The dude has literally told us twice that he doesn’t give a damn, and the Times still writes it as “critics say.” Some say the NY Times is broken.

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

One wonders why that guy who climbed the van clearly attempting to sabotage it wasn't immediately arrested. One wonders, for about two seconds, until one remembers that this would require the police to do their *stated* job rather than their *actual* one.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

It's pretty simple. What he says and what he wants to do are aligned. What he wants to do and what is possible are aligned. And the effort required to do it is more than matched by his administration's collective will, aligned with the will of their constituents. In short; true democratic politics

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Getting to know you on CaturDogDay…

Washington Post in 1979: U.S. State Dept. found Israeli "abuse during interrogation of arrested Palestinians," including "refrigeration, use of electricity, hanging by the hands or feet, extreme forms of sexual sadism, interrogation accompanied by starvation, enforced sleeplessness"

my eternal Last Jedi problem “no, I don’t like that movie. wait, shit! not like that, those dipshits are wrong, I have other reasons”

Release all the Epstein files already, this is getting crazy!

Objectively hilarious

It’s 2026, in Oklahoma has finally made child marriage illegal. Congratulations? Also WTF.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

New research shows that more people abandoned Labour because they were too tough on immigration - and because of their support for Israel - than because they were too soft on immigration.

People leaving Labour because of; Transphobia............7% (Streeting) Immigration ............18% (Mahmoud) Ableism...................16% (Streeting) Gaza....................... 19% (Starmer) By contrast; People leaving Labour because it is Too Left/"woke"........ 2% (All of them)

'Go To SAG, Get A Bunch Of Guys Together': Kevin Nash Urges WWE Stars To Unionize wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/sag...

And here comes @realjaredhuffman.bsky.social from the top rope

I mean it's hardly surprising that there are a lot of people who are very eager to let people know that everyone hates Wes Streeting.

This accurately places the UK alongside Eastern Europe as a corrupt, cruel, democratically backsliding system dominated by vicious authoritarian reactionaries who are entirely reliant upon poisonously unpleasant, very right wing media outlets.

again, i don’t think any of this is necessary. just say that the court was out of bounds, that it may be correct on the definition of “election” but that this technical matter has no bearing on the results of the referendum, which occurred in a free and fair contest.

And, underrated point: More suits that look like the human inside is incidental to the whole situation.

I'm all in favour of a single health record system shared between providers, similarly in favour of a residents' registry / personal ID number system. As a Scandinavian, I know it it can be done safely and securely while protecting privacy, and is helpful. THAT'S NOT WHAT'S ON OFFER WITH PALANTIR!

Wes Streeting wants new laws to force your GP to share your medical records. The bill was not in Labour's Manifesto and Palantir has explicitly said, under a new Government, it would be happy to use medical data for other purposes. Be afraid.

I hope she is sitting in her mold castle having just the worst day because of this

Bloody hell. "We're sinking, quick, how can we make this inexplicably worse?!"

The passive voice is a blight on journalism, honestly. Refusing to acknowledge the nature, perpetrator, and context of the act isn't 'reporting', it's just running interference for horrible people and violent systems.

bitch you manifest a million people out of your ass who don't need to work 60 hours a week to avoid living on the streets or shut up

🧵My response: “This statement is utterly enraging. The government is doing the exact opposite of what it claims. Taking away gender affirming healthcare for trans youth is taking away their dignity and is completely disrespectful of their autonomy.

The Onion ass headline

Please sir, my first past the post electoral system, it is very sick.

For two years the 'Blue Labour' tendency has told the party's core liberal voters (in the famous words of Shabana Mahmood) to "f*** right off". Now they've acted accordingly www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-ma...

I'm honestly not sure which is worse: just how deluded these people are, or the fact that the way party-political 'form' in the UK basically requires these delusional numpties to spew obvious bullshit that THEY AND EVERYONE ELSE KNOW is obvious bullshit, because being truthful would create 'scandal'

The Greens crushed Labour in Hackney. The politics of hope defeated the politics of fear 💚 Congratulations @zoegarbett.bsky.social!

I feel like small matters such as “selling off most of the things that help governments to make themselves useful, out of pure hardcore ideological conviction” and “a pathological loathing for investment in services and infrastructure” may also have contributed

The golden age of corruption.

At this point, I think he is just trolling us.

We have a toxic combination of low wages and high bills. We need to make life affordable for everyone. Make hope normal again & Vote Green. 💚 (& remember to take photo ID to the polling station!)

This is insane. This is the government’s “independent” advisor on antisemitism. He sees four antisemitic cartoons targeting Zack Polanski. His response? To demand an end to the antisemitic targeting of Polanski? No. It’s to attack the Green Party.

Start to end Rip Off Britain. Vote Green tomorrow! www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

"Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could." If Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby had a conscience they would apologize and withdraw from public life. But, of course, they don't.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

wait
