BREAKING: The Federal Trade Commission just issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario. This is another significant example of President Biden being the most pro-worker President in American history.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

“Fundamentally a second Trump term could mean the end of American democracy as we know it.”

In a joint interview with ABC News, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson, and Sarah Matthews, three conservative former Trump administration officials warned America of the danger of a second Trump term, and pledged to vote for President Biden if Trump is the GOP nominee:

“I’ve never voted for a Democrat in my life, but I think that in this next election, I would put policy aside and choose democracy”

[SakeCat @Sakecat]

Brilliant.

British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: President Biden has ordered the deployment of "all available federal firefighting assets" to fight wildfires in Canada.

The White House said Biden made the order after speaking with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about the evolving wildfire situation, where the American president pledged continued support to Canada.

“The President has directed his team to deploy all available Federal firefighting assets that can rapidly assist in suppressing fires impacting Canadian and American communities.”

We may be two countries, but we are ONE world.

Isn’t it great when our nations can work together to solve a problem? 💙

BREAKING: Disney continues to TROLL Ron DeSantis as Disneyland announces its first-ever pride event.

The event will celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and will have themed entertainment, dance parties, Disney characters, and specialty menu items.

The event is seen as a direct response to DeSantis’ alarming and dangerous policies.

DeSantis continues to elevate his attacks against LGBTQ people.

Disney has had enough.

Thank you Disney! We stand with you! 💙

HUGE BREAKING NEWS: For 20 years, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been breaking the law by accepting travel on private jets and visits to private resorts via superyacht from a Republican megadonor — and failed to report any of it on his financial disclosures, raising the obvious suggestion that he was being bribed to hand down Republican court rulings.
