Adolescence is a must watch. Each of the 4 episodes stays with you long after you finish it. Episode 3 was a masterpiece. Episode 4 broke me.

Voter suppression. It seems US Republicans know they can only ever win by restricting people from legally voting ... pathetic.

Say what now? This is just daily insanity...

A quick link to the pro-democracy voices to follow. All listed in 1 place!

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west). My column: www.ft.com/content/3046...

Dear BBC the USA is not ‘stepping up pressure on Ukraine to agree a peace deal’. It is taking Russia’s side in the war.

This. It couldn't be clearer to everyone now whose side they are on.

What an insane POV. RUSSIA started this war by INVADING Ukraine. When a negotiated end or ceasefire to the war (which Russia WILL renege on later) results in Russia's territorial expansion, Ukraine should what? Consider it? No, it's not possible to hold that view without being pro-Russia.

Oval office ambush. They planned this, thinking it would make them look like tough guys. It just shows who they are. And if this doesn't show you that Trump IS a Russian asset (regardless of whether he "knows" it or not), what will? This marks one of the lowest of lows in recent US history.

I watched the video of the Oval Office exchange from today. How Trump and JD Vance conducted themselves is disgusting. I support Zelenskky and Ukraine. As an Australian, I am horrified about the geopolitical implications of this. We are partners with the USA. This affects us all. USA, sort it out.
