“It took 75 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency for voters to hit the streets en masse. Millions of people showed up this weekend for more than 1,200 anti-Trump demonstrations—all of them peaceful—throughout all 50 states, from Alaska to Alabama to Arizona.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

"The sheer scale of Donald Trump's witlessness is now evident to everyone, with no option for someone to credibly suggest otherwise. The man's mind is like a bag of mice." @iandunt.bsky.social absolutely nails it, not for the first time. You'll laugh. You'll cry. open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Trump on NATO: "If the United States was in trouble and we called them. We said, 'We got a problem, France.' Do you think they're gonna come and protect us? Hmm. They're supposed to. I'm not so sure." (Literally the only time NATO Article 5 was invoked was after 9/11 on behalf of the US.)

Fun fact: there’s never been a Democratic director of the FBI in its entire history.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie." My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

Night after night, the people of Georgia face down the police. They face down plastic bullets and water cannons and truncheons. They’re risking everything for the dream of Europe. inews.co.uk/opinion/coun...

Nigel Farage, who has repeatedly accused migrants of making women in the UK unsafe, is now refusing to act against a fellow Reform MP who was jailed for beating up his own girlfriend, and is now calling for a 'debate' on restricting women's reproductive rights bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

Instead of the pardon nonsense, the legacy media should be covering the North Carolina Supreme Court recount where the Republican candidate is seeking to disqualify more than 60,000 lawful ballots and to disenfranchise entirely certain dependents of overseas and military voters.

Badenoch arriving is the clearest evidence yet of a change in the centre of gravity online. I know some people will hate it. But if you want to replace X, it's going to involve the leader of the opposition being here.

The fact that there’s so much more engagement here than on threads seems to point a real throttling of content

There is something deeply amusing about musklings coming here and realizing there’s no algorithm to boost their rage bait, which was their main advantage.

Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.

'Bluesky is an echo chamber' say the thousands of people paying to see their reverential posts about Elon Musk appear at the top of the replies to every single one of his Tweets

I have been thinking long and hard about ways of maintaining our pride and courage in the face of the fascist regime about to begin. It occurs to me that as Trump and his policies and his agents cause the deaths of our fellow citizens, we should honor their names and faces and stories publicly.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵

Be vigilant about keeping abusive right-wing trolls off your accounts by reading replies and blocking. We all have a responsibility to keep this platform from becoming the toxic sewer that the other one is. Don’t look to others, do your part.

I’m seeing a narrative taking shape about ‘liberals leaving X’. Just to be absolutely clear, people are leaving X because: ▪️The information shared on X cannot be trusted. ▪️The accounts on X cannot be verified. ▪️The algorithm cannot be countered. ▪️The user experience will not be fixed.
