If ever there was a symptom of a nation's stark decline, it's having a deranged conspiracy-addled freak like RFK Jr. in charge of your health policy, or anywhere near government.
The Trump regime really is the last gasp of weird old white guys clinging to power, privilege and the past.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

Oh yeah it's Good Friday, when all the right-wing fake Christians who've spent the rest of the year making the lives of the poor, the sick, the disabled, the marginalized and the desperate as miserable as possible tell us how much they love Jesus. #HappyEaster

It's a shame Gore Vidal isn't around today, you can only imagine what he would make of America's latest nosedive into corruption and self-destruction.
He would destroy Trump and his grotesque gallery of freaks with one elegant, devastating paragraph and a raised eyebrow.

Neoliberalism is the road to fascism. Every tool that Trump is using was gifted to him by Democrats.
A warning to all AI researchers: "The data analytic tools now being used to scour [students'] social media were enhanced during the Biden administration...But to use them to search social media of nonviolent students, the official said, is different from what the previous administration intended."

Your bills are going up because this government would rather protect the profits of a few corporations than the livelihoods of millions of ordinary people.

End this outrageous rip-off, and take water and energy into public ownership now.

Wall Street is admitting that human extinction is likely, and instead of trying to stop it, their primary concern is maintaining their profits.

"We now expect a 3°C world," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote earlier this month, citing "recent setbacks to global decarbonization efforts."

Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan and an international banking group have quietly concluded that climate change will likely exceed the Paris Agreement's 2 degree goal and are examining how to maintain profits

Starmer "likes and respects" Trump, apparently.
If you like and respect a racist sexual predator and wannabe fascist dictator, then your moral compass isn't just broken, it's smashed to pieces.

Criticising Zelenskyy for not crawling up Trump's rectum like Starmer is to make virtues of spinelessness and cowardice.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Finally got round to watching The Banshees of Inisherin last night, and what a joy it was.
Like an episode of Father Ted written by Ingmar Bergman, it's in turn funny, moving and horrifying with amazing performances from Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan.
Existential despair never looked this good.

People are always like, “you gotta be nice.”

Nice don’t do shit.
Nice gets you no where.
Nice is what the rich want, as they act like psychopathic murderers and explorers.

Nice didn’t get them where they are and it won’t get you anywhere either.

Nice is compliance with fascism.

Trump appointing Pete Hegseth is like the UK making Mark Francois Defence Secretary.

1. Trump nominates bizarre/sinister/batshit/wholly unsuitable cronies for top government positions.

2. They appear before a committee of Senators who establish beyond doubt that the nominees are bizarre/sinister/ batshit and wholly unsuitable for top government positions.

3. Cronies are appointed.

Never mind Canada, if you watch BBC News you'd certainly think the UK was the 51st state.
Their rolling news is obsessed with American politics and breathlessly reports every fart and belch from the unflushable orange turd.
I wouldn't mind, but the actual reporting is so basic and unquestioning.

Yet more performative cruelty. This means someone who fled for their life 25 yrs ago, got refugee status in the UK, and has been part of their community here ever since - maybe married, had kids, started a business - can never be a citizen. That’s not right.

It is always morally right to welcome and care for human beings escaping conflict and persecution, whoever they are or wherever they are from.
This is basic humanity.

Trump thinks he's making America look strong and impressive on the world stage.
In reality, the notion that the US is a declining, hopelessly divided nation facing political crisis and run by a swaggering old mob boss with borderline dementia is being reinforced more strongly every day.
