When did it all go wrong? Here’s my late-night suggestion. A short🧵 .

2007 is when, and what went wrong was Gordon Brown failing to call a snap election when the polls were highly in his favour. 1/4

@aprilajoyr @TheRynheart And they will fight each other like rats in a sack.

If it can be proved that
it's not genocide
that would be a huge relief.
It would mean that it's only
a huge massacre,
mass killing
and widespread slaughter
In which case
it would be OK.

Putin saying the quiet part out loud.

This man sounds utterly insane.

Incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan on blue state governors saying they will protect people from deportation raids: "If you're not gonna help us, get the hell out of the way. Because we're going to do it ... we may have to double the number of agents we send to New York City."

Capitalism, eh? Note that US Fanta contains no juice at all.

[Simon Kuestenmacher @simongerman600]

Anyone able to confirm that a Greek Orange Fanta tastes seven times as juicy as a German Orange Fanta?

Long, detailed and important rebuttal of the dominant narrative.

THREAD: It’s now pretty clear what happened in Amsterdam this week. But first some background.

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

A couple of things.
1. Being able to ratio Ursula Von der Leyen when she commiserates with racist football hooligans, rather than murdered Palestinian children, and expose media misinformation in real time, is a core reason to stay on twitter. This stuff doesn't happen elsewhere.

[Simon Fraser 🔶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 💙 @Esseph63]

Immensely powerful and frightening article.

[Tom Scott 🇺🇦 @Tom___Scott]

Timothy D. Snyder puts a finger on something I've been losing sleep over - the way that resurgent fascism, now backed by obscene wealth & an unprecedentedly powerful propaganda machine, is beginning to weaponize the climate & ecological crisis. https://t.co/hmeZRYutQ0

[Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola @Frances_Coppola]

This is astonishing.

[sandra @mrsDugskullery]

We should retweet the video that SKY News took down and Asa Winstanley thankfully saved. I mean it would be rude not to. 😵‍💫

[Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola @Frances_Coppola]

I know the "free press" is anything but free, but I still find it chilling to see such blatant censorship.

[Adam @AdameMedia]

Arabs say slurs

Israelis say slogans.

The change in framing is insane. They think we’re stupid.

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

No matter how bad things seem to be right now, take consolation in the fact that none of it will matter in 100 years, when climate change has killed you all.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The level of dehumanization required for the western media to completely ignore this bigoted and deliberate incitement in Amsterdam is off the charts.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

We are now expected to think football hooligans engaged in property damage and violence should have complete carte Blanche, and impunity from any consequences, because they come from a specific country.

Just absolutely wild - as any sensible person realises.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

Sky News tweeted a report which unambiguously captured the racist and genocidal chants of Israeli fans.

It’s now been deleted.

No lies told here…

Worth remembering that the NHS is seen as one the world’s greatest untapped ‘goldmines’ by vulture capitalists.

@elonmusk Cost per ton cannot be more than 100% less expensive than previously. At 100% less, the cost is zero.

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I?
