An important lesson from 1930s Germany, Bosnia, and Rwanda: Bloodshed and genocide doesn’t start with concentration camps. It starts with the normalisation of the abnormal, attacks on institutions, and the vilification & dehumanisation of minority groups.
After the Charlottesville far right marches where Trump said there were “very fine people” on both sides, I with @EachOtherUk made a short film with survivors of three genocides called The Warning Signs. The signs are there; we just need to read them
This is crazy: Israeli police arrests 2 French military personnel ("gendarmes") with diplomatic status in a Christian church (the Eleona Church) that has officially belonged to France for 160 years and is protected by diplomatic immunity: To make things…
The King is merely the powerless figurehead of a dysfunctional system of government. Spain’s govt isn’t federal but since 1978 devolution has granted more power to the regions & nations. But this has muddied the water over who has responsibility in crises. reuters.com/world/europe/p…
First of all, my grandfather was a sociopath. Secondly, “I’m not Hitler,” is a hell of a closing argument.
This must be tweeted every Halloween. I don’t make the rules
The mark of the authoritarian: - Undermine the trust of the public in the sources of reliable information: the media, professional journalists, Wikipedia, universities, scientists, and government agencies. - Accuse those sources of being corrupt, woke, Marxist, fascist, beholden…
There are many fine amendments to our Constitution. But I have a strong feeling that, after next Tuesday, my favorite will be the Nineteenth.
Biden’s an idiot. Just when Trump is on the defensive over his racist rally & the Puerto Rico insult along comes the gaffemeister in chief to rescue the GOP. It’s obvious Biden meant Trump supporters like Hinchcliffe but the damage is done. | nytimes.com/2024/10/29/us/… via @NYTimes
Liz Cheney: When you have the AG of Texas suing to get access to the medical records of women who sought abortions, and Trump won't even release his own medical records, this brings many pro life & pro choice women support VP Harris
Really @SkySportsF1 ? We’re still having Trumpist Danica Patrick who thinks lizard people are real, engages with David Icke and says the moon landings were faked. Your expert lacks credibility in my view. #SkyF1 #F1
Once upon a time BBC Panorama might have covered a story like this. Or Newsnight (before that flagship programme was completely gutted).
The opinion page of the nation’s second most important newspaper isn’t offering an opinion on the most important issue by far of the day? What are they going to write about instead? Tastes great/less filling? #Disgrace
The Washington Post editorial board is a disgrace. For the newspaper that exposed the Pentagon Papers and the Watergate scandal to not take a position and endorse a candidate in the most consequential Presidential election in 165 years is reprehensible.
Are we witnessing part of a slow motion coup in the US? Tech Billionaires buy up media and then gag them if they are not pro-Trump, while some use their resources to campaign for him. He in turn will give them more power and money if elected.
Trump is literally Hitler, but we put the Hitler quotes in Comic Sans to make it funny
Why any decent human-being would vote for this deranged tangerine scumbag is beyond me. | Trump rebuked by Arnold Palmer’s daughter for fawning over late golf legend’s penis size theguardian.com/us-news/2024/o…
This is why I struggle to understand why African-American or Latino voters would vote for Trump when he spews these racist & discredited ideas. When Trump says “we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” which people do they think he’s attacking? theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…
As many of you know, I stayed off X for a while, due to online and offline death threats, which started last October. This was because I chose to point out facets of international law, in support of Palestine. And facts and legal definitions for some so fuelled, they decided to…
I was glad Labour won but can’t believe how inept they’ve been. Saying “we were only talking in the manifesto about workers’ NI contributions” sounds just like “there’s no rule against donations for clothes”. Can they not see how dishonest this looks? theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/o…
