Trump’s obeisance to Putin has been established beyond even the vaguest scintilla of doubt; the possibility of another January 6-style assault on US democracy after/during the mid-terms is clearly acute and ‘we’ are still wary of calling fascism fascism. These are the moments…

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears. Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.

every elected official they interview in this article, except derrick van orden who they lead with for some reason, had their death threats instigated & encouraged by donald trump. the country doesn't have an incivility problem, it has a maga death cult problem

I wonder if Americans in general understand the damage being done. There is a ground war in Europe. Russia has invaded its neighbour, without any justification. And the United States is now siding with Russia. What do you think we Europeans think of that?

I was at a freelancing event a few weeks ago and an assistant editor was all "I'm only going for big jobs now, my time has come, I have a niche" etc and I had to tell her all about the very many, VERY experienced and brilliant editors I knew who were mostly unemployed or doing jobs they hated

This is NOT journalism. For shame, BBC. For shame

I have a (non-Nazi-era) German army-issued parka which is so warm I only wore the whole inner and outer when I was filming outside in Iceland over a New Year. Any other time the outer part is enough. The tiny german flag does get some men into a tizz mind.

that's a stunning colour and really suits you

Ooooh now that's gorgeous (the coat and Bowie. My favourite look of his)

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

a peak of 10.3 million viewers for Celebrity Traitors last night is incredible. Really.

And he’s not even as fascist as Jenrick

I don’t know but I’ve written to the ministers responsible several times and only get a blah blah reply as I watch my industry dying.

That’s gorgeous

When we moved to London, the estate we lived on near Ladbroke Grove was full of National Front/British Movement supporters. It was all “Engerland for the Engerlish.” They HATED us and everyone else who wasn’t white English. Nasty, narrow minded bigots who were miserable so blamed everyone else.

I have a British passport in my drawer because I AM British. But I’m not culturally English - I’m Scottish. Do I not count as real British to honest Bob? Or to his racist cronies? I grew up with this shit, from uneducated fascists. And now it’s openly spoken out loud by a political leader. Fuck him

America has fallen
