I study authoritarianism for a living, so I do not say this lightly: America isn't facing an authoritarian future. America is living an authoritarian present.

Today in 1945, George Orwell published a devastating critique of Communism.

Animal Farm reveals why every communist revolution follows the same tragic pattern: liberation to corruption to oppression.

Here are 10 truths from Animal Farm Orwell warned us never to forget 🧵👇🏼

Faux outrage &blaming the club for putting her picture/signing up. Remember this man saw fit to take the piss/bully a young GK last season playing in the Scottish women’s league for making a mistake that any GK could make…
People do it because they see folk like him do it too.

Some of the replies on this.
Like, people must know that different accents, mean that some words will be pronounced in a different way?🤷🏼‍♀️

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

How do they get AWAY with this? I mean, however American your accent might be, PRUSSIAN?!

[Lynne Purdy @pars1981]

@sargo_dy @VictoriaCoren Scot here- “Sian” sounded like shin in my accent.

@samturner892 @curtisdaddylove @atrupar Meaning they want to be an independent nation.
It doesn’t mean any other country can just come in and take it.
But we know how much Trump loves Putin, and that’s exactly what he’s been trying to do to Ukraine for years so…

Anyone else think the end of the #jeopardy music sounds like the end of ‘I’m a little teapot, short and stout’?! 🫖

Despite the weather, have really enjoyed my time in Lisbon. Such a beautiful city-I’m sure it’s even more beautiful in the sun! Finishing off my last day with some cod, pastel de nata and a beer.
Obrigada Lisboa!

@ScotRail good morning! Not sure if you’re able to feed this back to the relevant person/department but one of the ticket validators at Dunfermline Qn Margaret (leading to platform 2) isn’t working.

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵

[Lynne Purdy @pars1981]

@PluknBlueberrz @kjetil_lr @RichardHanania @Timcast @TheDemocrats Because of the war, Ukraine is currently under martial law, which according to their constitution means no elections. We all went over this last week…🙄

[Lynne Purdy @pars1981]

@GregoryRoot9 @RepDonBacon Because they’re in the middle of a war!🤦‍♀️
How about Putin has an election where he doesn’t stack the odds in his favour?You can’t just invade a country&claim the land,though I see why Trump is happy for that to happen-thinks it will give him justification to do it too…
