I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

📌Hi, folks. It looks like Trump has cut an odious deal with Russia that threatens our national security and the balance of power in the free world.
This is one of the more important things I’ve written, and I hope you’ll give it a read and share.
This MUST NOT STAND. He is selling us out.

Do you think we’ll see a few more Republican senators and representatives retire soon so they don’t have to vote on 45-47’s third impeachment and subsequent trial?
Sad, not sad, to see Johnson replaced so the wheels of justice can grind slowly forward, again.

I mean, we all here know that Trump attempts to break international laws to the point everywhere he can.
I am just noting the separate cases of when he does it again and again to help russia.

One plan. Six pillars of international law demolished.
Trump's Ukraine plan requires the US to violate 71 international commitments, @EerikNKross has calculated.
It systematically contradicts the legal order America built over 80 years—from the Geneva Conventions to NATO's founding treaty:

🧵 I think it’s time for a little history lesson… about echo chambers and how they are used to control the people, specifically.
We simply need to look at Hitler’s regime, and in this case… it was as simple as a cheap radio. exhibitions.ushmm.org/propaganda/g...

German Radio: The People’s Receiver - State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda - United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
The Nazi’s propaganda ministry and the German radio industry heavily promoted the People’s Receiver. Not surprisingly, sales soared, as did radio listenership.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

It's unclear how many times Marco Rubio can do this--hastily convene all of Europe to present a counteroffer that Russia will inevitably refuse, only to have the Russians throw a few more bribes onto the funeral pyre of the Western order and with those bribes rope in a few more venal Trump flunkies.

Nearly 200,000 Ukrainians in the U.S. risk deportation because DHS has delayed renewing their humanitarian permits since March. Some have self-deported to avoid detention in Latin America or Africa.
This is how the U.S. is treating the refugees of an ally as peace talks hang in the balance.

Brazil didn’t stop at sentencing former president Bolsanaro to 27 years for an attempted coup; his entire inner circle—from the vice president and the military commander to the intelligence chief and even his son—are also facing decades in prison.
