The DOJ completed a study on political violence that found right wing violence had increased to become the most violent group, with over 500 deaths since 1990. The report vanished from the DOJ website without explanation. #FuckTrump

www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/ni... It is a 13 page journal article.

The @nytimes.com decided last year what the narrative was going to be, and they will never forgive you for not falling in line.

"excluded from the world of informal exchanges" got me. That's the bit we still do really really badly. African scientists unable to get visas to attend conferences, mothers struggling with childcare, class exclusion. If we turn it into a "theft" narrative it's easy to say "oh well I don't do that".

Mamdani is already cleaning up the NYPD!

Bethany Mandel lives in Maryland because it's a great state to live in (for now). Her problem with it however is that people she doesn't like also have the freedom she is given. These unrepentant ghouls try to infect everything and everyone around them until you are just as miserable.

There is so much wrong her (the uncanny face, for one) but what gets me is the vibe of 'this impossible thing, having a woman say she'll love you forever and mean it,' - a thing very many, if not most straight men achieve in ceremonies performed in front of all of their friends and family.

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

The low existing council tax rates in parts of London also mean the superrich occupants of multimillion-pound homes would get off relatively lightly while households elsewhere on more modest means would be hard hit:

Take two constituencies: Walthamstow, and Sheffield Brightside Just 30 homes in each constituency would be hit by higher council tax, because housing here was equally cheap in 1991 But now the average home in Walthamstow is worth £522,000, compared to just £160k in Sheffield Brightside

By not revaluing properties, the government would avoid hitting low-income pensioners who bought homes in areas that subsequently gentrified, or tenants across large swathes of London. But the trade-off is that it would create massive distortions in the council tax system

NEW: Reported plans to double tax rates on the top two council tax bands would cause huge distortions and unequal treatment between owners of expensive homes across England One area where homes cost £500k would barely be touched By me, for Politics Home www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Just saying. Tacky.

Whenever Richard Tice posts about poppies, just remember that he and Oakeshott told you not to buy them last year.

This latest scandal won't be covered by the UK mainstream media, but it's one more clear example of the corruption that surrounds this manipulative fraud.

THINGS ARE PRETTY GOOD HERE 🇨🇦 PeaceLoveCanada.ca

Seeing swastika-tattooed lads wearing poppies while throwing Nazi salutes during the pro-Brexit demo in Manchester was a real eye-opener.

This all used to mean something profound to people and I saw it first hand with my wonderful late father who fought in the war and lost friends. He would be utterly appalled at the appropriation of it all. So it's personal too.

When I first brought this up about 7 years ago in the wake of Brexit - an elderly gentleman rang into the local radio station I was appearing on and said that "while he respected my opinion" I should be shot. That was it for me. After a lifetime of poppy wearing, I stopped.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

How ever since Labour came to power, the British media has started to notice a whole series of problems they spent the previous 14 years completely ignoring www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-great-...

oh snap

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

The Labour government should be following in great detail what is happening at Kent County council. Use it relentlessly at the local and general election. It’s is an absolute shambles. I cannot do it justice.

I think this thread accidentally captures one of the most important things about politics that everybody routinely ignores.

For as many years as anyone been counting two or more inmates been mistakenly released from British prisons most weeks. Record does not make it acceptable. System needs to be fixed. It does leave me asking why BBC now gripped by end-of-civilisation hysteria heard on Radio 4 Today programme.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

It’s genuinely incredible to see politician, media figures and activists utterly humiliating themselves in front of a public who well understand what football hooligans are, how football matches are policed and how the press has always talked about football fans.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

If British ethnic minorities are indisputably the products of an imperial history, does that make us essentially its victims? "Perceptions differ"

“Job cuts hit highest October level in 20 years”

BBC really burying the lede there

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

House Members introducing an amendment to protect a Senate Procedure only ever used to block House policies is, and I have truly no better word for this, utterly cucked behavior.

Ah here it is. Whenever you see a council rolling out the red carpet to car-dependency and making it really hard to walk or cycle, you can always be sure they've declared a climate emergency and patted themselves on the back for a job well done www.carmarthenshire.gov.wales/council-serv...

If Musk meets all the benchmarks of his new $1 trillion pay package from Tesla he will be paid $274 MILLION EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS This is his part-time job

I hope that every one of these men dies not only penniless, but in that particular piercing anguish born of hunger and want and screaming desperation.

Dust off the calipers, guys, we're doing literal Nazi craniometry

Imagine what it felt like for students and teachers to have heavily armed, masked people come into their classrooms in today’s America of school massacres.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

The government have been rolling the pitch for tax rises for a month, your intervention here is not going to change their plans, and all this is going to do is make things more difficult for the party that you are deputy leader of. It’s an actively, aggressively stupid intervention on every level.

I think people ignore how many Mamdani style candidates that have ran across the country and were very popular, but the establishment Democrats organized themselves to crush them. I could be wrong, but I think most progressive initiatives and politicians get blocked by Democrats nationwide.

And if that blew your mind, read up on the Family Assistance Plan, the proposal from Milton Friedman (!) that Nixon embraced -- would've been essentially a negative income tax for the poor in which they'd get cash payments.

This is him arguing for killing the filibuster. Says exactly the same things that Johnson did but his take is we gotta do it first. I am not confident that Dems would get rid of it so I really, really hope he does.
