UK Chancellor, Rachel #Reeves flies to US to kiss #Trump’s ring and get into bed with the fascists.

She wants to let #Musk, #Bezos and #Zuckerberg pay less tax, risk our children’s safety watering down online safety bill and who knows what in terms of freedom of speech…just so we can sell a few Rolls Royces and Aston Martins to the US tech bros.

Did Parliament get to see the draft?

The Guardian · Reeves flies to US to push Trump to sign trade agreementBy Kiran Stacey

"Billionaires Are Actually Good"
- Stephen Colbert feat. Alan Cumming
youtube.com/watch?v=5J-9JzV5wf

"Stephen Colbert performs a special song for the richest people in the world, in the hopes of getting them out of our lives for good. Special thanks to Alan Cumming for hopping on the track!"

The music video starts at apx 2:00 if you want to skip the intro.

I love Seth #Rogen for saying this to #Zuckerberg, #Altman, & #Bezos, & how craven that it was edited out: “It’s amazing that others [who have been] in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American #science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy w/$320m & #RFK Jr, very fast.” The science is deeply personal for him & Lauren, who created #HFC, a foundation for #caregivers whose loved ones have #dementia.

The Guardian · Seth Rogen attack on Trump edited out of science awards show coverageBy Andrew Pulver

Gayle King is quick in defending her space trip.
She doesn't seem to be as eloquent when it comes to Black female scientists being fired by the Trump administration, supported by Bezos.

She refuses to see she's just the token Black woman used to justify billionaires' support of racist and misogynistic policies but we're not blind.

This is a touch odd. Everyone can see American billionaire led coup erasing women at NASA, firing women scientists, taking down photos of female astronauts, and everyone hates it, and sees billionaires putting "celebrity" women and a fiance on a rocket.

Like flowers instead not cheating, its just so laughably typical.

The Guardian noticed celebrities didnt like it either.
