US entering insanityland
We’re entering entirely uncharted waters here: for America, that is: enforced disappearances are routine in authoritarian countries. America is headed in a very dark direction indeed.
Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

I do share some of these concerns.
This is really sinister. The fact that Starmer didn't cancel the Tory anti-protest laws makes me think he is reading the playbook from Trump's crowd. His lack of pushback against Trump's madness is very worrying. We will not benefit from any deals Trump chooses to make with us.
