Una obscena exhibición de matonismo. EEUU tiene medios para neutralizar una narcolancha identificada, sin necesidad alguna de matar a 11 personas. Por tanto, lo que Trump ordenó desde su despacho se puede llamar "asesinato" sin incurrir en difamación. elpais.com/internaciona...
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Also, this is the reasoning of a child: "You say crime is down but actually, crime is still happening." Why is everyone with any power in America allergic to simply saying that Trump's actions are bad, full stop? Everything has to be a bizarre dance around obvious realities
My new premium newsletter is about polls showing that liberals are cutting off their conservative family members, and my theory that this might happen not because liberals are more sensitive, but because conservatives are less tolerable.
"This is dangerous journalism. When mainstream outlets like ABC frame Trump's unconstitutional threats through his preferred lens of urban chaos, they're not reporting on authoritarianism. They're enabling it." open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...
You already are one, Donald, the tragedy is that you haven't realized it yet.
he's absolutely obsessed with chicago. literally begging pritzker to call him and invite him to illinois.

TRUMP: we need to study the idea of letting teachers who are veterans carry weapons in schools

France today issued arrest warrants for Bashar al-Assad and six other former Syrian officials for the 2012 bombing of the city of Homs that killed two journalists, Marie Colvin and Remi Ochlik. Assad escaped with his family to Russia after being ousted by Islamist rebels in late 2024.
Those pupils. In a bright ass room.
The inevitable outcome of both Labour's hostile rhetoric on asylum, and its even more hostile policies, is that it puts those seeking safety in more precarious positions. Doing that ends up benefitting the very gangs Cooper claims to be tackling, and this government knows it. 10/

I heard they’re still struggling to get the president to master the line “putting on the ritz!”
Blueksy is not "evaporating" by any meaningful sense of that word but the data does show that the number of posts made each day has been gradually declining over the last six months or so. Sort of interesting to see, but definitely not a sign this platform is on death watch

One can detect Trump’s “see no evil” policy in the State Department’s human rights reports on his authoritarian allies, eg El Salvador and Hungary. But the nonjudgmental approach shifts dramatically when it is describing democratic countries whose leaders are at odds with Trump. wapo.st/4nahJCH

Musk keeps on pushing the worst elements of the British extreme right, regularly sharing calls to deport all migrants AND ethnic minorities. And in the meanwhile the UK government keeps on using his platform to communicate.
If I were trying to win elections and arguments, I simply would be doing everything I could to move UK political conversation away from a website run by an avowed enemy who believes and writes this stuff about me:
Prima facie, Elon Musk appears to be manipulating X platform for specific political voices he supports (as well as using his own account to amplify the far right & furthest right). In particular the platform dynamic has shifted & is helping Tommy Robinson to be amplified more than Nigel Farage.
Musk's reputation is worse than other institutions (the unions in 1979, perhaps even the banks in 2008) who had a damaging reputation for wanting unaccountable power Somebody this unpopular should be an attractive target/enemy in a democratic society
I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

"here's how to grow your movement" - somebody who hates your movement
Leaving twitter (where we still have over 3x the followers we have here) and using Bluesky as our primary social network has increased both direct traffic and subscribers at @bwdr.bsky.social far more than twitter ever did the previous few years. Easy decision—Blueskyism is where it’s at folks.
Todo sucede demasiado rápido y nada deja huella. No es solo una impresión. El orden digital ha transformado cómo vivimos el tiempo y el pasado. Hemos pasado de un tiempo histórico con continuidad a un presente perpetuo que devora memoria y contexto. Un breve hilo al respecto:
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
"Blueskyism" embodies all the characteristics that make progressivism unappealing to normal people, very unlike X, that embodies all the characteristics that make racism appealing to Nazis.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
President Trump’s massive tax and spending plan cuts Medicaid by almost $1 trillion over the next decade, risking service cuts and closures that could force rural women to travel farther to safely have a baby.
See replies for an sewer of unlawful hatred, due to a sense of impunity. This is the de facto legalised racial harassment and abuse in our country in 2025, through the mute inaction/indifference of the authorities, regulators & government Its essential to Make X Lawful Again x.com/sundersays/s...
Elon Musk is a radicalised extremist openly championing the most racist faction who would deport the Foreign Secretary, the Leader of the Opposition, the Justice Secretary and the last Prime Minister The govt silence about such a level of extremism is craven: infinite tolerance of racial hatred
Great chart from WaPo. Print it out. Next time someone says EU carmakers are doomed because Tesla was born in a garage and embodies US business acumen they can’t match, remind them the story is incomplete. Musk’s rise was fuelled by $38 billion in gov contracts, loans, subsidies & tax credits.
Tony Blair appears to be deeply complicit in this monstrous plan of ethnic cleansing. That's the consequence of not holding him to account for his war cromes.
It’s not the immigrants. It’s the billionaires ruining our country. Stop buying into the divisionary tactics of the oligarchy. It’s time to take back our country and power of the people #LaborDay
Musk backs politicians who will kill net zero. Trump has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement (again), is killing wind and solar projects, and boosting coal, oil and gas. This week, Musk again called for Germans to vote for AfD, which has the same policies. As did Reform. And Advance UK? 4/5
Elon Musk will be championing the Tommy Robinson 13/9 rally, on grounds that Nigel Farage is "weak sauce" on mass deportation and too soft on Islam Govt not even reviewing its use of X since 2022 shows different rules apply to Elon Musk than we expect of every school-child on British values
Musk is directly fuelling the real-world growth of Advance UK, as he calls people to join. According to Musk's AI bot Grok: "Advance UK reached 25K members quickly after Musk's post." Many journalists report trends on X, but should expose that Musk drives the algorithm to achieve his goals. 5/5
"Musk acts as Kingmaker" Musk switching allegiance from Reform UK to Advance UK impacts their reach on X and has real-world consequences. So says Musk's AI bot Grok (which I ask, so Musk can't dismiss the analysis so easily). Follow me here and on ko-fi (link in bio) for my full analysis. 1/5
Why is still there any self-respecting government or institution, for that matter?
Why is Labour still on X-Twitter when its owner is pushing out xenophobic rabble-rousing lies like this?

In his own voice, Elon Musk is fully committed to a replacement conspiracy theory as his main lens on UK politics.
From the U.S., Kier Starmer really does come across as a perfect example of you cannot successfully try to ape reactionary conservative politics in the long term. Labour got a single win and Starmer proceeded to drive the party into its worst polling in generations by courting the right.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping called on the leaders of countries including Russia, Iran and India to integrate their economies and build an “orderly multipolar world,” as he tried to unite them in their shared grievances with the policies of President Trump.
Oh nothing, just the actual Prime Minister telling people they’re entirely correct to drive asylum seekers out of their communities
One of the worst parts of the normalisation of extreme and overt racism is that it no longer generates any response at all when public figures are this overtly racist and have such extreme associations as those now regularly part of the networks of X owner Elon Musk and Rupert Lowe MP
The routine criminality of the openly fascist Steve Laws, whose agenda is to deport all migrants and all ethnic minorities from Britain. And who is now openly backed by the radicalised X site owner Elon Musk who openly champions extreme fascists While regulators & government just carry on using X
The ever-more radcalised Elon Musk regularly shares content from Steve Laws. Laws leads breakaway faction quitting Homeland for its leader only supporting the voluntary, not forced repatriation of British-born minorities "I don't care if they were born here, every single one must go" i

Hey look, Donald Trump — the leaders of three countries of 3 billion people got together just to laugh at you! Just imagine the fun they had discussing in detail what an idiot you are. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.
Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.
