The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

A U.S. Army psychologist who dealt with the war criminals tried at Nuremberg defined "evil" as "the absence of empathy."

It says a lot about today's right who regularly disparages empathy.
Tapping the sign.

I wrote this in January, about the issues we face when responsibility for covering the irony-poisoned and extremely-online trolls of the far right, falls to journalists who can't rotate a PDF.

Stephen Colbert, "You warned everyone about the future under our president"

Kamala Harris, "You're correct that I did predict a lot of it. What I did not predict was the capitulation. I didn't see that coming"

Drone operation 1.5 years in planning & execution, operators involved exfil-ed in advance. Billions in damage for Russia, 40+ strategic bombers, possibly hundreds of aircraft damaged, a whole leg of the nuclear triad at risk.

With toy drones.

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

Ukraine is now under attack from two autocrats. One in the Kremlin. One in the White House. For the sake of democracies everywhere, we must stand by Zelenskyy

Perhaps we can stop being so parochial about Starmer's trip to Washington now. It was a failure. We are in a battle against fascism. And every decision we make is judged by whether it assisted or opposed it.

Trump & Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy was a snub to all of Europe.

And the pair of them can fuck right off.

I don’t want them having a single rare earth atom from European soil.

I don’t want their military bases.

I want Europe to throw everything into driving Russia off Ukrainian soil.

Donald Trump, from his golden comfort, claims Zelensky isn’t ready for peace while Ukraine counts tens of thousands dead, hundreds of thousands wounded, and cities in ruins. A grotesque insult to the victims—history will remember who sided with the oppressors.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.
