For anyone outside of the UK, unfamiliar with UK satirical/news magazine Private Eye, this is how most (?) Europeans see the Trump administration.

Asserting international law only when it is in your own/allies interest means not being committed to international law at all. Being dragged into a war by more powerful allies against direct interest and better judgement means having no strategic autonomy. The UK Govt is in a mess.

I'm hearing reports that the elderly despotic leader is now afraid to reenter the capital and is attempting to establish a functioning government in a gilded palace located in a remote southern part of the country.

Two deeply unpopular political leaders are bombing a deeply unpopular regime… none of them care about their citizens.

NEWS! Man who said he wouldn't get involved in foreign wars starts foreign war over nuclear capability he claimed was totally obliterated a few months ago newsthump.com/2026/02/28/m...

"Let's be blunt. Let's be brutally honest with ourselves. When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to. You don't look at the electorate and ask them, what were you thinking? You look at yourself and ask, what were we doing?" Keir?

Trump: I am threatening an illegal war with Iran, covering up evidence I sexually assaulted a 13 year old, openly stealing from the Treasury, trying to ban critical media, steal the midterm elections, and kill American citizens who oppose me. Democrats: We must maintain strict decorum!

Some have tried to avoid the issue, by morally judging her. But she had a traumatic life, abused as a young child, ensnared by Epstein and Maxwell as their slave. We should not judge someone who suffered so much trauma, by normal standards. What she did was heroic, and she outed the elite. 2/2

I personally think this extreme wealth concentration and growth are the main reasons democracy is faltering. We can, as a public united, push for change. We do not have to accept this as our future.

Labour front benchers scratch their heads and wonder why their base has collapsed, why so many people are disillusioned, frustrated, furious. I mean, what is it about pissing on every value and principle your party once upheld that alienates the electorate? Beats me. 🤔

This obnoxious, tax-avoiding, entitled, f*ckwit doesn't even live in the UK, having shipped out to Monaco There is no good side to capitalism, but this dismal billionaire epitomises the very worst of this greed-based, exploitative, destructive, system www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Would be good if the Prime Minister and/or Home Secretary would for once come out and describe this as the unadulterated racism and xenophobia it so clearly is.

This diagram is in Polish, but fairly easy to understand. The upper section is U.S. assistance for Ukraine during the Biden and Trump admin The lower is russian drone and missile attacks during the same time frame Tell me more about how Trump's negotiations are working.

Camps, where detainees can be concentrated.

Allowing elites and corporations to fund political campaigns means they install political leaders who shape policy to their benefit. It is institutionalised political corruption, there's no other way to describe it. Democracy cannot function under these conditions.

I almost appreciate how Trump has exposed how vacant every single high profile conservative belief was: free speech, states’ rights, letting the market decide, NATO, the right to bear arms, democracy, all of it. It’s been an empty, malicious political project for decades and decades now

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Just saw this on Mastodon:

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans. When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share: “Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.” (link below)

Trump wants to annex Greenland to prevent it from being annexed by other members of the 'Board of Peace.'

Don't really have a dog in the ban-social-media-for-under-16s fight, but seems utterly irrational to demand it now. A country which is comparable to Britain has just done so. Surely, if you were remotely committed to evidence, you would take a year to see how it goes before proposing we copy them.

Americans need to realise that they are the only ones who can fix this - they have to deal with their MAGA problem because of the military-industrial complex and nukes. There is no redoing of how fascism got destroyed the last time round. There are no liberal democracies who can come to the rescue.

Northern Lights over Greenland 🇬🇱

I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.

Reminder of the spectacularly poor judgement of these people

I wrote this poem the day after Renee Good was murdered - it’s about how the media and politicians immediately dehumanised her. I have had a few people ask “who wrote it?” So I am putting it up again - written in anger

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny

Imagine being this bad of a person. Granted, it’s probably a requirement for being married to Stephen Miller, but what a shit-tier human being you have to be in order to say something like this.

You won’t find the Epstein files in Venezuela mate #trump 📍by the US Embassy, London

New euphemism for "bottomless corruption and naked abuses of power" just dropped

Europe needs to get much more comfortable threatening Trump with serious deterrent measures, and if necessary implementing them. Tariffs, taxes & bans on US firms; selloffs of US Treasuries; expulsions of American troops; sanctions on individuals. Speak his language: strength.

Reminder: The US has refused to join the International Criminal Court because it argues extraterritorial justice is incompatible with national sovereignty and citizen's rights.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

The media, w/o fail, get a hard-on for optics of military action. Rewind videotape to any of the made-for-TV fireworks — see Gulf War, Iraq War. Media execs fear questioning admin decisions in the name of "supporting the military," not the legality or morality of actions at the top. They fail us.

Europe and the UK’s decision to appease Trump was a moral disaster. He’s a far-right bully waging war with the world and our response has been insipid, supine acceptance.

My wish for 2026 is that Europeans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in their own country as they are about them in the U.S. and that Americans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in the U.S. as Europeans are.

The dictator’s threats and dirty tricks go unanswered and unpunished. We can’t keep rolling over like this ✏️ @lukemcgee.bsky.social

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

Not a “good guy with a gun” — a brave soul who *took* a gun from a murdering fool who may imagine *he’s* the “good guy with a gun,” and then the real hero did not use it for more killing but *put the gun down.* Let’s put the fucking guns down. Every last idiot bang bang stick in the world.

The US is not just Europe’s unwilling ally, but an adversary steeped in far-right ideology | Cas Mudde

One thing about climate change: it disproves the capitalist ideology that poor people's suffering is their own fault. Billionaires emit as much in a day as the world's 4 billion poorest emit in a yr, yet those 4 billion humans suffer most from climate impacts. This is inequality, and it is evil.

Fuck Trump. Fuck FIFA. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If it looks like a white supremacist, swims like a white supremacist, and quacks like a white supremacist, then it probably is a white supremacist.

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.
