”The key transformation was when Donald Trump got elected. The vast majority of Australians looked at Trump aghast. Day after day after day, we have seen chaos on roller-skates. And most said: look, we may not know what we’re doing, but we’re not doing THAT.” @peterfitz1.bsky.social

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

After MONTHS of shilling for Trump and angrily lecturing that OF COURSE Trump doesn't mean what he says, OF COURSE he's not on Russia's side, OF COURSE he's got Ukraine's back... Johnson now flips, with nary a word to acknowledge that he got this as catastrophically wrong as everything else. ~AA

One of the things that has shocked me writing about British politics for a decade is the hostility to ever spending "MY money" on "OTHER PEOPLE'S children", at the same time as expecting "MY pension" must be everyone's top spending priority. Your kids: your problem. My retirement: also your problem

I'm gripped by the ever-increasing bling in Trump’s Oval Office. What does it mean? Yes, Trump has bad taste. But also something else. Here’s an art historical view. 🧵 1/

I've been a journalist for 25+ years and I'm not sure I've witnessed as much wilful (and v likely coordinated) disinformation from certain corners of the UK media than over past few days. Sun, Mail and Telegraph have been truly awful - and seemingly shameless www.theguardian.com/business/202...

BREAKING: 15 people charged with gambling offences following the gamblegate scandal of the general election, including former Conservative MP and aide to Rishi Sunak, Craig Williams. The sleaze scandal was one of the final nails in the Tory govt’s coffin.

Minimum wage for a 9-5 full time job (40 hours a week) is, as of today, £25,396 a year for anyone over 21. Which is why it's amazing to see journalism jobs requiring a degree, job experience, and driving licence advertised at a "competitive salary" of £22,380. tindlenews.co.uk/careers/jour...

Watched Fox News for an hour. FOUR MINUTES on the economic meltdown, introduced with: "Another promise kept, Trump is tilting US economy in a new direction and it's given directionless Democrats something to complain about." The rest? Biden's mental decline and how much they hate Whoopi Goldberg. 😂

As the article (in thread) says, outsize SUVs cost the public purse more in terms of strain on the infrastructure & pollution, and are far more dangerous for pedestrians & cyclists. Yes, we should tax them and their usage heavily. Why on Earth should the rest of us subsidise this obnoxious trend?

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

Woah. Chief Justice Roberts has issued a rare statement. "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose." Quite a slap-down of Trump.

Overall view, fwiw. US still has a constitutional crisis. And there is still bad and mad stuff happening there. But. The courts are not surrendering, and the crisis may begin to abate. Thereby situation not (yet) hopeless. Still could get (far) worse, of course, but not necessarily so.

I do hope European leaders understand what is happening here. Trump and Putin are carving up Ukraine and making fundamental decisions on the future of Europe--and not a single European leader is taking part in the call.
