  1. Again, cannot overemphasize how bad this is. ...And it's getting totally eclipsed by US election insanity.

  2. For years I shamefully failed to realise that men who shout Paki at me from passing cars are actually experiencing a lot of economic anxiety

  3. Human rights around world now under severe threat from US - can they be protected by the weakening International Criminal Court? Find out…

  4. And so the world begins to end. The Fascist-Elect is going to carry through his threat to have US Muslims register.

  5. People ask why women don't report sexual assault. You got your answer: a man can have double digit accusers & still be elected President.

  6. Clinton's concession speech is a tragic window into the measured, adult, inclusive leadership that we just threw away.

  7. An impressive and dignified exit from a grubby election campaign.

  8. I’ve never posted anything from a football blog before, but then it’s a strange day. Very much worth a read re US

  9. Wonder who in the GOP will be first to slither to Donald's office: 'Obvs didn't mean what I said about sex assault being bad Mr President'..

  10. Prepare to fight intolerance, fight torture, promote women's rights, protect minorities. Everybody must now become a human rights activist.

  11. From 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free' to 'grab 'em by the pussy'. RIP US as beacon on the hill.

  12. Once again an anti-establishment rebellion has further empowered privileged white men. Etonians in UK, billionaire bigot and cronies in US.

  13. "I have families of immigrants that are terrified tonight." -- moving speech on CNN

  14. CNN nails it - this is a whitelash at least in part against a black president (as well as deep-running sexism). Not a miracle, a nightmare.

  15. Street vendor here just yelled, "hey guys, at least now it will be legal to grab pussy!" And high-fived a group of men who laughed.

  16. If you are confused by this election, a full explanation of its very deep and old white-racist dimensions are here:

  17. Trump brought out voters who usually ignore national politics but now resent lost security and privilege, and rage at 'elites'.
