In ten years time Elon Musk will live in a hermetically sealed penthouse apartment, too obese to leave even if he wanted to. His only companion Trump's brain in a jar, hooked up to a voice box, that makes small screeching noises every 42 seconds and occasionally tells jokes

If ever there was a symptom of a nation's stark decline, it's having a deranged conspiracy-addled freak like RFK Jr. in charge of your health policy, or anywhere near government. The Trump regime really is the last gasp of weird old white guys clinging to power, privilege and the past.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community. We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect? Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

Oh yeah it's Good Friday, when all the right-wing fake Christians who've spent the rest of the year making the lives of the poor, the sick, the disabled, the marginalized and the desperate as miserable as possible tell us how much they love Jesus. #HappyEaster

It's a shame Gore Vidal isn't around today, you can only imagine what he would make of America's latest nosedive into corruption and self-destruction. He would destroy Trump and his grotesque gallery of freaks with one elegant, devastating paragraph and a raised eyebrow.

Neoliberalism is the road to fascism. Every tool that Trump is using was gifted to him by Democrats.

Your bills are going up because this government would rather protect the profits of a few corporations than the livelihoods of millions of ordinary people. End this outrageous rip-off, and take water and energy into public ownership now.

Wall Street is admitting that human extinction is likely, and instead of trying to stop it, their primary concern is maintaining their profits. "We now expect a 3°C world," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote earlier this month, citing "recent setbacks to global decarbonization efforts."

Starmer "likes and respects" Trump, apparently. If you like and respect a racist sexual predator and wannabe fascist dictator, then your moral compass isn't just broken, it's smashed to pieces.

Criticising Zelenskyy for not crawling up Trump's rectum like Starmer is to make virtues of spinelessness and cowardice.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Finally got round to watching The Banshees of Inisherin last night, and what a joy it was. Like an episode of Father Ted written by Ingmar Bergman, it's in turn funny, moving and horrifying with amazing performances from Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan. Existential despair never looked this good.

People are always like, “you gotta be nice.” Nice don’t do shit. Nice gets you no where. Nice is what the rich want, as they act like psychopathic murderers and explorers. Nice didn’t get them where they are and it won’t get you anywhere either. Nice is compliance with fascism.

1. Trump nominates bizarre/sinister/batshit/wholly unsuitable cronies for top government positions. 2. They appear before a committee of Senators who establish beyond doubt that the nominees are bizarre/sinister/ batshit and wholly unsuitable for top government positions. 3. Cronies are appointed.

Never mind Canada, if you watch BBC News you'd certainly think the UK was the 51st state. Their rolling news is obsessed with American politics and breathlessly reports every fart and belch from the unflushable orange turd. I wouldn't mind, but the actual reporting is so basic and unquestioning.

Yet more performative cruelty. This means someone who fled for their life 25 yrs ago, got refugee status in the UK, and has been part of their community here ever since - maybe married, had kids, started a business - can never be a citizen. That’s not right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump thinks he's making America look strong and impressive on the world stage. In reality, the notion that the US is a declining, hopelessly divided nation facing political crisis and run by a swaggering old mob boss with borderline dementia is being reinforced more strongly every day.

The unfolding horror of the Musk-Trump administration is not a ghastly aberration of US political culture, but rather its apogee. It is what the US embrace of capitalism is in essence, once all the empty rhetoric of "freedom" has been discarded. This is how it was always intended, its pure form.

Now "Labour" is making cruel little films showing immigrants being bundled on to a plane. Starmer thinks he can see off Reform by becoming Reform. He is a moral vacuum, devoid of principles, possessing zero integrity. There are no depths to which he, and Cooper, will not sink. Truly shameful.

Is there a more loathsome creature in British politics than Peter Mandelson? Watching him slither across the Atlantic to attach himself to Trump's anus was horrifying and nauseating in equal measure. Absolutely no one voted to free the Dark Lord from his crypt to shame the UK abroad. And Epstein?!😳

Trump and the broligarchs want to facilitate an economic and political crisis in the US, which he hopes will lead to civil unrest severe enough that he "suspends" democratic elections and introduces martial law (one of the reasons Hegseth was elevated). It really is a fascist coup.

“The US will take over the Gaza Strip,” Trump declared, “and we’ll do a job with it, too. We’ll own it.” Ethnic cleansing, genocide, real estate, 'corporate charity' are all components of disaster capitalism.

That Trump is normalising the notion of a forcible eviction of an entire people from a patch of Middle Eastern land does not seem to bother Netanyahu. Caught up in his genocidal mania, he cannot even discern what a lethal notion this is for Israeli Jews. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

DOGE is the enactment of Musk's crazy anarcho-capitalist ideals. His problem is he spectacularly fails to grasp how most MAGA voted Trump, not to dismantle the state but to seek its protection from globalisation, mass immigration etc. Musk is about to crash and burn & frankly, I'm here for it

The world gathers to say 'never again' as it marks the 80th anniversary of the holocaust. Meanwhile, it is happening again. It is the same who gather to remember, who support Israel in their current genocide. This word is broken.

For years it didn't really bother me. I thought that denial, fantasy and the greedy acceptance of even the most outlandish conspiracy theories was as good a coping mechanism as any in the face of the climate crisis and our looming extinction. Unfortunately these loons are now in control. #Doomed
