Stephen Fry, "I'm deeply worried about the darkening shadow that's going over the world, the shadow of fascism" Laura Kuenssberg, "You would use that word?" Stephen Fry, "Absolutely. It's a cult of power. And power only speaks to power"

Dear Americans. Just a reminder. The Declaration of Independence, the emblem of your founding ideals. Benjamin Franklin. Thomas Jefferson. The most revered document in the US. "We hold these truths to be self-evident..." Not any more, it seems.

Trump's over-inflated ego has a vision. It is him, Putin and Xi sitting at a table, carving up the rest of the world's allegiances between the three of them. Three superstates, Oceania, Eurasia & Eastasia ruling the rest of the world... Orwell had it spot on.

Exactly. In a world descending into disinformation and fascism..the facts matter more than ever. We need more people like @peterstefanovic.bsky.social in the world. We have to push back against the lies.

Dear Keir Starmer. America under Trump is going to fly in the face of everything that you believe in, and become your worst enemy. The quicker you face up to this, the sooner you will find a way to minimise the consequences.

Trump tells more lies about Ukraine: "We had a deal based on rare earth and things, but they broke that deal. They broke it two days ago, we had a deal." Wrong. Trump proposed that Ukraine hand over $500 billion worth of natural resources, without any US security guarantees. Zelensky rejected it.

So: Divide, undermine and insult all your allies. Ridicule the leader of an invaded country. Praise and support the aggressor. Blame your predecessor. Now we are hearing from US politicians that these are just cunning tactics that Trump employs to bring both sides to a negotiation. W⚓s.

What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

Could this be because Elon wants scientific research to be in private rather than public hands? There would be more money to be made, after all...

That really is the limit. "Alternative facts"? I don't think so. He's just parroting what Putin told him - just like he did 8 years ago. OK Starmer, stop trying to walk the tightrope. The time has come to step up. Re-join the EU and help to make it a strong coalition against this lunacy.

Jeez. Trump actually just said it. He actually just said that Ukraine shouldn't have started this war! He’s actually siding with a crazed, murderous dictator

Russian TV: "Now we can strike Brussels, London and Paris. We don't have to worry about NATO's Article 5 and Americans stepping up to help." Article 5 is the bedrock of the NATO alliance, where an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. It's only been triggered once, by USA, after 9/11.

At a time when Trump, Putin, and Xi Jinping are dividing up the world into their spheres of influence it doesn’t make geopolitical, economic or military sense to remain an offshore island cast adrift from our friends and neighbours in Europe. For national self interest we need to rejoin the EU. 🇪🇺

Time for the UK to choose a side. The US is now only on its own side. Any little "favours" it grants the UK will not protect it from the consequences of inaction.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
