Spot on Bonnie Greer on #bbcqt The whole ‘special relationship’ thing is an excruciating very one-sided British obsession. Remember the long promised Brexit free trade deal? Waken up. The UK needs a special relationship with the EU, not the USA. #Trump

“This is what we're on this Earth to do as American citizens in this generation.” I’m taking a break from the news, so when this #Maddow clip popped up, I skipped it. But curiosity lured me back, and I’m glad it did. It’s worth watching and sharing.

We can empathise with voters + accept the result but Trump’s victory does not make his program or vision better. We were wrong to believe Kamala Harris would win. We were not wrong to believe that she should have won. Or that the values + vision that she represents can win again

I'd be much more concerned by a politician who hasn't criticised Trump in the past than one who has. The use of this as a gotcha speaks volumes.

The thing is, she really wasn’t. She barely talked about them. But there’s no doubt the Republican messaging that that is what she thought was highly effective.

The world will be crueler now. Won’t be just Trump but the license he provides to the miscreants.

Bluesky definitely has early twitter energy. Mostly because it’s unpopulated and underdeveloped, but it’s full of cats. And goddamn is that comforting. It feels like home.

🧵Call a General Election? A 2016 petition calling on the Govt to have a threshold on the EU referendum got more than FOUR MILLION signatures. A 2019 petition calling on the Govt to revoke Article 50 & remain in the EU got more than SIX MILLION signatories. Both were ignored.

Rejected a second referendum after three years. Demands a second election after five months. Nigel Farage MP only "respects" democracy when it's convenient for himself.

Says a lot that about 90% of the traffic I’m seeing on X right now claims to be absolutely convinced the British govt is about to embark on a mass programme of state murder of the elderly and vulnerable. What was until recently the town square of politics has become the preserve
