She voted for 18 of 19 Cabinet nominees. She's free to resign, or switch parties at any time. Otherwise, no one wants tweets from her right now. She's shamefully enabled the fascism at every point & she, Collins, & the other supposedly "moderate" Republicans are exactly why we are here.

wild how he can just say whatever he likes and never get pushback. remember when he claimed students could bring aunties, uncles, granny? even when you dug up the actual eligibility rules for students going back a decade and put the links in front of people, they'd still insist he was right

This is an excellent chart, most notably because it shows that the collapse of mainstream parties in Europe & the rise of the far right started with the GFC/Lost Decade/needless austerity from 2008-18. Yes, the refugee crisis, Covid, & inflation mattered, but it was all well under way by then.

Global crisis style note: What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

The old school pro-EU Tory "wets" split from the British right over Brexit. Now, many old-school Tory eurosceptics might break over Trump. Then you're just left with the weird young racists and grifters hoping for a GB News gig.

I don't see how there is any functioning security relationship with the US now. It's run by fascists. One of them has been relentlessly trying to undermine our democracy for 9 months, calling for civil war, regime change. We've had 2 days of Trump conceding Putin's war demands. What's left?

I think this is one reason why the BBC's coverage is so poor. It has to bend away from reality for fear of sounding extreme. The truth is that a delusional old man and an insane billionaire are executing an unconstitutional power grab at high speed but saying that sounds hysterical.
