once again trump’s great political asset is that voters literally do not believe anything he says

The vacuum at highest levels in talking about this dark turn in British life over the last few months HAS to end.

Thank you for the reminder of the time Jason Manford issued a notes apology because his tribute to Brucie being under the Palladium unintentionally sounded like he is in Hell.

I'm not saying Burnham hasn't grown or developed whilst being a mayor but I am saying I was a Labour Member back when he last stood for leadership and his campaign was very bad and so were his ideas. He only beat Corbyn on my ranked ballot because Corbs was promising to reopen the coalmines.

formally launching my "Burnham is a symptom not a solution" take if your Labour party finds itself turning to Andy Burnham and going ohhhhhh should we maybe go for him instead then that means your Labour party is feeling poorly and must be tended to, don't ignore the Burnham warning signs

This was the kind of nonsense confected when Eastern Europeans arrived in greater numbers… it would be funny if it wasn’t just a xenophobic grift

Recalling this tweet from 2017

Engraving two bullets with "this bullet only lies" and "this bullet only tells the truth" to really stump the FBI

a matador's goal is to avoid physical contact

Shooter who can’t think of anything clever to write on their bullets, eventually just writes “Have a great summer!”

Quite. So many Labour people on this website visibly have no idea of just how bad things have got for ethnic minorities since they came on, and how their visible indifference lands.

Burnham’s positioning in the NS and Telegraph is essentially “I will continue to deny the constraints like Keir Starmer, while being even more explicitly hostile to London and the South, where a majority of parliamentary seats are”. Hard to see how that works well for Labour.

This is a positive development as Sam says because Labour have finally broken with the demeaning, wasteful and divisive Whitehall begging bowl model. But breakdown the money and its £1million per community per year - that’s not going to touch the sides of the problem is it?

Another piece of (excellent) research showing that support for the far-right is never going to be driven purely by either 'culture' or 'economics'. Inevitably, both are involved - and they're often inseparable.

ladies if he’s a matador that is a huge red flag

in a year's time we'll see Luigi being congratulated by his lawyer for having successfully sued the DoJ for one zillion dollars.

Rounding up my neighbors to lock them away in concentration camps is Nazi behavior. Sending your son to a reeducation facility to rid him of his homosexuality is Nazi behavior. If you don't want to be called a Nazi, don't do Nazi things!

you literally called Trump the second coming of Hitler

Just an absolutely incredible quote. A truly top-tier quote. Remarkable stuff. Peak performance. All that jazz. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Just a reminder that armed, masked men snatching people up in unmarked vans on the orders of the president, the very top of the Republican Party, is political violence.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Wild how all the people doing crime these days just coincidentally leave bullets with the narrative they want very neatly written on top

Kash Patel is the head of the FBI because he wrote pro-Trump fanfic for children. Keep this in mind when he is giving out briefings.

Old enough here that Republicans promoting state-owned enterprises and the guiding hand of government still jars like a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac

File state child abuse charges against the perpetrators

1) It replaces the deleted post because you’re trying to hide your ableism… 2) …but you couldn’t be bothered to hide it in the text of the article, which still says “the autism problem” 3) Either way, you’re framing bullshit as medically plausible 4) Stop promoting eugenics, you fucking ghouls

Among the many, many risks of Trump’s anti-Tylenol tirade? According to experts who spoke to @wired.com, an increase in autism rates:

never forget what woke took from us

I've been thinking about this for a while. Biden had a strategy that he could keep Trump from coming back if he delivered material benefits to the groups that put Trump in power. The CHIPS Act and BBB funneled money to Red States with no electoral effect. Biden's presidency failed as a result. 1/x

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

People will try to downplay this because it isn't the big win they might specifically want, but: public pushback just forced one of the largest & wealthiest media companies on the planet to walk back its capitulation to the regime. And that is power.

Only a good guy with autism can defeat a bad guy with autism

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

I mean considering how many in the US are gleefully embracing forced pregnancy as the ideal it shouldn't be surprising that they now don't want pregnant women to even take basic pain relief and yet somehow it is.

Jimmy should get his dick and balls out minute one

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

the supreme court may be handing dictatorial powers to a senile pedophile, but let's take stock of the important thing here: Justice Kavanaugh no longer has to worry about his gambling debts

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

It's funny that Miller is exactly enough of a DORK to think a speech like this makes him sound cool but not enough of a NERD to know that in this genre of civilization mythopoetic metaphor he's supposed to use "lion" and not "dragon."

I’ll be curious to see what people come up with for this. Remember, no promoting violence

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country

Power of cancelling subs

Imagine what it must be like to be this gullible

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

1) Some of my speech got negative social reactions, which felt bad 2) That’s equivalent to state repression 3) Big name elite didn’t validate my feelings (ok, they did, but not enough) 4) This entitles—nay, requires—us to overthrow democracy and do state repression for real That really is the logic

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

the tiktok news does mean the fact that we should pay bluesky to have vine capabilities and function as a tiktok alternative a much more pressing need.

The claim that reneging on ILR is about “cheap foreign labour” is interesting for two reasons. First, it would also affect (say) people like me with spouses on marriage visas. (Which also means it would be a way to leech even more revenue in visa fees and surcharges.) on.ft.com/4gTvkwF

“This policy is a fucking disgrace and will do harm to the people it affects, our economy, our services, and it’s morally reprehensible” is the correct response not “haha your numbers are wrong and it may not even be legal”
