In my pre-Bellingcat days, I worked for an organisation that housed asylum seekers, and I'd challenge anyone who think they get an easy time to spend a few months living in the same conditions and see how they feel about it then.

One of our most requested guests ever:
Gary Stevenson joins @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social

They dive into:
- Parliament vs the trading floor

think this is sort of interesting as actually.....no you probably didn't need to do "more research" into it? you just had to trust the state and local authorities to know better than you when it came to vaccinating your child? not good that the internet has killed faith in institutions!

Alastair Campbell's diary: Will Farage be prime minister? Really? The media's obsession with Reform’s leader makes a disaster of Truss and Boris Johnson proportions ever more likely

@thenewworldmag.bsky.social 's @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social is right: "economically, #Farage is Liz Truss Mark 2; politically and presentationally, he is Boris Johnson Mark 2. The two worst prime ministers in history." www.thenewworld.co.uk/alastair-cam...

YouTube video by CNN 'Weakness masquerading as strength': Hear Newsom's blistering speech on Trump as LA protests persist

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now.

Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump.

If you think this looks like a mess: it isn‘t. It‘s a treasure trove of information. There is no history writing without archives, and there are no archives without people who appreciate and protect them.
History, much like democracy, begins locally. Cherish it.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.
