Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

It is remarkable how the sloppy the rush to prosecute Hunter during an election year for crimes almost no one else would face has been compared to the intentional slow-walking of Trump's massive crimes against the republic. This is what right-wing capture of the courts feels like.

Why does the right always want to separate people when the left always seeks to win by bringing people together? The only way humanity will mitigate climate catastrophe is via collectivism surely the GOP as it currently is a Trump Cult wow

The paradox is of course that the Tories deserve electoral oblivion for what they’ve done yet at the same time the only way to bring about PR is via a hung parliament with the Lib Dems as the kingmakers. Won’t happen this time round.

How many of you know what happened yesterday? A new "independent" review for the government, proposing that the last rights of left-wing movements to protest are terminated. Blatantly partisan, dictator's powers, yet scarcely any coverage. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Folks smarter than me will point you today to how to *listen* to Steve Albini's impact on the music Gen X grew up with. I want to encourage you to read him in his own words, with "The Problem with Music," a essay he wrote for The Baffler in 1993 warning rising bands about "music industry scum." RIP.

A better measure of a country’s economic health than the very one dimensional “growth” should be how it cares for its young and old. On these indicators the UK is in very poor shape indeed!

Instead of prison why not just fire him into the sun, preferably with a live video link, which would effectively be the U.S saying “we’re truly sorry world” I think this would begin a great healing process

U.S style religious conservatism is a cancer that will need to be eradicated in all its UK based forms when Labour comes to power. Anything less to give up in advance to the insidious creep by lobbying that will ensure if an inch of ground is given.

Not enough thought/wider discussion has been devoted to the lack of free human will that results from self driven cars. The only benefit is supposedly, safety. If even this is not guaranteed then it’s just mass scale surveillance capitalism, to say nothing of AI. Way more terrifying than road deaths

All UK political parties should agree to cessation of all ties with Israel until Netanyahu is removed, can’t see why that’s so hard really.

It’s not naive to expect that a privatised utility (Water) that’s paid average dividends of £22bn per year every year since taken out of public ownership should be operating with state of the art infrastructure and facilities not to mention providing excellent value for money for its end users (us!)

Trump's plan to end the Ukraine war is to help Putin get what he wants. The consequences, most dramatically to Ukrainians, but also to the West and the world, would be immense. Good for Russia, good for anti-democracy forces, bad for everyone else. We're staring down an inflection point of history.

It’s ironic that the extremist through line of the last 14 years of Tory (mis) rule is Gove himself, the one constant under several PMs that truly “undermines the UK’s liberal democracy” so it really should be him that is “banned from public life”, by his own proposed legislation, no?

“Build 380k new homes a year” CANNOT be the only solution to the UK housing crisis. Crow barring boomers out of houses that are too big for them is vital - we actually already have enough bedrooms to solve the issue, but effectively too many of them are owned by older couples who don’t use them!
