The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page.
No wonder Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

"tough decision" = a decision made by someone in authority to hurt someone vulnerable or abandon a basic moral principle in order to appease bullies, bigots or donors. Often someone taking a "tough decision" will be commended for their "moral courage" by a newspaper columnist

Once again, we are way too relaxed about the fact that "shooting Irish people is good actually" is a mainstream political position on the neighbouring island.

Look folks, it's really, really simple.
Either we find our way to ecosocialism, or we're going to be ruled like serfs under a hereditary plutocracy gorging itself on everything good that's still up for grabs as the overheated, over-polluted world dies under our feet.

Important - in a global order in which international rules are losing importance, one part of the emerging replacement is this neo-royalist approach involving interlinked states and companies. Once again, put away the deglobalisation simplisms.
1/This week has seen a blitz of what looks like corruption sandals: Saudi development deals for US military tech, Pakistani payments to Trump insiders for tariff relief, Swiss gold bars for a trade deal. Far from a payoff, this is a reordering of internat'l system.

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

Behr et al didn't just support Starmer because he wasn't Corbyn, but because he appeared to match their ideal politician: a business-like administrator who mouthed conventional platitudes and had no interest in challenging the neoliberal orthodoxy. It is that worldview that has failed, not one man.

Without extending an ounce of sympathy to Labour or their wretched policies, this is one of those front pages that makes so abundantly clear how the UK political system works and where power resides, because it clearly doesn't reside with the people in political office nor those who elected them.

Perhaps some Labour MP will ask the Home Secretary if gold fillings & crowns will be removed from the mouths of asylum seekers and refugees? Surely their hair could be cut off and put to good use? And if they happen to die in the UK, their skin, flesh, fat and organs will presumably not be wasted?

Jewellery is traditionally the easiest way to carry wealth. It's small, it can be worn or hidden, it can be made of solid gold. You could turn everything you had into a necklace to carry.
Imagine many refugees do this, or it represents the only part of their own wealth they could save.

Given that the money raised from this is going to amount to loose change in the government accounts, the only reason it is being proposed is to satisfy the cruellest instincts of the worst voters and media outlets. Gutter politics
Ministers now appear to be confirming in broadcast interviews that they would audit and could confiscate assets (including jewellery) excepting wedding rings from the jewellery that they could confiscate.

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.
Every single human in the world is the product of migration.
It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.
That’s never going to change.
Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.
