This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape.

Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason.

But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇

‘How did you deal with tricky characters?’ asks Victoria Derbyshire of Jeremy Hunt. Well, we know how dealt with Trump last time —stealing Venezuela’s gold. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

I've been thinking about this a lot, for months: Gaza was a breaking point between verifiable reality and liberal governance. "AI" sparks fears ppl will believe things that aren't true, but Gaza SHOWED things that WERE true—& western governments, universities & news outlets pretened they were not.
What did we think Trump was going to do, if Europe showed him we would fully collaborate on the total destruction of the Gaza Strip and ferociously repeat even the most absurd lies about it to our citizens? Did we think he would decide: best to not push the law breaking and war crimes, be sensible.

❗️The government is refusing to say how many US military personnel are now at its major UK bases.

This is while Trump is using Lakenheath and Mildenhall to move military forces to the Middle East, possibly to attack Iran.

It's time the UK government backed these efforts to bring global tax affairs into the light, and stop giving our tax money away to U.S. billionaires in dark room negotiations.

The euphemistically titled new “side‑by‑side system” is a green light for US companies to keep playing this game of hide-and-seek with their profits.

Making the “two sides” in the system:
🇺🇸American megacorporations who won’t have to pay taxes
Vs.
🌍everyone else who does.

The UK & other rich countries just gifted U.S. corporations’ a major exemption from int'l tax rules.

The UK was already haemorrhaging an estimated $9 billion a year to tax-cheating US megacorps.

I trust there are serious people at the Treasury and the BoE working with a sense of urgency to make preparations for when Trump decides to weaponise SWIFT against recalcitrant allies. It would be very inelegant to be panicked into asking Russia for advice or help.

For anyone who didn’t know about Operation Gladio and Western terrorism, this will be fairly eye-opening.

Eldar Mamedov’s obituary of Robert Hunter reminds of us of a time when the US, indeed the West more generally, actually engaged in serious diplomacy.
