As a dark-skinned man with a Muslim first name who lives in Germany I am taking this as a personal attack. Which is exactly what these racist monsters intend. This speech is designed to escalate mob violence against us. Nothing less. To everyone who said we were exaggerating, shame on you.

@marcgooderham.bsky.social Thought for about 10 seconds this was yours.

The exponential decline of BBC is such a depressing spectacle. It needs a clear out of senior management - and the likes of Mason and Kuenssberg.

Has anyone been held accountable yet?

Trump: "2+2 = 5" US media: "country adjusts to the new reality" BBC: "Trump strikes note of optimism"

Oddly fascinated by the BBC's ability to use accurate language in headlines about Germany, but not the US.

So now we know what the BBC reporting strategy on Trump will be for the next 4 years: “President Trump said [insert latest outrageous /ludicrous/insulting/inflammatory statement] without evidence” No challenge.

BBC are never going to be anything other than supportive of Trump.

Pretty obvious to most BBC licencepayers that much of its news operation has been captured by the same forces of the extreme Right, yet no one in the Labour government seems to have noticed.

Media needs to find a way of reporting Trump’s reality as opposed to reality. Here he is apportioning blame to individuals who are not to blame. This is Orwellian. #r4today #Washington

Trump's performance was grotesque, breaking with all norms of decency. In choosing to describe it as 'combative', BBC plays its part in the normalisation of evil.

We need to get past the disbelief. Disbelief is a sign we've not fully accepted the reality. NOBODY should be surprised about any of this.

The BBC and other major news providers have to stop pretending that Donald Trump as president is in anyway normal because it normalises this... and I don't know quite what it is but it sure as hell is not normal

Media-washed by the oligarch-owned press: media-washed by the right-leaning broadcast media.

Worthy of a complaint, but you know it would be dismissed.

Media-washed in UK just as much as US.

No, the headline is "Trump attacks minorities to cover up his own culpability in crash", it's time to start playing the game we are actually in

You won't be reading about this story anywhere else. None of the broadcasters will mention it.

And there my friends is the problem. God forbid people might actually know a lot on the subject, temper their opinions with some facts and might even move the discussion forward.

“It’s because of the woke”

"We need to do our best, as Trump and his allies do their worst." Important also to keep remembering or creating a politics where leaders invite citizens to be and do their best, in an imperfect world, rather than reveling in conduct that should be reviled and celebrating the worst of human nature.

The orchestrated chorus of mediocrities predictably chanting about DEI is the best living argument for DEI one could find. I hope the Democrats have forceful people in front of cameras, angrily and loudly calling out these lies, shaming them, and explaining what the administration is doing, and why.

A government driven by fear is a government that will fail.

‘I consider my remarks about President Trump as ill-judged and wrong.’ It turns out Lord Mandelson could sink even lower

He's not entirely sure if he is Hitler or Jim Davidson.

Because there's no need for trusted global news that isn't owned by an oligarch. No need at all.

The blizzard of executive orders aims to project power, and sow confusion and conflict in the opposition (what to do! who comes first!). One goal should be to ensure that chaos lands and opens fissures among the issuers of these orders, as it will, not their targets. Let the arrows turn back on them

The only part of the BBC that has retained its reputation.

So, the British people gave a once in a generation landslide to a Labour government to enact Liz Truss's Britannia Unchained. You're looking at a one-term government. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Evil has a face. Thing is, it doesn't even need to pretend to be anything else.

This is all happening under a Labour government. They could step in. They are choosing not to, instead they are choosing to deprive our young of these opportunities to learn.

Why we should take Trump seriously on Greenland open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Excellent dissection of Starmer's guff in the Times: "Racing towards the conclusion, Starmer’s article now delivers an avalanche of meaning-flavoured meaningless". Do they really think anyone is influenced by this?

@skynewss.bsky.social Why do you indulge in this ridiculous, misogynistic attack on Reeves?

Just visited Robben Island. The footage shown of the deeply racist white south Africans makes me even more concerned about the influence of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, both products of that appalling culture. We should be very afraid of what they will do.

Oo, this looks interesting. Wonder who wrote it? 🤔 #democracy

But 100% of the cabinet are too scared to do anything about it.

We are living in a cursed timeline. We have so much knowledge, freely available, but we'd all rather be led by stupid, ignorant, hateful people.

what I mean is - if you resort to emotions for economic decisions then expect to pay a hefty price - which is exactly what we have seen as an outcome.

emotions won't pay for public services or increase prosperity in line with international peers.

Disgraceful from Sky

When I finished high school in Brussels in 1999, the vast majority of students from my year, who came from all over Europe, especially those with really good exam results, wanted to go to university in only one country: The UK.

Everyone must watch this. @bbcdaniels.bsky.social @bbcdomc.bsky.social @bbcstever.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social @theguardian.com Why is this unconstitutional power grab by Trump not being reported in the UK?

Have you ever seen anything so absurdly infantile and pathetic

Pleased to report that Tynwald, the government of the Isle of Man, is withdrawing from X.

I am really trying very hard to stay as collected and constructive as possible about the general state of the world but WHO ARE WE KIDDING.

Dreadful by Starmer - how low is he willing to sink?

They lied to you, then took the money you gave them and used it to pay more people to lie to you. I’m a bit suspicious of those who were on the payroll realizing only *now* that the Dems are in on the GOP con. But for the sincerely confused, an explainer: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/behold-a-p...
