My worry is that in so much as the GOP has even talked back to Trump, the methodology is very... temporary, or at least "in the moment."

I think the cultural moment that was Trumpism is clearly over, but I'm less secure in the idea that, even as a matter of pure survival, the Republican party as defined by its electeds, is turning on him. If a time traveler told us "they shelved the brownshirt fund and pretended to hate the war TILL they got reelected" would you be shocked? Me neither

On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, remember: The way we wonder why Germans didn’t stop Hitler is exactly how the rest of the world views Americans and Trump today.

In 1865, the guns of the Civil War fell silent. Many Northerners believed the nation had been remade. Good over evil. Right over wrong. But they underestimated the determination of those who had lost. The Civil War ended 161 years ago. Yet Americans are still arguing over the same questions: who counts as a citizen, who can vote, and whose America this is.

The flagship journal of the American Diabetes Association (#ADA) just published an editorial criticizing the #Trump admin for attempting to "Dismantle and Destroy Biomedical Research in the United States."

At an ADA conference yesterday, some members tried to pass out copies of the editorial just before #NIH Director #JayBhattacharya was scheduled to speak. They were blocked by security and escorted out of the building by police. The ADA had called in the police. Bhattacharya cancelled his talk.

PS: What's going on at the ADA? The editorial had a disclaimer saying that it only represented the views of the authors, not the association. But the association had the courage to publish it. Then the association blocked its distribution, at its own conference, even calling in the police. Does it support free speech, even in support of science? Or not? And why can police stop peaceful scientists from handing out an editorial, even at an event sponsored by the group publishing the editorial?

Migration to the UK is down 48% from last year and 82% from 2021.

Small boat arrivals and the asylum backlog are also down, while 70,000 people were returned or deported.

Yet, anti-immigration rhetoric has only intensified.

Liberals cannot win the immigration battle. By courting the xenophobic votes they harm their own nation, alienate their own voters, and play a pointless game to win the worst slice of the population - the despicable “I’m not racist but…” uncle who would anyway always be unhappy with anyone who doesn’t look and think like him/her, and for sure would never vote for a progressive party anyway.

Labour delivered what the public wanted: a huge fall in net migration to 171,000 in 2025 from 331,000 in 2024 – the lowest in over a decade. Yet online reactions show that parts of the public and the political class are so radicalised that no reduction will ever suffice.

Pipers like Farage, Salvini, Wilders or Trump will always run political agendas rooted in fear and prejudice, even if there was only a single migrant left in the country.

And, even if there was no migrant left, they’d just leverage new fracture lines (North vs South, urban vs rural, cis vs LGBTQ…).

Because, without creating a permanent sense of emergency that constantly turns natural differences in a society into collective irrational fears, their whole political careers would be irrelevant.

Immigration numbers are down: so why is the rage still rising?

If the latest immigration and asylum figures tell us anything, it’s that the far-right will never be appeased
