Here’s how I see it: we’ve witnessed ignorance and self-interest triumph and a massive shift to the right. It’s not our fault. We tried to stop it and will hold firm to our core beliefs, while enjoying the joys and benefits we have and sharing where we can.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

BREAKING:
Sir Keir Starmer has made clear to allies that he will stand and fight if Wes Streeting succeeds in triggering a leadership contest
The prime minister has spent the afternoon meeting ministers and Labour MPs in Parliament as he attempts to see off a potential leadership challenge
Loyal cabinet ministers have also been working the tearooms urging colleagues not to "plunge the party into chaos"
They have been warning that a leadership election would paralyse the government for months
Starmer's allies are convinced that Streeting will fail to get the 81 MPs he needs to mount a formal challenge. But if he does, the message is that he will fight
‘Pastors lay hands on Donald Trump as they pray over Iran war.’ There’s got to be an opera in it. If civilisation survives.

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief.
“Streets of Minneapolis”.
He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday.
Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can

This is very moving. I’d much rather have this decent, competent and committed public servant with obvious depth of soul and character in charge than the alternative spectrum of options, who range from the crassly venal to the utterly absurd.

Truth, backed by a mountain of chilling evidence. 👀
.@Liz_Cheney: "There is not an ounce of compassion in Donald Trump. He is petty. He is vindictive, and he is cruel. And Donald Trump is not fit to lead this good and great nation."

I think conspiracy theorists who think covid was a cold or a hoax - including several @gbnews presenters - should watch this and reflect on why they derive so much satisfaction from the fantasy that people like Kevin are part of a giant con.
Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.
The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope.
Please watch this 2min clip.

Jesus what’s happened to this platform
My feed is full of street fights, anti immigration racism, pervy weird shit and antisemitism
It’s vile
Elon Musk is a F menace to civilisation
And people now spout absolute nonsense openly with total confidence

Worse government forced the privatisation and outsourcing of public analysts. These contracts often went to the same test laboratories who were testing for manufacturers, so there was no independent analysis
