A few days ago, I posted about how authoritarian leaders fear student activism. I wrote a new article dives much deeper into this pattern – and why Trump's recent threats are so revealing. It's a global, historical phenomenon. (Short 🧵⬇️)

Withdrawal of US forces completed under Biden but the decision was Trump’s deal with the Taliban, just as the decision to abandon + endanger these women is Musk acting for Trump. It’s a disgusting betrayal: let’s get the facts straight, since Trump is negotiating another disastrous deal with Russia.

excellent example of "accounting system as mental prison" - if you cut the social care budget and put the responsibility onto families, it looks like you have more money to spend on military investment, but the actual amount of labour hours available has probably shrunk

Eddie Dempsey being elected gen sec of the RMT is a good example of what the “just get to four per cent of GDP via cuts elsewhere” people are missing. If Europe has the will to arm itself, Russia can only defeat it at the ballot box, precisely by co-opting “it is welfare or warfare”.

Many of the scientists that the Trump administration is defunding and persecuting will be working on strategically important technologies and research areas. The UK and other European countries should urgently establish programmes to bring those researchers here.

I’m glad my parents aren’t around to see Vance’s insult. Born in WWII’s shadow, they served in the RAF as the US and UK together opposed Soviet expansion. For 80 years, rightly or wrongly, we followed the US into combat. Vance lectures about gratitude but he only knows how to commit treachery.

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

Our leaders need to grasp very quickly that you can’t do a deal with a narcissistic abuser. Because they fundamentally believe aggression is the only winning strategy. They will use deception to mask this but they will never negotiate a tolerable deal with anyone.

It is important that people understand and accept as fact that our government is compromised. I don't mean compromised in some cloak-and-dagger sense, I simply mean that this government no longer accepts core democratic principles and is angling toward an autocracy that's part of a New Axis of Evil.

It seems to me profoundly illogical to think that because they in 2019 suspected the mother was a risk that the father’s already determined risk somehow vanished. To my understanding a new step parent does not eliminate risk. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The US is replacing education with wrestling to distract people from its president selling favours on the international black market. It doesn’t seem like a great time to cut defence spending tbh.
