It’s only now I realise Trump wants to move the population of Palestine to Greenland.

Let’s just stop buying American products. We did it with South Africa. I’ve got zero interest in propping up an authoritarian regime. We’ve got plenty of countries we can trade with.

This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.

‘We’ve upset middle-class women of a certain age by mistake’

For the avoidance of doubt, there is *nothing* wrong with middle-class women of a certain age

Phew! Well, now that I've decided to move here properly from Ex, I guess I'd better introduce myself. I've been an environmental journalist since 1985, and a campaigner for most of that time. Here's some blah about my strange and not-always-happy life: www.monbiot.com/about/%F0%9F...

Am coming round to the view that Elon Musk is going to be one of the better Trump nominations

America's starting to feel like the bathtub scene in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

TRIVIA: If confirmed as Trump’s attorney general, Matt Gaetz would make history as the first-ever Cabinet secretary to lead a department that previously investigated him for sex trafficking
