Trump calls Ukraine's Zelenskyy a 'dictator', 'modestly successful comedian', who should ‘move fast’ or lose country. Part of the strategy to force Ukraine to hand territory to Russia, mineral wealth to US. What next? Can't trust Trump as an ally. UK must rejoin EU. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/z...

QUOTE OF THE DAY…

Labour is upping the ante on anti-migrant politics just to learn that Farage & the Tories can always, always go further than them. It’s real people who are caught in the crossfire of politicians trying to outdo each other on toughness. How we treat people matters. #r4today

Scapegoating refugees has always been a deliberate ploy by governments to distract from their own domestic failures. Pandering to Reform UK will backfire — and vulnerable people will pay the price. End dangerous crossings by opening safe routes for fellow human beings instead.

It’s actually all really fucking bad, innit. Like, at least as bad as anyone warned about. #r4today

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
