How is Reform’s charmless candidate still a contender in Gorton and Denton? Ask Labour | George Monbiot This byelection should have been a stroll for Keir Starmer’s party. Instead, all hope of defeating Matt Goodwin now seems to lie with the Greens, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

I won't vote strategically every again. Labour under Starmer has betrayed us. Vote with your heart and conscience.

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

Biological sex is not a static reality. Scholars have spent decades pointing out how assuming a sex binary is not only wrong but also unethical as it erases the lives of those who are embodied differently. Courts should not give effect to β€œcommon sense” when such sense is unethical and unscientific.

For non-German speakers:

β€œDear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

4 frame comic. A street journalist asks an elderly woman : ma'am! What do you think of the radical left fear mongering that we could someday see fascism in the US? She replies: dear boy, the US has been a blueprint for fascism all along. Hitler specifically cited Jim Crow, US anti-miscegenation and white only immigration laws as inspiration for his eugenics policies. Germany sent people to study what was being done in the US to export it over there. In the 30s, tens of thousands of Americans attended massive rallies by fascist groups such as the friends of new Germany or the German American bund. Then in the 40s, two dozen Congress people were charged with sedition for planning a fascist overthrow of the government. And since WWII, the amount of fascist groups and militias has grown exponentially. Not only can fascism come to the US,it has always been an inherent part of American society.
