Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.
I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.
Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Saw Tom Daley on the tube, saw Rowan Williams somewhere - can’t remember- probably just the street in London. Famously did not see Dawn French and Lenny Henry when they came in the (quite small) bookshop I worked in as a teenager.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

A core feature of the Trump regime is its embrace of "authoritarian democracy", as a battering ram with which to demolish any obstacle to its power.
The very notion of "authoritarian democracy" can sound contradictory.
But it's an old & dangerous idea, that needs to be better understood. [THREAD]

Stephen Miller on the court order to release Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk: "There's a judicial coup in this country....This judicial coup by a handful of Marxist judges...can only be understood as an attack on democracy."

Last month was the 2nd warmest March on record globally (after last year). Some of the largest warm departures were found over Baffin Bay and eastern Europe. The USA was quite warm as well.

I once received an electric shock during torture only for writing for Radio Liberty: I was told that it was "a CIA structure and an enemy of Russia", and for that reason alone I was already guilty.
Now, the "enemy of Russia" is being destroyed by America itself, and my torture seems doubly in vain.

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

The thing about Parks' action after her courage is she was an "activist", backed by a "campaign", this was a planned action, and she deliberately broke the law. I wonder why this is so carefully hidden.
Per Greg Alt "Most people know a bit about Rosa Parks getting arrested for refusing to give up her seat to an entitled white man. It's usually presented as a spontaneous action. In fact, she had been the secretary of the local NAACP for a dozen years and was frustrated with the lack of results." 1/5

Sacking of the Archivist of the United States as confirmed on LinkedIn. It’s an essential part of our democracy that archives are not controlled by politicians, but this certainly looks like political control.

Bit puzzled as to why UK news outlets don’t appear to be covering (or at least headlining) the news about Musk’s people apparently taking over control of key US Treasury Department databases from career civil servants.
It seems…bad.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?
