We all knew something like this had happened: Corbyn working with Tory Brexiters to back the Withdrawal Agreement, on a three line whip, with no amendments. ... But to see it here in black and white still makes me furious!

Also applies in the UK.
It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

"I despair of his 'be all things to all men' approach."

Steve Coogan tells Andrew Marr he believes Keir Starmer is a 'decent man', but warns that his eagerness to please everyone will inevitably 'bite him on the bum' eventually.

Fascism has arrived in the USA for all to see. Apologists are already making excuses for Elon’s Nazi salute. We see it. Our eyes are wide open. This is what America voted for, we are a sick country. So much work to do and it’s up to each of us to do the work because NOBODY is coming to save us

President Biden warned in his farewell address that an oligarchy is taking shape in the U.S. As President-elect Trump returns to the White House, billionaires and multimillionaires are flocking to the city where power has been more important than money, but is now deeply intertwined with it.

From midnight tonight until next Saturday morning, there's no TV, no Internet, no Social Media, no nothing for me.

Symbolic protest is better than none at all.
