The Labour Party continue to show utter contempt for human rights, international law, and the lives of millions of Palestinians. The only reason they should be meeting with the Israeli foreign secretary is to tell him that the UK is cutting off arms sales and military support.

When you stack your administration with incompetent sycophants, you can push things for a while. They’ll threaten your enemies and make all sorts of mischief. But when shit goes down, it’ll go down fast. They’ll fall all at once like a house of cards because loyalty to a crook is all they got.

My Trade Secrets today. It's a longstanding American grievance that predates Trump: US companies can't sell cars in Europe & elsewhere because of evil trade barriers. It's actually because US protectionism has encouraged its carmakers to make clunky great gas-guzzlers no one else wants to buy.

Goldman Sachs has just put out a warning about a full US-China financial decoupling which would wipe out $2.5 trillion. US investors might be forced to sell $800 billion in Chinese stocks, while China could liquidate $1.7 trillion in US assets, including Treasuries and equities. Boom.

This Trump crisis, it doesn't get better, it will only get worse if left unchecked. Those who have the power to stop him need to step up loudly & publicly. We don't need just democrats or republicans, we need all to step up for the good of the nation and future of its people. #3E

I'm not "inspired" by women with more money than they know what to do with taking an expensive joyride as ordinary Americans go without when women who actually flew aircraft are being erased from history by the Pentagon and women astrophysicists are being besmirches as "DEI hires" and fired.

Right wing populist politics has been so damaging and so brain-achingly tedious this last decade. Look at where we are as a result. Far poorer, weaker, more divided, isolated from the EU and trying not to piss off an egomaniacal lunatic in the White House. Sovereignty at its most vulnerable.

The American state media completely ignored QAnon terrorist Marjorie Taylor Greene committed insider trading right before the trade war tariffs were even announced. But her emails.

"American fascism is back. It is here. It is now." And yet still the mad unseemly dash for a deal - any deal, at any price - continues. Labour should pivot MUCH harder towards Europe.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

With all the videos of police illegally entering people’s home using intimidation & force to detain & deport American if not worse. Black peoples have dealt with that for centuries. It’s police brutality. That is beyond unconstitutional. That is why Colin Kaepernick knelt.… Now do you f’n get it?

Notably, in his media availability in El Salvador, @vanhollen.senate.gov truthfully keeps saying that Abrego Garcia was "illegally abducted" and "disappeared" instead of the more antiseptic, and factually incorrect, "deported."

The argument in the text is they can’t accomplish their policy goal while following due process (and therefore the standards should flex). That’s a general purpose argument for fascism, not one specific to immigration.
