Wrexham Uni on Bluesky but no longer actively maintaining X. A principled decision. Wish more institutions would follow, it would make transition easier!
David Peck in the EU and I have written on this in relation to UK strategy... I think language is important. Would also love to explore!
@watershedlab.bsky.social @adrianaguatame.bsky.social I think that the problem with minerals as a term, is that it puts the focus on primary extraction, personally prefer Critical Materials as a broader term that lends itself also to circular economy and secondary resources.
A great conversation about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 - United States 🇺🇸 Critical Materials Deal just broadcast on
Asharq News, Asharq Bloomberg Business.
Great talking to Nadia Bsat about Rare Earths and our work at
@unibirmingham.bsky.social #BCSECM & @ifmcambridge.bsky.social.
Some great discussions about our work at @unibirmingham.bsky.social, University of Birmingham Business School, Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials #BCSECM and @cam.ac.uk, Institute for Manufacturing & Cambridge Industrial Resilience Group.
After a Parliamentary Address by Perran Moon MP, it was great to hear the presentations from Jeff Townsend of the Critical Minerals Association (UK), Mike Hill from the Department for Business and Trade, Bruce Adderley at Innovate UK and Andrew Thake from Resourcing Tomorrow.
A hearty thanks to Perran Moon MP and the All Party Parliamentary Group on #CriticalMinerals for the invitation to a Parliamentary Breakfast hosted at the Terrace Pavilion, House of Commons.
Really enjoyed filming this week as a guest on another episode of #TRTWorld Roundtable with Enda Brady. Great to talk about our research at @unibirmingham.bsky.social #BCSECM @UoB_Business ... more to follow next week... watch this space...

The fucking irony of a party themed on The Great Gatsby - a novel they’ve obviously never read.….
Grateful to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on #CriticalMinerals for the opportunity to engage on behalf of the @unibirmingham.bsky.social Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials with their recent meeting at the Palace of Westminster.

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.
Screenshot of a post by Bernie Sanders. It lists money that Donald Trump has received in 2025. $3 billion: mostly from crypto $940 million: law firms $400 million plane: Qatar $36 million: CBS $25 million: Meta $24 million: YouTube $16 million: ABC $10 million: X Now $230 million from DOJ?
That we know of.
This is now the second-longest government shutdown of any kind ever in the history of our country.
The two longest shutdowns in US history both while Trump was in office.
He is the common denominator. That needs to start being the headline.
I guess people had short memories.
