Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I’m so tempted to tune out too, due to constant anxiety. However, at a local meeting tonight, an organiser reminded us how huge numbers came when called to OUR town centre last August to protect our minorities, friends + families from the far right. And we won.

There should be no left right centre now. The choice is binary: Progressive, Liberal Democracy & Human Rights Vs. Regressive, Autocracy, Kleptocracy, Theocracy & suppression of Human Rights. That's the simple choice...there is no fence, no bridge between. #ProgressiveAlliance ASAP.

Deactivated my Twitter account today. I was ambivalent, thinking I should be open-minded to see what folks were talking about, but it was endless pushed posts from Musk, angry rants, adverts and crypto scams. Feeling decidedly relaxed about the decision now. Blue skies are the way fwd.

We all knew Trump was going to betray Ukraine, there was never a question about it. It is vital for Europe to show a unified front without the United States and keep in mind that its interests do not align with the rest of the democratic world until Trump & his cabal is removed or overthrown.

If the president can ignore court orders and illegally circumvent, Congress, there is no Constitution. It’s gone. There’s no enumerated right that the president can’t take from you, no law Congress can pass that is binding, and no court that can protect you from any of it. It’s the whole ballgame.

Goldman Sachs guy on BBC News just now defending dropping their diversity policy as no longer needed because it worked. Part of a steady succession of rich, well spoken, old white blokes at huge companies all saying the same thing. Odd, that.

I can’t promise these too regularly but much is going on under Labour that you just don’t hear about. Today’s announcement in flood defences is long needed.

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives now

A foreign-born private citizen with unfathomable wealth & deep financial ties to our nation’s adversaries has seized control of our government and is currently canceling congressionally apportioned spending without a shred of authority. And no one seems to be able to stop him. So this is fine.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.
