Young old dude. Retired, living in the woods on a lake. I will be fine but I'm watching with horror that people voted for a bomb throwing narcissist rapist traitor for president.

Yeah we are headed into the abyss. I've supported Democrats, Equality, Labor and the environment for 40 years. We as a nation have screwed it up every time. Reagan over Carter. Clinton. Bush over Al Gore. Obama over himself. now Trump twice.
We are a greedy selfish short-sighted ignorant people.

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

The Trump administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere, with bombs or missiles or drones, for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided. Not great.

🧵 This piece captures a core problem of the hollow democratic state: politics has become performance, optimised for visibility, not understanding.
Farage is winning because politics has been reduced to clickbait.
It’s a shallow spectacle that favours clowns and con-artists.
As @jemmaforte.bsky.social says here - politics has been “repackaged into junk food.”
But there are ways for the left to fight back 👇🏻

Background Prof. Fabio de Ninno responded on Facebook to the recently published video by Italian Military Archives. His post was in Italian, and I approached him with a request to translate the post and replicate it here. He kindly provided the translation, which I have slightly edited for readability (e.g. adding bulleted lists and subheadings), but otherwise is as was sent.
