BBC's live coverage of Trump's visit to the middle east is sickening. They seem in awe of him, and questioning nothing. They're normalising a monster.

Nigel Farage's Reform accused of 'sucking up to Moscow' in council flag spat
One of Reform's first acts on winning control of 10 local councils was to insist that town halls can't fly Ukrainian flags in solidarity with Kyiv against Russian aggression

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

I'm gripped by the ever-increasing bling in Trump’s Oval Office. What does it mean? Yes, Trump has bad taste. But also something else. Here’s an art historical view. 🧵

Why the ballot box is broken. The wealthy who donated to the Tories, now donate to Labour and to a lesser degree Reform. They do it for two simple reasons, to ensure they are in bed with whoever is in office and the controlling party, will maintain the status quo.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Musk has amplified a claim that Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn't murder millions of people - public sector workers did.
What hasn't been noticed is that the claim came from one Russian propaganda account via another.
Musk has repeatedly amplified both accounts. Musk is a Kremlin tool.

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.
A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.
A historic disgrace.
