I really am going to be very consistent here in that Bannon and the fascist movement have been talking about their goals being to eventually use musk as a villain to create the appearance that they are pro social and anti capital. If they go through with this we are going to be in deep trouble. 1/

The unbelievable condescension we’re already seeing today towards working class people- suggesting they don’t travel to Europe or their kids might not want to go to university and study in Europe- is quite something to behold.

I am curious how BTP are going to decide who is trans and who isn’t, for their male officers to strip search. If you aren’t carrying an I.D with your gender on, what’s their criteria to determine the right of a man to strip search a female-presenting person?

Israeli settlers tried to murder Hamdan Ballal today, and now he’s missing after the IDF kidnapped him from the ambulance he was in. No one knows where he is. All this is targeted. The US and others have censored this film despite it winning an Oscar.

Under-22s with long-term illnesses or disabilities will no longer be able to claim health top-up on universal credit under UK govt plans. 66,000 18 to 21-year-olds will lose it. People can't easily see GP, dentist, get access to hospital but will lose benefit. This is reckless and brutal.

UK govt hits the disabled with £6bn welfare cuts. 4m people will face real-terms income loss. Even those with extreme disabilities in the unfit to work category are likely to lose money. Inflicting misery is a political choice. Insist on meeting your MP to protest.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

One thing got missed in that disgusting embarrassing exchange between a respected President and two wannabe mafia thugs…Vance admitted Russia invaded Ukraine.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Imagine after 9/11, the UK’s first call was to Bin Laden saying “both sides must compromise”. Imagine in 1941, FDR called Churchill & said US support is conditional on taking 50% of UK’s coal, steel & agriculture industries. Trump is a historic disgrace.

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

Think one of the indications from Vance's visit is that it is now the "MAGA International" , rather than "Trumpism in One Country", and we should be wary of all thst entails.
