Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Got yelled at by my university for posting on LinkedIn that I'm open to jobs abroad because things are looking bleak in the US. Somehow this was interpreted as a bad look for the university? I'm just saying what everyone recognizes as reality.

I asked my friend
how the art opening
she attended went,
and she said it was canceled
as the artist and curator
both had Covid, 
“Can you believe 
Covid is still canceling things
in 2025?” she asked,
and though I know
she meant it rhetorically
I responded: “yes, I can.”

Reform UK set to raise Kent council tax — despite promising savings Nigel Farage had pledged cost-cutting, but officials now admit services are already ‘down to bare bones’ and a rise by the maximum rate of 5% may be needed

Reform UK promised to slash “wasteful spending” - now they’re raising taxes.

Looks like Reform UK are learning council budgets aren't as wasteful as they thought...

The image of kids' classic bedtime story "Goodnight Moon", but with a child handcuffed, its head lowered, and the window broken with graffiti underneath that says "ICE was here". Instead of "Goodnight Moon" the title now reads "Goodnight America".

Someone in the DOJ with access to the Epstein files has a conscience and enough love for this country to leak them. Where is this generation’s Deep Throat?

Reform lied to get elected to Kent County Council.

They promised tax cuts in their election material.

The only tax councils have any real say over is council tax.

Refore are now saying they will increase council tax in Kent.

Failure to deliver on what they promised after just 5 months.

Back then, I still thought Greta Thunberg was great . . .

Nigel Farage is owned by Russia. Vote Leave was illegally financed by Russia. Brexit was and is a Russian active measure to harm Britain and its home in Europe.

History will not remember him as a king, or a savior. History will remember him as a small, ugly, sick man who happened to seize great power, who wielded it recklessly, & who left behind a trail of destruction, corruption & cowardice unmatched in American history.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Same.

The image is an X post by RB (@rbisrb ) from 1 day ago, with the caption "Absolutely..." The post includes a meme featuring a photo of several men in suits, with text overlay stating: "Instead of 'billionaires' can we go back to calling them 'robber barons'?" The individuals in the photo appear to be prominent figures, though they are not specifically identified.

I’m down for this.

Dear Gods of all that is stupid...

IT'S REAL.

If any Government can just snatch basic human rights away from any section of society when it pleases then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

Across borders, right-wing populists win by a third (or less) of the vote. The vote, not the electorate.

This is independent of the voting system (FTPT or PR).

My conclusion? Democracy dies when people stop caring, participating, voting.

My problem is not with Jewish people. It’s not even really with the state of Israel. My problem is with this Israeli government, and the people that absolve it of any consequences for its actions. I have a similar position regarding Palestinians and Hamas.
