Anyway, our local chippie is run by Muslims, and they do a very fine fish and chips.

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

The glamorous TV host, the web of influence and a mysterious trip to Moscow – inside the downfall of Reform’s disgraced MEP Ahead of a critical Welsh byelection for Reform next week, part two of our investigation into Nathan Gill uncovers the web of Russian influence that encircled him – and asks why it took so long to cha...

Oi. Off to have a Backfischbrötchen (fried fish roll) at the Freimarkt (Bremen, Germany, like Nottingham Goose Fair). Exact same roots as fish & chips: Bremerhaven was the biggest port of exit for Russian/Eastern European Jews and they had time to spread their culture here too, thankfully 😀.

France joining in the fun!

Brandmauer: Tauber und zu Guttenberg fordern Normalisierung im Umgang mit der AfD Der frühere CDU-Generalsekretär wünscht sich "neue rote Linien" für den Umgang mit der AfD. "Entzauberung gelingt nicht durch Boykott", sagt der Ex-Verteidigungsminister.

Es mag ja nicht viele belastbare Erkenntnisse in der Sozialwissenschaft geben.

Aber dass "Destruktion durch Kopieren und/oder Kooperation" nicht funktioniert -- das ist eine.

Und doch hat noch jede europäische Mitte-Rechts-Partei gemeint, es besser zu wissen.

Funny how the mass leftist rally misfired so badly back in the day too. Wasn't just a UK thing. I remember back in the day (1986/7???) thinking how Johannes Rau sealed his fate after one in the Saarland. Kohl contrastingly brilliant when having a set to with half of 'Red' Bremen on the marketplace.

I have taught the limits to private health insurance for a few years now. I am delighted when I see the realisation in student's faces that it can't ever work without public corrections. Mind you, I did have a student complain about my use of a 'disrespectful' picture of Farage...

Bad day all round today: Autumn blues. Hoping tomorrow will be an easier day for us all.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Nigel Farage on Russia Today.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Stand strong and stay safe, Portland. 💙🐸

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

Heute Abend den #Tatort nachgeholt. Wow, einfach wow! Edin Hasanović ist mit dieser Rolle über sich hinausgewachsen. So viel Feingefühl, so viele wichtige Details, so viel Emotion! Die Folge wird schwer zu toppen sein!

Columbia cancelled my class on race and media, and Washington Post fired me for speaking about race..

But I’m teaching (again) and speaking anyway.
