Just to be clear, this dangerous, yet ridiculous, fascist propaganda is depicting Donald Trump, not as Julius Caesar, but as Caligula.

An impactful read from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social; the first book I’ve picked up in quite some time that I couldn’t put down. I’d put this high on the list of required reading for 2025 if we’re to cultivate a strong understanding of how we got here, and how we move forward. Some excerpts:

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Fact check: Only 63.9% of registered voters voted in 2024. Of the votes cast, only 49.8% were for Trump. That means Trump only got 31.8% support from the American electorate — much smaller than what gets reported. Hardly a mandate, considering 68.2% of registered voters did not vote for Trump.

1. European and UK ministers are still talking as if their biggest potential security problem is a withdrawal of US support. But that is not their biggest potential security problem. It’s that, under Trump, the US will back Putin not just diplomatically but also militarily. 🧵

They tell themselves it can’t happen here. That the courts will save us, that institutions will hold, that this is just another election. But history doesn’t wake the sleepwalkers gently. It shatters them.

Republicans back young man with Trump surname even though he's never said a word about anything in public. So don't tell me this isn't just a mindless cult blindly associated with the name Trump.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

I went to sleep sick over this move to bring independent agencies to presidential heel, and wake up to see ... basically nothing about it on social media. This seems like a big effin' deal. Am I missing something? #lawsky #academicsky

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.
