Marvellous if the downfall of the oligarch classes whether the Trumps and Musks of this world or the News Barons was brought about by ordinary folk supporting their independent journalists and news.

Critical vote at UN, with Russia/US potentially on one side, France/UK on other. Death knell to transatlantic partnership; definitive break. And, possibly, lead to US rejecting UN altogether (already owes huge arrears). I fear this moment, but UK and France must hold firm. No weasly abstentions.

The US cutting Europe adrift risks creating a strategic rival. Throughout much of US history the greatest threat to the Republic came from well armed Europeans. The costliest battles the US Army ever fought were in Argonne & Ardennes The US security umbrella isn’t philanthropy

I am going with the line that if someone (here Konstantin Kisin) deliberately, as an explicit rhetorical strategy, seeks to "maintain the freedom to replay racist arguments, helping normalise them. " then..yes, they're a racist. This seems very straightforward to me.

Political cruelty is always ultimately the hideous self-indulgence of the comfortably-off. Those that are genuinely suffering are much too busy genuinely suffering to play that ugliest of games.

Read this thread of Trump 🇺🇸 next descent into Putinland. Utterly venal. Rotten to the core. And the U.K. had better stand with France veto on this. Not even the tiniest sign of wavering. No wavering please.

If your instinct tends a bit towards catastrophising - not unreasonable right now - and asserting confidently an opinion along the lines of: "all is lost, US is done, nobody can do a thing, may as well calm down, go home, and wait for the end," stop and ask who benefits from people pushed to apathy.

I keep seeing DEI being called an ideology when it is not, and the white supremacy that is replacing it not being called an ideology, when it really is. That shit goes back centuries.
