Every military facility I've ever been in that has a television, it is tuned to Fox News. I was a military spouse for 25 years; I've seen a few military facilities. Our troops are systematically brainwashed and actively taught that independent thinking is bad, at least those who are susceptible.

I wondered how long it would be before the right wing extremist faketriots would be begging Trump to come and remove our leader. Tommy Ten-names grovels to a foreign fascist criminal leader like Trump and thinks waving a flag makes him a patriot...

In the 1700 and 1800's the British Empire controlled 1/3rd of the planet. But 99% of Britons still lived in crippling poverty. The Empire is never for you, all you get is death to make it larger.

Colonial Carnage, a 🧵... The other two threads in this trilogy list wars and assassinations, but it is impossible to gauge how many people have been murdered by the British Empire because so much killing is entirely undocumented, and it would take volumes to account for what is known.

Ah yes, Machado. Who thinks Trump is a visionary for blowing up boats in international waters, and who wanted Israel to invade Venezuela. Her peace prize has abour as much legitimacy as Trump's FIFA one. How about world leaders stop appearing war mongering madman? Trump is not an ally.

‘Now’. They refused to let the trade unions give their message during the General Strike but platformed Home Secretary W Churchill throughout. They neglected to mention the child from an orphanage that was on Lord Mountbatten’s boat for 30+ years. They’d rather tell you about pasta trees than facts.

The BBC is a cringing, craven organisation now, in hock to its right-wing hierarchy. It's much more akin to entertainment than serious news. I'm surprised journalists of the calibre of

Been watching the BBC coverage for 15 mins and there's no mention yet of the illegality of US intervention under US law [let alone international law]. Can't help think that Trump's lawsuit is causing them to feel unable to report what is happening properly.

What is the mechanism to prevent Putin from taking out Zelenskyy or Xi Jinping from taking out Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te in the same way Trump has just done with Maduro? Moscow and Beijing saw Venezuela as an ally, but they’re also noting the silver lining for them here.

Nigel Farage expresses support for Trump's "unorthodox" breach of international law - on grounds that they may "make China and Russia think twice" But the main impact on Russia and China will be to help them to legitimise aggression in cases like Ukraine and Taiwan, citing Trump/US as analogous.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It is now beyond doubt that the US is a rogue state on par with Russia. Trump and his coterie are criminals and should be treated as such. The minute any of them step foot outside the US, they should be arrested.

Just to be clear, this is an illegal order and the military should have declined to carry it out. They didn’t. I guess this means it’s no longer the American military, it’s the Trump military, and they will follow any order he gives.

Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about healthcare. Richard Tice uses ‘independent’: "Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."

They genuinely cannot distinguish between “this sounds based and gets us a lot of retweets from our neo-Nazi fan base” and “this is in reality a good idea.” They are pursuing lunatic authoritarian policies because the reward centers in their brain are tuned to social media likes and nothing else.
