Here's the executive order just signed by Trump. One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

There is an awful lot of bad stuff going on, isn’t there!! 😢 Been keeping abreast of it, but avoiding the tele news. Why can’t everyone just be kind, not lie, not hoard money, think of those less fortunate then themselves and look after the world and it’s ecosystem. Harumpf x

I’ve decided I’m going to take over Lancashire, own it, level it, get all its inhabitants to relocate to Wales, Cumbria or wherever (not Yorkshire!), re-name it God’s Own Country, plant millions of acres of rhubarb and build a Betty’s Tea Room on every street corner. That’ll sort the buggers!! 👍 👀

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

It’s my first rostered day shift working a weekend in years and years, as my new (old) shifts kick in. Nice getting a parking space easily in the morning, and little traffic. Finish at 4 and not 5 like I used to, which actually makes quite a big difference!

The Trump administration fired the commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, Adm. Linda Fagan, within 24 hours of President Trump’s inauguration. The admiral, who was sworn in as the service chief on June 1, 2022, was the first female officer to lead a branch of the U.S. armed forces.

Farage attending the launch of a new staunch climate denial group in the UK that has taken funds from oil giant ExxonMobil ? Not particularly out of character , since Dec 2019 92% of donations to Reform UK were from fossil fuel interest groups or climate deniers , per @desmog.bsky.social .

I had every intention of deactivating my Twitter account tonight. However, I found it hard to erase 16 years in one button press. I’ve made a lot of friends there, and it gave me different conversation in its community, especially music, in Covid times too. I’ve logged out for now x
