@maddow.bsky.social - Just because Trump's intentions are to destroy democracy doesn't mean it's an inescapable fate for us as a country. Each of these things they're trying will be a fight, a test & it's not just in Washington. Everywhere there is a push against democracy there is a push for it.
Texan GOP Ted Cruz condemned Brendan Carr's threats to revoke ABC licences, saying govt attempts to police speech are "incredibly dangerous" & could harm conservatives if Democrats return to power.

Glad a GOP Trump sycophant thinks Dems can regain power.

Exactly. But also, IMO there are a lot of people who reject Farage and the right wing media, hate Trump and his agenda, which Farage aims to copy, and will reject Reform at the next election. We just don't get covered by the media.
Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

‪@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social‬ talks of Farage's YouTube viewership & that of @therestpolitics.bsky.social

Farage is the biggest loser despite being amplified by right wing media & the BBC. IMO it shows that a lot of people don't tap into that crap & see Farage for what he is. A manic ranter.

He's going to bankrupt the country.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.

Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

This is how to deal with ICE agents. Make them personally responsible for letting themselves be used by Trump. He won't be prosecuted of course. They'll take all the punishment which they deserve. They ruin people's lives!
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.

Whew. This is moving to watch.
When you feel the world is going to hell just watch this. Thank the gods for science and medicine.
In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action.

Mussolini tried this; created a dictatorship over 5 years. He thought he was invincible, like Trump does, but he wasn't. Trump isn't either. You can take away people's rights for a bit but you can't take away their power. There's a lot of rage now. Directed at Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/u...

Britain can’t afford Elon’s next power trip.

Today I’ve written to the Energy Secretary urging him to block Musk’s electricity supply licence. The government should be putting the national interest first, not worrying about upsetting Elon Musk.

A poem I wrote, "Cliches".

Cliches crowd into my head
Jostling for attention,
As if they were famous and important,
As if they were fascinating divas.
Narcissists, all of them!
If I could find a cliché magnet
Or a brain hoover
To suck them all out of my skull
Would I have any words left?

Charlamagne Tha God told Lara Trump on her show that a coup is going on; Trump's Epstein cover-up has alienated his base & given traditional Republicans a way to wrest the Party back from him.

Trump lashed out of course, but he's lost the battle. Shot himself in the foot. Again. Idiot.

79% of Americans now support immigration. 91% of Democrats & 64% of Republicans - up from 39% last year. They don't like Trump's hideous, lunatic ICE tactics.

He shoots himself in the foot with every move. Stupid, monstrous man.

Great speech from Emmanuel Macron. I love that he's here & getting such a positive reception - & that his state visit, hosted by King Charles, came before Trump's.

This statue popped up on Washington Mall with quotes from 4 dictators praising Trump. A sulky WH said Americans are free to display their art no matter how ugly it is. So another was put up! A tacky gold spray-painted TV showing clips of Trump & Epstein.
