This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

On International Women’s Day I always remember the time a bloke on Twitter, without irony, instructed me that I should not be listening to male bands on IWD. Because it reminds me of what we’re still up against. Even some of the men that think they get it, really really don’t.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off.
That's what blackmail looks like.
That's what the world is up against.

I was wondering how right wingers that are pro-Ukraine yet pro- Trump can possibly square their views with all this. But of course they will pivot in a heartbeat and throw Ukraine under the bus, buying into all this ‘Trump is your saviour and you should be grateful’ bullshit.

So Trump’s policy is basically that if one power wants to take another people’s country for themselves by force they can keep whatever they manage to occupy as long as the US gets plenty of the spoils, and those losing their land should somehow be grateful.

Watching Trump talk to Zelensky is like watching some mafia boss’s spoilt toddler repeatedly hitting a dignified guest with a rattle. It’s like a farce, but with deadly consequences.

People have been saying "call it fascism" lately and I just feel the general public may not have a clear picture of what fascism IS. It's not a scare tactic to use the word; it's descriptive.
