A British academic is tracking all Trump's authoritarian actions under different categories to cut through the deliberate confusion created by "flood the zone with shit". A fantastic resource. Take a look www.trumpactiontracker.info?

I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up.

Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.

PLEASE ACT NOW. Israel plans to take over Gaza City. Starmer says their plan is wrong & they must rethink it, but the UK is still supporting Israel with arms sales, training, RAF surveillance flights & more. Sign the petition: tell Keir he MUST end this support: 38d.gs/hwpb?utm_cam...

Younger generations, you need to dust off this Bob Dylan song from 1964 because it's just as applicable now as it was then.

Starmer's comment about the 'pot of weapons' that we contribute fighter parts to was mind-boggling. He told the questioner scornfully she 'didn't understand the detail'. Do any of us? Shouldn't we? www.thenational.scot/news/2518081...

I grew up at a time the world seemed like it was changing for the better. We wanted, peace and a 'melting pot' in which everyone belonged whatever their race/sex/gender. Most of the world leaders now are of that generation. What happened? Did aliens take them over? Are they lizards under the skin?
