Which makes me even madder about Brexit and all those fuckwits who thought the US was our friend and EU a problem. Do you think any of them might be having second thoughts now?
It’s time.The “Special Relationship” is dead.Starmer can’t continue with the “We don’t need to choose between US or Europe” line.We absolutely have to.Putin’s useful idiot bullying us into handing over Greenland via tariffs is unacceptable.We share values+principles with European partners.Red line🇬🇱🔴
I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:
The Founders assumed that Members of Congress would jealously and zealously guard the powers and prerogatives of their branch of government against the grasping of an overweening Executive, and instead we got this supine GOP majority that yearns to lick the boot.
I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

The very soul of their political project is centered within their hatred of women
“We shouldn’t use her name.” Jackson County, Tennessee’s Christian nationalist pastor Andrew Isker says Renee Nicole Good is dead because “women have authority with no accountability” in America. His sidekick C.Jay Engel does not disagree.

Happening now: Hundreds of protesters are marching in front of the Home Depot on 36th St and Thomas where several day laborers were taken by ICE last Sunday. Chants of “ICE out of Home Depot, ICE out of AZ” and “ICE kills moms.”

In what is often described as the most significant assassination of the 20th century, the execution of Patrice Lumumba of Congo possibly occurred on 17 January 1961. I wrote about him and the global participation in his horrific execution

When fascism came to America, no one loved the flavor of one piece of dry chicken and raw broccoli in a corn tortilla more than those who voted in white hot fury over the price of eggs.

I just can't stop thinking about how America voted for this to happen and how so many people are watching this government's ethnic cleansing campaign and clapping like seals.

The core truth of the Trump era, and the one that journalism is forbidden from stating out loud, is that Trump has gathered around him a constituency of the country's worst people.
That's what most distinguishes them -- not economic status, age, where they live, anything else. It's shittiness.

Piggy-backing off of this that after the Battle for Seattle demonstrators had come up with a number of tactics to resist police justifying unchecked violence and every major protest since then the police have actually gotten more and more violent.
I think that people don’t comprehend that the state has been unapologetically beating young people’s asses basically nonstop & charging us with massive crimes for protesting since at least Occupy Wall Street & growing up like that has a chilling effect on the way people engage with democracy

Utah’s law, the ACLU contends, removes critically-acclaimed books “not because they lack literary merit,” but because they acknowledge topics like sexuality and sexual assault.
Vonnegut estate and ACLU sue Utah over its ‘sensitive materials’ book law
Award-winning authors and two Utah high school students say the law that has banned 22 books in all Utah public schools violates their First Amendment rights.

After the Kent State shootings, many Americans felt the Guard’s actions were justified. Some felt they should have killed more. That mindset still exists today.
