1. A common mistake is to look for ideological consistency on the far right, and to become confused when some of the things it claims to stand for sound positive and even progressive. Here’s a thread on how to understand this. 🧵

We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare.
Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.

The "prominent political figure" framing was created by the judge who granted Tim Jago's initial suppression, on two explicit grounds:
* economic impacts on Jago
* political impacts on Jago and his former party in election year

The judge used name suppression to do politics, and that is wrong

maybe a white male sexual predator is such a common news item but an ex MP lawyer shoplifting is seen as more interesting by media. If so that is sad
If only Tim Jago had been accused of shoplifting... #nzpol

Americans should not just brush away trump's press briefing on the air collision in DC as just another example of trump being trump.

It was an epic disaster, but it was normal for 2 minutes.

There are fewer news items about ACT Party's Tim Jago being convicted of sexually abusing minors, than of ex MP Golriz Gharaman being questioned at a supermarket. 🤬
