I take solace in and hope from the fact that pretty much every USian I've ever met has been really lovely.

Following his Nazi salute, Steve Bannon engages in unalloyed antisemitism, calling progressive US Jews the "#1 enemy...inside the wire" for Israelis, "progressive Jewish billionaires funding all this stuff", disloyal to Israel & MAGA

Currently dipping into this 250-page comics anthology on gender based violence. I'm not working on it just yet but wanted to get a feel for the testimonies. Excellent, important, but obviously difficult stuff. #comics

Feels timely to reshare this from from the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation. World leaders lay candles, in silence until spontaneous applause greeted Zelenskyy. Those there knew he is fighting the 21st century’s Nazis. 20 days on, a US regime has sided with them. What utter darkness.

So we're three Nazi salutes into the new Trump regime, and the media are still crucifying language trying to say anything but three MAGA affiliates gave Nazi salutes.

I might have said this before but I doubt there will be mid-term elections in the US unless the outcome of them is already decided.

Gulp! My stupid idea to nationalise factual news media is starting to look pretty fucking viable! Access to accurate information is a human right. Private enterprise has failed to deliver. The state should step in. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Thinking of this passage from Morrison, Porter & co’s JLA, the injustice gang declared “all the good you have done, we will undo. All the lives you have saved, we will destroy. All that you stand for, we will mock and trample in the dirt.” Seems too over the top even for comic book villains & yet…
