This American administration meets the textbook definition of fascism.

Depressing to see the former leader of the free world decline into this.
Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

They have so much in common, after all.
The White House is hosting Conor McGregor today, who the Irish High Court ruled four months ago assaulted and raped a woman.

Press Secretary Karoline Levitt says the Trump Administration "couldn't think of a better guest to have on St Patrick's Day."

He will be meeting Trump later.

Not too surprising when a large percentage of the population automatically believes everything they read on Twitter or Facebook. Critical thought and reasoning has gone out of the window.
NEW 🧵 Is human intelligence starting to decline?

Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s

What should we make of this?

This is child abuse and such people should not be allowed custody.

Mandatory child vaccination is necessary.
“The death of his daughter, Peter told me, was God’s will. God created measles. God allowed the disease to take his daughter’s life.”

It’s no wonder that people who think like this also think that vaccines are bad. Zero rational thought involved.

Poor kid didn’t deserve this.

Growing number of experts say that Trump is providing Russia with intelligence against Ukraine. Russian forces in Kursk miraculously had extremely precise coordinates for Ukrainian troop locations, logistics and ammo depots in Kursk after Trump cut off aid. A day before Russia was on the back foot.

Hundreds of thousands of American jobs in the defense sector are now hanging by a thread, because Trump is thinking that he has good relationship with Putin, an individual, who repeatedly bemoaned the fall of the Soviet Empire, and made clear how much he hates the USA for that.

Almost as if the whole thing was confected by a handful of right-wing media gobshites.

A lesson for Labour to be brave and not listen to the r/w press. They spout nonsense and don’t represent the views of the majority of the population.

During a meeting with Putin, the mother of a deceased Russian soldier openly admitted to abducting a child from the occupied Kherson region and taking them to Russia. Another example of a heinous violation of human rights by Russia and its people.
