I’m aware of a deep need to cry. I’m aware of feeling extremely emotional. I don’t really know why other than that the state of the world is fucking parlous right now.

This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️

What she said
This is Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. It is - as Iraq was for Blair - the moral stain that will mark Starmer’s government and the party for years to come. Severely disabled people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded. No Labour MP who backs this will be forgiven.

What she said
It’s quite staggering just how vile Trump & his administration are. The casual cruelty. The absolutely bare faced lying. The character assassinations. The hypocrisy. The blacking out of his-(and her)story. The kidnappings. It’s tinpot dictatorship Supersized. Surely it cannot stand. Can it?

BBC Radio 4 Today had Jeremy Bowen say that there are questions about Oct 6 and the run-up to it that Netanyahu doesn’t want asked. I find that extraordinary. Truth may yet come out.

While the world has been heading inexorably to hell in the proverbial handcart, I’ve been making a garden. Possibly the best thing I’ve ever done.

I feel great empathy for Elon Musk. He has none. Poor poor man, to not know what it feels like to empathise with his fellow men, women and children. To not give a rats arse about 99% of the population. Also terrifying.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Two thoughts:
1) Watching an episode of The Office (US version) I wonder if this is The West Wing Trump style
2) Maybe climate change is the only thing that’s gonna stop Trump & his mates.

Now it’s out: the EU and its values are under assault from both Russia & America. The bastion of human rights, workers rights, women’s rights, so many rights fought so hard for now plainly under threat from what was its greatest ally.

I’m pondering Trump saying that Kier Starmer is a good guy. Two weeks ago Elon was saying he’s terrible. Perhaps between Trump & Israel, Starmer is promising to be a good boy. This would not bode well for the UK.
