Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.
“Why can’t we have any regulations for US tech in Britain?”
Because the US trade rep has gone to every country including Britain and said if we regulate tech in a way that favours our people, industries and national interests, the US will bury us in tariffs and ruin our economy.

Dear Ratty,
Christmas is such a busy time in the city that I have neglected writing to you… but I hope that my Christmas card arrived in time. I’ve discovered that there is a mole in the flat next to mine, and we’ve gotten on well even though he is Irish. A happy New Year to you ! Ever yours, Mole

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

Just finished #Thegreatgatsby. It’s a strange story… I wonder how I’d feel about it if it weren’t an undisputed classic.

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

The people who call for ending immigration are effectively calling for economic and cultural stagnation. Presumably they are fine with that, but no patriotic USian should be. #proimmigration

Dear Ratty, my first month in She-kaw-go has been better than expected. I’ve already rented a lovely flat which is mostly underground, and not far from the river bank. Ever yours, Mole.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
