Oh my word. This protest is absolutely huge. On a week day as well. Wow. #TrumpProtests
The protest is so big we have to start marching to Trafalgar Square 40 minutes earlier than planned.

We have already drastically exceeded our expectations. #TrumpProtests
Live at the mass demo in central London #TrumpProtests
#TrumpProtests 🤣
Is the biggest weekday protest in British history? #TrumpProtest
The protest has entered Trafalgar Square and the back stretches to Marylebone, a mile and a half away #TrumpProtest
I thought tens of thousands would turn up to protest against Trump on a week day.

250,000 people have so far marched. Incredible. #TrumpProtest
We organised a bigger protest in Britain against @realDonaldTrump and everything he stands for than turned up to his own inauguration in the United States 🤣🤣🤣
The team who made this incredible protest happen are some of the most amazing activists and leaders I’ve ever met.

So proud to be a part of @UKStopTrump. ✊️ #TrumpProtest

The Spectator, a magazine which has printed articles defending Greek neo-Nazis and entitled 'In Defence of the Wehrmacht', has published a defence of Macron's abandoned honouring of the French Nazi collaborator Petain, who sent Jews to the gas chambers.
Petain was an enthusiastic Nazi collaborator who introduced anti-Jewish laws without the Germans even asking, and personally intervened to make those laws harsher. Is that mentioned by The Spectator? No. Petain's regime sent 77,000 Jews to Nazi camps. theguardian.com/world/2010/oct…
There is not one mention of Jews in The Spectator article on Petain. Erasing any mention of his enthusiastic persecution and complicity in the Holocaust - in order to justify honouring him - is revolting historic revisionism.

Genuine question. Why is the Telegraph treated as a respectable news organisation, whose journalists are held in high esteem, well-connected, invited to all the press conferences, to gatherings and parties of the great and the good - but, say, The Canary is beyond the pale?
By the way, this tweet isn’t an endorsement of The Canary. The question is why The Telegraph is treated as respectable - a paper which twists news for partisan purposes, peddles lies, has published front page anti-Semitism and Boris Johnson’s Islamophobia - while The Canary isn’t
There are those responding saying: well I have equal contempt for The Telegraph and The Canary! That doesn’t answer the question as to why one is respectable and mainstream and one isn’t. There is no valid defence of this which isn’t utterly disingenuous.

A thread. The Telegraph's Defence Editor churns out Saudi propaganda after going to a Saudi party.

He is married to Katherine Bergen who worked for Meade Hall & Associates, paid lobbyists for Bahrain's dictatorship, which was propped up by a 2011 Saudi invasion.
Katherine Bergen is a former journalist who wrote pro-Bahrain propaganda for publications ranging from The Daily Mail to Standpoint Magazine. (standpointmag.co.uk/dispatches-jul…, dailymail.co.uk/travel/article…)
Bergen has emailed journalists from a Bahrain Embassy email address. She is still either directly or indirectly working for Bahrain's repressive regime. (One senior journalist says they think directly).

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

Wow! Get this! First, @staceyabrams has a detailed, doable, practical plan for economic development of Georgia

Next, Kemp has mocked Abrams for having student loans & debts like you and me.

Kemp? Stiffed a friend for a whopping $500,000!

Wow! Geez!

And education!

From early childhood learning to truly universal pre-k, fully-funded K-12 public schools, apprenticeship programs, tuition-free technical college, and debt-free four year college @staceyabrams has a plan to educate Georgians.

A true American story. This is real life.

Wouldn't it be better if the people making decisions had walked the walk.

The life experiences & debt of Stacey Abrams make her even more qualified for Governor of Georgia

She's been there & working on it

So I’m now in downtown Portland covering the Patriot Prayer rally and counterprotest. There’s a cop slowly driving a cruiser around the grass, stopping at times. A barricade system has been setup north of the Salmon Springs Fountain, just waiting for the crowd. #DefendPDX
Wouldn’t hurt to have a boat in the water in case someone goes over the waterfront’s railing and into the Willamette river 🤷‍♂️
#DefendPDX #AllOutPDX #Portland
Meanwhile: Police around the corner outside of central precinct, some are putting on riot gear for the upcoming Patriot Prayer event/counterprotest. There’s the police vehicles w the bumpers that the police will ride around on, too.

Trump has access to one of the world's most sophisticated intelligence services. He knows last summer's terrorist attacks didn't result from decisions made at City Hall. Each time he blames @SadiqKhan, he insults every victim & every Londoner #trumpvisituk
I will call it like it is. The real reason Trump blames my friend @SadiqKhan for the terror attacks last year is simple. He hates that London chose a Muslim mayor. The President is racist. He does not deserve to meet our Queen today #StopTrump
Extraordinary press conference.

History will judge Theresa May as an enabler, an appeaser and a sycophant. #TrumpVisitUK #TrumpProtests

Wow, they saved the stupidest part of the hearing for last. "I'm a dentist, Okay. So I read body language very, very well." talkingpointsmemo.com
2/ Strzok has a genuinely hard time not laughing at the rep.
3/ watch the vague smirk that comes over Strzok's face right about at 10 seconds into the clip, when he realizes just how big an idiot the guy is.
