Yes, it's broken Britain, where deluded self-styled patriots are manipulated into believing they're taking back a country that never really existed, from an imaginary enemy who didn't take it away, to benefit populist demagogues who don't care about people other than themselves.

Go ahead and slam journalists when they deserve it. I certainly do. But also realize that New York Times journalists Declan Walsh and Arlette Bashizi willingly traveled to an Ebola ward in the Democratic Republic of Congo in order to inform the world. Many journalists are heroes. (NYT gift link)

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

My Dutch friend told me yesterday that, in the Netherlands, these are known as engelse drop (‘English liquorice’) and I think this might be the most patriotic I’ve ever felt in my life.

I don’t know if there’s anything in "The Art of the Deal" about negotiating with a foreign power by using the strategy of shitting your pants and running away, because I haven't read "The Art of the Deal." There again, neither has Donald Trump.

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

When you roll back voting rights, rewrite slavery in textbooks, purge Black leadership from government jobs, deny Black farmers resources, and criminalize Black political organizing - that’s not “policy disagreement.” That’s suppression. Yes: this is an assault. Systemic. Coordinated. Relentless.

Deploring Israel's actions as a state isn't antisemitic. Attacking Jews and symbols of Jewish culture in supposed retaliation for Israel's actions is however *textbook* antisemitism and these are not complicated thoughts to simultaneously hold in one's head.

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

At seven years old, Pirata has only just learnt to sit on command. Why? Because until a few months ago, she was kept on a chain by her owner for YEARS. Here in my shelter, where she’s safe and loved, she’s very proud to show off her new skill.
