'It isn’t sustained by fear alone, but by giving up. Don´t!'
America isn’t drifting toward authoritarianism. It is living it. Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive with a dramatic or coup-like event. It advances quietly, in daylight, through choices, habits, and silence. The administration made all their actions clear, they spelled it out!

A young mother tells an ICE agent: "That's fine dude, I'm not mad at you."
Then the ICE agent shoots her 3 times in the head and says "f*cking b*tch".
That’s it, right? The tipping point?

Sir James Dyson's most notable invention was a way to vacuum up money. He abandoned Britain following the Brexit he supported, his legacy is hot air, and we think of him whenever we dry our hands in a smelly public toilet.

Here is Pete Hegseth, on several occasions in 2016, lauding the military "ethos" that means they will refuse to follow unlawful orders - which he reckons is treason, now that they are his orders - because "there have to be consequences for abject war crimes".

Surely it's time for the decent Tory's driven out by Johnson to step up to reclaim their party?
I disagreed with most of what they said or did, but at least their intentions weren't entirely racist, self-serving, narcissistic, fascistic, rage-baiting bollocks.

Prepare for Black Friday by relinquishing any lingering hope that a tiny spark of decency might still flicker in the Stygian wasteland of the human spirit as we plunge ever deeper into the clammy vortex of a consumerist dystopia. And try to cheer up, it'll soon be Christmas.

Yet again we’re being warned that if we ask billionaires to pay their fair share of tax they might leave. So it’s definitely worth trying.

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

'The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.'
Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.
For anyone still tempted to take Dominic Cummings at all seriously, he's now an advocate of Donald Trump-style open racism.
