I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

An aspiring dictator & convicted felon w history of treason may win the presidency. Profoundly corrupt SCOTUS justices undermined the constitution and gave him immunity from prosecution for past & future crimes. This is all political journalists should be writing about 24/7. We’re at the precipice.

Its a counter revolution if anything. The OG American Revolution replaced a monarchy with a republic. This restores a monarchy at the cost of our republic.

Julian Assange is free (www.theguardian.com/media/articl...)

Jeremy Corbyn wrote today:
"Julian exposed the crimes of the powerful. His incarceration was — and always will be — a grotesque miscarriage of justice. Never stop fighting for the truth. Never lose hope. Never, ever give up."

So some astronauts stranded at ISS by Boeing's Starliner may need to be bailed out by SpaceX. Too soon to tell for sure. Here's hoping for the best and safest outcome. Can't help but think - if Boeing is going to strand anyone in space it should be Boeing's executive leadership.

Largely an election op IMO. Flood the zone with both-sides-ism (or worse) to muddy the election discourse.

IMO the most powerful Tories are for self-enrichment. Nothing more, nothing less. Their policies have objectively failed until you notice how much they've enriched themselves using policy as pretext. Maybe a fair number of nostalgic bigots are along for the ride, make your own call on that.

The King of England lies dying and one of his sons has been exiled. A princess has vanished. Plague stalks the land and the Treasury has been plundered. NOW is the time for strange women lying in ponds to distribute swords to form the basis of government.
