Bezos saw it coming & did what he needed to do. Who knows what comes next but this now is oligarchy. It’s the cojoining of state power & business interests. It’s 90s Russia. It’s the chaos before the crackdown. It’s Musk & Thiel & every cryptobro chancer in Silicon Valley

🧵People don’t care that a rich man is a predator, a liar, a bigot & a dolt. Some rationalise their choice on “economy” or 🙄 “family values” but really: He hates the same people they do - and that’s the draw. Trump voters will celebrate, but they’ll learn… he hates them too.

Never heard Oxfam condemn anything so strongly as they condemn Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people…because it is a stain on humanity. The level of brutality is staggering!

Trump: “It used to be global warming but that didn’t work because we’re actually cooling.” Dear US, please don’t give us a president who has totally lost contact with reality. Global warming is an observed fact. Millions are suffering the impacts: more heat, drought & floods.
Trump says climate change doesn’t matter: “The ocean will rise... Who the hell cares?”

Before Valencia - the record breaking German floods in 2021 should have woken us up. Seems we are determined to go over the climate change cliff edge in near total denial

Calling it as it is—an attack on Palestinian survival itself. Governments may stay silent, but independent UN experts, int’l law and human rights defenders, won’t. The dismantling of UNRWA’s work is Israel legislating away Palestinian rights, inch by inch. And the ‘international community’ remains silent. If the UN Charter stands for anything, it’s time to show it.

20,000 missing children in Gaza- some maimed beyond recognition. On top of the 17,000 killed in 12 months. We call it genocide because it is genocide.
