Soon to be 100 times. The price of stopping a dictator always goes up.

Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes. nyer.cm/0t2rMr4

I’ve now looked further into this and I’m afraid the behaviour of Sky News looks even more shameful on closer examination. In addition to pulling the film clip, they appear to have edited the text of the story on their website to sanitise the behaviour of Maccabi fans. 1/

Sky News has edited and re-uploaded a new version of their video on the violence in Amsterdam, claiming the previous edit “didn’t meet Sky News’ standards for balance and impartiality.” In other words, they changed it to be more sympathetic to the Israeli rioters who instigated

The official State of Israel Instagram account has shared a video claiming to show a vigil had taken place in Amsterdam yesterday in the wake of the 'pogrom' this weekend. The video is actually from a commemoration on October 7th. It is unrelated to the violence this weekend.

Beyond belief this tweet is still up

#IStandWithPalestine LAAS Labour Friends of Israel I know LAAS. One director saw me in the street and tweeted that he didn't know what he would have done if his wife hadn't been with him.

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing. The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law. I would know because I wrote the law. Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement. This is what illegal corruption looks like. cnn.com/2024/11/09/pol…

🚨The PPE Scandal continues 👇 Health ministers just confirmed that over 1 million pallets of useless PPE procured during the pandemic have now been destroyed up to Sept 2024 *1,049,700 pallets* PPE valued at £8 billion+ literally up in smoke 🔥 theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2024…

Cummings might recall Brexiters prof Minford & Rees-Mogg calling for an end to UK farming & importing ‘cheaper food’ as a Brexit ‘benefit’. Odd that Leave fan Cummings should forget it.

There is something very weird about Bluesky. I think it's the fact that it isn't full of racist dickheads and right wing gobshites. Bit like this place used to be. Be good to see you there.

A lot of people moving to Bluesky and Threads now. Ironic that a man so against migration has caused such a massive exodus.

This is what I keep thinking about. We published this in The Observer on Dec 4, 2016. The very first visualisation of the ‘fake news ecosystem’ - a new coinage & concept - created Jonathan Albright . It showed mainstream media being strangled. Imagine how it looks now…
