Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Labour could tax the super-rich to end poverty, build social housing and fix our NHS. They are choosing to go after the worst-off instead. For a while, many people didn’t know what this government stood for. They do now: tough choices for the poor, endless money for war.

Amazing how the UK government is ready to go to war for Ukraine, but five days into Israel's starvation blockade of Gaza and they can't even utter a word. It's almost like they're not remotely interested in saving lives.

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.)

This article is unhinged.It's completely ahistorical and trying to paint her as normal. She willingly moved to apartheid south africa because she liked apartheid. And then left because it ended.

For people in a profession so notoriously oriented by spite, rivalries and petty grievances, it’s striking how few British journalists are willing to consider the idea that Trump hates Zelenskyy personally and that nothing anyone says or does is going to change his mind about this issue.

I sometimes wonder how many people outside the Black community know about this…. “Eleven people were killed, including five children and the founder of the organization. Sixty-one homes were destroyed, and more than 250 citizens were left homeless.” www.vox.com/the-highligh...

What’s clear at this point is that the Trump strategy on Ukraine is to only place pressure on Zelensky, not Putin. The moves we’ve seen have been to give Russia everything it wants, and Ukraine nothing. It’s a complete reversal of the American position from only 6 weeks ago.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

Sorry but I’m with @samsteindc.bsky.social. This isn’t “in response” to the Oval meeting. They had all of this pre-planned and ready to roll out. Trump and Vance instigated the Oval confrontation to justify it.

Every American should watch Trump and Vance berate an ally trying to defend the freedom of their country from a dictator who invaded them. It’s an embarrassment to our nation for our president and vice president to represent us in this way. Totally disgusting. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the White House doing stuff like this is going to leave the impression that was an ambush, which might do even more damage to America's international reputation than what just unfolded.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.

1/ The nascent Tesla boycott movement got me thinking back to the 80s anti-apartheid movement. How it took off and literally changed the world. If the South African apartheid regime could be brought down, perhaps one South African oligarch could be? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"Stranger danger" is so nefarious as a propaganda tool, because 1) most sexual violence is committed by people known to the victim and 2) the people imagined to be "the stranger" (trans people, immigrants, Black people) are themselves most at risk for facing violence from people they don't know
