Trump’s obeisance to Putin has been established beyond even the vaguest scintilla of doubt; the possibility of another January 6-style assault on US democracy after/during the mid-terms is clearly acute and ‘we’ are still wary of calling fascism fascism. These are the moments…

If you’re thinking that *this time* they will have to admit Trump’s depravity & their hideous folly in supporting him. Then I’m afraid you’re in for another nasty surprise…

A child had to watch their father get shot by ICE. Our babies deserve to be kids. Not live in fear. Not locked in cages. And not be caught in gunfire while in the back seat of a car. This rogue ICE agency is out of control. Enough.

Donald Trump is unfit for office. Full stop. Let’s be clear: pushing for the death of the very people you swore to protect is dangerous, reckless, and a betrayal of your oath. The American people deserve better.

“Whether policies, polls or performances, the gulf between the reality I think I inhabit and the world according to Kemi seems almost inconceivably enormous, and yet so complete is her belief in her own brilliance that I frequently find myself checking whether my own memory of events is accurate.”

Our kids are being hogtied, handcuffed, and tased in our schools. Keeping them safe should be the bare minimum. I am urging our Texas leaders to exercise immediate oversight and ensure accountability for these horrific reported actions. This is unacceptable, and it has to stop.

A second Brexit referendum is a truly stupid idea. Straight to rejoin. No fucking about. There’s no logical argument, economic or otherwise, for not rejoining. The British electorate has proven that they don’t have a clue and are easily duped by disinformation campaigns and foreign interference.

Fascinated by the Jack Smith/Eric Schmitt thing because I can’t grasp how desperate you would need to be to ‘own’ an opponent to end up in such a humiliating mess. I ‘think’ it’s because Trump loyalists have been so grossly dishonest that they have to convince themselves that the other lot are too.
