If you oppose this unconstitutional, unconscionable war, make sure you voice your views. This is by the first measures the most unpopular war in modern history. Make sure your representatives know this.

I just bought us an estate (British for station wagon) today. The boot space is incredible

As an American who immigrated to the UK (and am now a citizen), it's been very disheartening how often my existence gets boiled down to a financial transaction devoid of any humanity, my humanity

Trump’s Year of Anarchy The unconstrained presidency and the end of American primacy.

As much as I do not want to write stuff like this, I am pleased that @profsaunders.bsky.social and I got to co-author something that is accessible but also good for the syllabus. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

And of course, the American is like "what have overseas people done recently for MY local community" lol

As if we don't have our own right wing problems that need attention. It's not on me to fix American fascism.

Oh, okay lol - yes, it sure is grand sitting over here in my armchair (lol) watching the USA descend into abject tyranny and transform into Europe's enemy while people like you cosplay doing something about it. Many thanks for your efforts.

These activities are objectively good and will do good, but you're operating in the old paradigm. The Constitution is effectively dead. What you do with the information is up to you. Poland in the 20th century is a case study.

These are great charitable endeavors to improve your local community, but I have to be honest, I don't see any activity that will actually put a physical stop to any of the illegal things happening in the United States.

Neither the sentiment expressed in the image nor your sentiment is helpful. What is required at this juncture is action.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

Traveled last weekend up to Edinburgh, a long drive we cut in half by staying in Cumbria. Behold, both the Howgill Fells (the hills) and an incredible breakfast. British food is good and I'll hear no slander against it

Man, the NHS is just incapable and incompetent at every level. An absolute national embarrassment.

Just a note, the UK does not have birthright citizenship in 100% of cases. Worth having the facts correct - it's why the 14a is important, as a part of the Constitution it is forever enshrined, unlike the law in the UK which can change at any time if parliament wants it to change

I am now a British citizen - it's been a long and expensive journey! Glad that it's finally over after all the costs and time spent.

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit.

Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear.

Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.
