upset about trump doing deals for resources but let's be so for real...America has been doing this pretty much the whole time. He's just doing it out loud.
Who would want to live, visit, or work travel in a country where masked goons in unmarked vans can kidnap you and send you to a gulag in el shithole for life? Who? Not me💩
They’re waiting because at least half (probably more like three-quarters) of Congress are in denial. And doing anything other than keeping your head down puts your easy £174k pa salary at risk.
Well we used to be the beacon. Now we're one step away from nazi germany 2.0 I can't believe this is what we've become. What we've allowed to happen. I'm so scared, heartbroken and ashamed of my own country. I truly never thought this could happen here. We were supposed to fight fascism not join it
He is absolutely correct. I just cancelled a trip to the U.S. on the advice of two EU lawyers. I haven’t got as much as parking ticket to my name — BUT I have, verifiably, written things in the past that were not entirely complimentary of the current occupant of the White House; to put it mildly.
Of course fascism. I bet mostly all of the MAGAs at Trump rallies had no idea but they should have because Donald Trump isn't one of them, a regular person! 😠 I don't even think Kidd Rock is a fascist or Jon Voight! 🤣😂🤭
We're in an interregnum period it seems, in the midst of a tyranny between the old, now dead Republic which Maga killed... and what comes next after the trump dictatorship
Study the collapse of the Roman Republic, & the corruption, murders, civil collapse & civil wars before Augustus concentrated power in the hands of the Caesars, & you see an uncomfortable number of similarities.
Including the failed populist land reforms of the Gracchi brothers that would have combatted Rome's rising super-wealthy dipshits like Crassus and Pompey, who ultimately ripped the Republic apart for personal glory
That's one thing where modernity departs from antiquity - there are no US politicians like Tiberius & Gaius. No US politician would ever advocate such a socialistic policy!
#Americans need to look around their circle and have some *serious* talks with the "I'm too busy for politics" crowd. Birth control and abortion are next on the chopping block, ladies, let's fucking go. #usprotests #repost #Handsoff2025 #callyourreps #firedup #mobilize.us #tagthemedia
Don't blame him I wouldn't do any kind of work in the US, cuz we all know eventually they will go for the famous people, the people who are on TV or in the movies
He's a legend. Writes for the Observer paper every Sunday. And his tours are fantastic bloody funny. If you happen to be in the UK for hollibobs this July check him out in London!
Yup! It is fascism.
Rep. Menendez: "They had over 20 armed ICE HSI officers, they were heavily armed, their faces were covered, and they wearing no identification. So this is who they chose to have come engage with the mayor of Newark and 3 elected members of the House of Representatives."
Oh I see a way out. The Constitution has a provision for just this thing. It's pretty early in the doc. Not the first thing... But definitely the second.
I'm a 🇬🇧 who ❤️s the 🇺🇲. I've worked there & visited many times. But no more.
Trump is a criminal arsehole running a fascist regime. & because I've posted this, trump's Gestapo wd think it's fine to round me up & stick me in a gulag.
And instead of flooding the streets every single day, and withdrawing their labour, grinding the USA to a halt & forcing change ... most Americans whine about not wanting to lose their job, even as concentration camps for them are built down the block & their neighbours start to disappear.
There was a running joke that people would see him and think he was someone else but older/fatter. So they'd think, for example:
Terry Christian's let himself go
Morrisey's let himself go
Mark Kermode's let himself go
Etc etc
I can't stand it, someone might think I meant that. That's a Stewart Lee joke. I've been to see him multiple times, I've read his books, and I once completely ignored him while he stood directly in front of me on the tube because I was so embarrassed about how excited I was to see him. #StewartLee
Stewart Lee is one the the funniest, most brilliant comedians I have ever seen in my life. I’ll just leave one word here: sardine. Let me know if you figure out the reference. The man is a genius! A titan!

This regime has broken trust with the world at the most basic levels.
In a global economy.
It will take years to recover. And who pays?
Everyone in the US EXCEPT the very wealthy.
The US a fascist republican shithole
It's up to Americans to rise up and impeach, arrest and jail every member of this administration. AFTER DUE PROCESS
We are victims of a criminal regime.

Western journalism is so completely feckless they're still denying the plain reality in front of them.
We are already deep into a constitutional crisis and a fascist coup/dictatorship.
Of course he wasn't assassinated like the Gracchis, but he was stopped.
It is F🤬ing Fascism!
His last column was in April, & he was on the picket line protesting the sale to Tortoise.
He's not in the Guardian this week,either - Guardian/Observer are now two separate entities.
There is no indication if Stewart is working for one or the other.

Fuck them. Fuck trump. Fuck MAGA.
Here, just sensible
Terry Christian's let himself go
Morrisey's let himself go
Mark Kermode's let himself go
Etc etc
& so would Terry Christian.
