I haven't been paying attention.
Was it all funded by "growth", "increased efficiency", "trickle out" economics, & a crack down on "benefit cheats"?

Excuse me if I don't believe it.
Farage cooking political books. A pinch of selective Labour social policies, a mix of Tory unfunded tax cuts all whitewashed down with a swig of racism after every ingredient is added. Populism at it's worst. Reform are the new Blackshirts. Farage is a new Oswald Mosley. #BBCnews

As todays "Ain't nature awesome" entry I offer you this picture.
It's a grass seedling, from tip to tip about 20cm/8".
Just at the base of the overground section, you can see the original seed case.

The whole of that little plant came from a seed about 2mm/0.1" long.
Marvellous!

IMHO USAmerika is making a mash up of 1984, Brave New World, The HandmaidsTale, Metropolis, & Animal Farm.

There's bits of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Blade Runner), The Time Machine, I,Robot, Back to the Future 3, & many of the early bond movies.

I may have missed some though.

He's not "blaming ... with zero evidence"!
If it looks like a lie, sounds like a lie, and smells like a lie ... guess what?
It's a lie.

Donold is lying that the plane crash that killed 67 people was the fault of DEI policies.

DEI stops this 👇

Those 10,000 were probablnot paying tax anyway so -no loss
10,000 of 3,000,000 millionaires left the country last year - 0.33%. These people would rather leave than pay tax - good riddance I say. Let’s not change our approach to appease rich freeloaders.

Wake up USAmerika! You have elected an authoritarian, fascist (but supported by full on Nazis), absolute ruler/diktator.

Join the resistance.
Tom Morello was right.
And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era.
It is time to organize.
Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us.

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social.

I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be:

“Newspapers die in cowardice.”
