Trump is charging 10% tariffs on UK goods & 20% on EU goods. It was estimated that 20% tariffs would cost UK 0.8% GDP. So let's say today's tariffs will cost 0.4%. So Brexit saved us 0.4% in US trade, but cost us 4% in EU trade. Anyone calling Trump tariffs a "Brexit Success" CAN'T FUCKING COUNT!

I wondered for a while why Trump was so excited by Brexit, even to the point of getting Farage to fluff him. It was simple, really: proof that, with the support of enough bent media, bad people selling bigotry & lies really could persuade people to vote to punch themselves in the face forever.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Trump calling for the impeachment of a judge who ruled against him. Calling him “crooked.” If this isn’t fascistic, what is? (Also, the media will sanewash this but anyone else who talks or writes like this would be sent to one of the mental asylums Trump thinks migrants are coming from!)

As the Gaza body count increases, I wonder how all these supposed 'leftists' & self-styled 'contrarians' who berated me for not applauding Trump for bringing about a 'ceasefire' and 'peace' feel today. Like fools, I hope. Because they are indeed fools: they believed Trump.

Now more than 300. Including children and even babies. All so Netanyahu can avoid a court date today. Sick stuff from Netanyahu’s Israel, backed by Trump.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Friendly reminder that we are all being manipulated by oligarchs. All of us. Never put your trust in a leader with incredible power ESPECIALLY if you voted for them. Ignore the hate and parties, ignore the media, talk to your neighbor. Love your neighbor.
