Trump is a megalomaniac, narcissistic fool. That's it. No other reason.

I thought it would be helpful to do a proper thread addressing this. The scenes in Clapham aren’t just about crime or policing. They point to something deeper: what I've come to call "urban nihilism". 🧵

We imagine hunter gatherers living in harmony with nature. But just 5 million of them drove more than half the world's large mammals to extinction.

Bruce Springsteen closed his concert in Minneapolis by paying tribute to Renée Good and encouraging fans to heed John Lewis's famous call to "get into good trouble." "These are the hard times, but we'll make it through. We're the Americans. But I think — I know — for me, the hardest part about all of this is feeling the distance between your neighbors, your fellow citizens, and that distance… well, it can darken your soul. Now we have a leader who says he wishes nothing but ill upon the people he disagrees with, and who disagree with him. I don't feel that way. America, from the beginning, was born out of disagreement. It was built on disagreement. We can argue about what course we thought the country should take while recognizing our common humanity, our dignity and, yes, our unity... "I go back to thinking about Renée Good's last words before she died, to the man who she was protesting against, the man who would take her life. She said, 'That's fine, dude, I’m not mad at you. I'm not mad.' God bless her. "So tonight, when you go home, hold your loved ones close. And tomorrow, do as Renée did, find a way to take aggressive, peaceful action to defend our country’s ideals. And as the great civil rights leader John Lewis said, 'Go out and get into some good trouble. Say something. Do something. Help! Sing something!' If you're feeling helpless, hopeless, betrayed, frustrated, angry … I know I've been. That's why The E Street Band is here tonight. This is a tour that was not planned. We’re here tonight because we need to feel your hope, and your strength. And we want to bring some hope and some strength for you. I hope we did that. All I can say is God bless Alex Pretti, God bless Renée Good, God bless you, and God bless America." 📸: Kevin Mazur / Getty Images

Awesome performance of Purple Rain by @springsteen and #Estreetband last night in Minneapolis at @TargetCenterMN . Absolutely stellar guitar work by Nils and Tom Morello. Stunning. Video by SeanEsq on YouTube #springsteen

This looks very familiar to anyone who’s ever driven the A40 into London, or any of countless other routes on busy A roads. And yet British people love to comment here about terrible American aesthetics 🤣

@httpsfriedrich @PHaderach @bankertobuilder You still live in Europe. Sorry if that bothers you.

@PHaderach @bankertobuilder I‘m British - my Humor is incredibly dark, depressing and pitiful.

This old home needed a refresh We got rid of the gross overgrowth, updated the colors to something modern, and gave the place a timeless feel So proud of my team

April Fools!

Trump's second term really is the American Brexit. A catastrophic failure to understand the world fuelled by vanity, lies and nationalist delusion

Minnesota wins again. Quality of life and affordability metrics top the chart-- all nine measured beat the national average.

I've never heard the State Department talk about an American hostage this way. They make it sound like it was her fault that she was kidnapped.

We called it. Today, Trump confirmed his “presidential library” - the one @MDCollege handed over for $10 - will be a luxury hotel. The most valuable land our students ever owned. Gone. For $10. Soon to be a high-rise for a corrupt president. Our local state lawmakers who said nothing, did nothing, should be ashamed.

LARA TRUMP: “This anti-war retired General has no idea what it means to serve in the military.” This has to be the dumbest comment on the internet so far in 2026.

There is no contest. London is the best big city on the planet.

@CptHastings1916 Yeah that was my answer too. Reformation might not have happened the way it did. Church of England might not exist. A few wives would still have their heads.

Arthur, Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall (1486-1502).

More people need to be talking about this. Remember the classified documents case Trump made disappear the second he took office? The one he was facing 40 felony counts for? The one where a judge he appointed buried the Special Counsel’s report? Well, Washington Republicans handed Congress documents last week to clear his name, and it backfired. BADLY. Because those documents contained evidence that Trump was showing passengers on his private plane some of the most CLASSIFIED secrets in existence — material so sensitive that only SIX people in the entire U.S. government had clearance to see it. This isn’t over. axios.com/2026/03/25/tru…

He can’t. Hopefully Congress will let him know he can’t but this Congress likes to roll over for him so….

@NewsyOhio18235 I agreed that having read Huck Finn was pretty much a requirement for reading James. Some people hadn’t, as they were British and it’s not canon here. Those of us who had enjoyed it more.

@kathyf Where did you come down?

If book is a "retelling of a classic tale" from a different character's perspective, should you read the original first?

Nothing to see here, just the president of the United States, underwater and with majorities in jeopardy, trying to steal the November elections for the GOP. It's not even subtle. It is incumbent on every GOP elected official to disavow this in the strongest possible terms.

The church on the cover of JD Vance’s forthcoming book about his conversion to Catholicism isn’t Catholic. It’s Methodist. thebulwark.com/p/track-aipac-…
