One thing I don't think Americans understand is just how small and incestuous the British ruling class is. There's like 7000 people across politics and the media and certain kinds of business and think tank, who all went to the same universities, who are all married to each other.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isnât the only thing that needs doing and it isnât enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isnât done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I donât even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

I don't think people have been paying attention to the number of times the Republicans have talked about *occupying American cities* in the past few years. It's not a fucking metaphor. They're planning to deploy troops and start shooting people in January 2025.

No, we are in this mess because in 1972 the Christofascist arm of the Southern Baptists planned out a 50-year tactical map to seize the country and the rest of the country called everyone who tried to call attention to it "navel gazers" and sneered at their "elaborate fantasies".

Under todayâs immunity decision, Biden could order AG Garland to immediately prosecute Thomas and Alito for corruption and insurrection. (Official act). If Garland refuses, Biden can fire him and replace him with someone who will. (Official act) I would suggest Elie Mystal.
