I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.

I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.

Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.

Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

ME: "Jesus, why does your close friend Speaker Mike Johnson relentlessly bear false witness?"

JESUS: "WHO???"

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

THIS! It's time.

So far in 2025...324 mass shootings in just 272 days.

We do not have to keep living like this.

How appropriate that this reminds me of a scene from a movie called “Clueless.”

Can't we just get healthcare

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats.

The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

Huge news.

Angus: Trump, says lumber from Canadian mills represents a national security threat.

You’d use that language about buddy going down to the Home Depot in Arkansas to buy some 2x4s?

Congratulations to Chris Mason for being nominated for 'Political Journalist Of The Year' in the London Press Club Awards. He was nominated for his "fearless commitment to unbiased, objective reporting" by a Mr N Farage of Clacton.

Yes

This is the way. Re-pledged to PBS, as well.

BBC News: Yvette Cooper is at "a conference".

She's actually attending the United Nations General Assembly.

“Let me sing you the song of my people”

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

Hanna Arendt was right…

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Join me in condemning this kind of statement and this kind of hate.

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks.

Joy Reid nailed it.

Dear Reform voters,

These guys are laughing at you.
They promise to make your lives better… but they couldn’t give less of a shit. You’re their playthings. Their route to power. When they’ve got it, they’ll be done with you. And they’ll trash the place.
Get some self-respect.

The rest of the UK.

Nothing compares to looking up and seeing this view while on the road...
