Elon Musk salute drawn on #Welsh beach in Tesla protest
The "world’s biggest anti-Elon #Musk #protest" has been staged on a #beach in #Wales.
Campaign group #LedByDonkeys used a #Tesla to rake out the words "DON’T BUY A TESLA" alongside an image of Musk giving a #Nazi salute.
The message was created on Black Rock sands near #Porthmadog in Wales, and is supposedly visible from space.

Trump is testing waters on Ukraine to see how far he can go elsewhere
A ‘win’ in #Ukraine may lead Trump to act in #Gaza, #Canada or #Greenland
Globally #Trump’s focus is cooperating with world’s leading #autocracies & #oligarchies to get #US get richer at the expense of just about everyone else.
In part, this is because the Trump administration is testing the waters to see just how far and how rapidly it can go.

Trump turning America into #MafiaState
The pattern is inescapable with 1 caveat: #OrganisedCrime bosses occasionally display honour
Behold Donald #Corleone, US president who behaves as a #mafia boss – but without principles
One hesitates to make the comparison, as Trump would like it. And because the Godfather is archetype of strength, macho glamour while #Trump is weak, constantly handing gifts to America’s enemies & receiving nothing

Let’s be clear: #Zelensky didn’t walk into a discussion. He walked into a trap
The Oval Office meeting between #Trump #Zelensky wasn’t just a diplomatic disaster — it was a setup
From the moment Zelensky walked into the room, stage had already been set. This wasn’t about serious discussions on aid or strategy
The only person who really benefits from this? Vladimir #Putin.

Zelensky won’t sign natural resource deal that ‘will be paid by 10 generations of Ukrainians’
#Zelensky pushed back at the U.S. #demand for a $500 billion fund financed with #Ukrainian natural resource revenue, saying that the U.S.’s aid #grants are not debts
Latest draft presented #demanded $500 billion of #Ukraine’s natural #resources, including critical #minerals, to recuperate American aid to #Ukraine

US mineral deal offers no security guarantees for Ukraine
Terms of revised draft are virtually the same as an earlier version rejected by #Zelensky, the NYT reported. In some cases, the US #demands are even more stringent
The agreement demands 50% of revenues from Ukraine’s natural resources, including critical #minerals, #oil, & #gas, as well as stakes in ports and other key infrastructure

It’s straight from the Trump playbook: #Labour is tearing up the machinery of government
This might sound astonishing, but the #UK government’s core programme now appears to be the same as Donald #Trump’s: dismantling the administrative state.
There’s less theatre, but the results could prove harder to contest. Absurd? Consider the evidence.

Why Billionaires Should Not Exist
An economic system that allows #billionaires #immoral
We're at #obscene #inequality #crisis, where wealth is limited to a powerful few, costing crippling hardship, precarity, & no well-being
When 1 billionaire earns more in 10 seconds than employees make in 1 yr, & workers can't meet basic cost of #rent & #medicine, then yes, every billionaire is a policy failure. Here’s why

How Trump 2.0 could herald a new age of #AuthoritarianCapitalism
#Trump’s weaponisation of US power poses a threat to peace, prosperity & the planet. It must be strongly resisted
After 4 years of narrowly avoiding #prison, Trump is back in the White House. For many observers outside the US, the re-election of a #convicted #felon who tried to illegally overturn an #election is baffling
