Hungary’s Viktor Orban: “The Ukrainians have lost the war. Russia has won this war.

“The only question is when and under what circumstances will the West, who are behind the Ukrainians, admit that this has happened and what will result from all this.”

We’re gonna charge the homeless a daily homeless fee

Short of flooding these places with money and education and prospects in the long term, how do you even start to combat this with people who would A. believe this shit, and B. Feel compelled to head out online or in person to hurl abuse as a result...is it possible to unthick the thick?

Because the actual government spend all of their time talking about illegals and sending back the forrins to win racist votes. Actual racists then take that as a sign that their opinions are mainstream and legit and act accordingly.

Angry locals from Welsh town under investigation for online comments after mistaking youth group for asylum seekers Gwent Police has launched a probe into "inappropriate and offensive" comments made online

Subtext of this story is that the villagers made a mistake because the Scouts were Scots.

Similar to the narrative of Rupert Lowe and his misidentified charity rowers.

Maybe we need to be asking why they these vile opinions have been normalised in the first place.

Toward? You're there.

look, I'm going to be real here, I know you guys are uncomfortable with *actually* nationalising the water companies because private property is sacrosanct, it's the most valuable thing in this civilisation, the inalienable right to property

but just announce it. like the tories did with the rails

Irony: Lots of Nat Guard MPs are cops in civilian life so calling them up robs police departments of staff and the activated guardsmen do policing with worse equipment and antiquated procedures

I'm more concerned about 19F, 31M

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

The people who conjure up things for you to be scared about in order to win your vote rarely take the quick win of telling you the threat has receded. They need to keep the fear flowing. Eventually the only way to convince you is to start harming people.

How right-wing misinformation killed Oregon's wildfire risk map Lawmakers' attempt to help people most at risk drew accusations that they were trying to "depopulate rural areas."

Russia hacked the US Federal Court filing system, the NYT reports.

Putin is attacking on multiple fronts.

Reform also need to explain why they feel able to accuse thousands of migrants for crimes they haven't committed. When was the last time those men "protesting" stepped foot into a church? Do they know what (Christian) values they are actually fighting to uphold??

Conveniently ignoring the fact that nearly half of those convicted of participation in last summer's riots had been reported to the police for domestic abuse offences! Why would we want them patrolling the streets 'protecting' women?

The in yer face abject hypocrisy of Reform

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

Honestly, I'm not sure even Vance deserves that.

@theguardian.com here's an idea: give people who subscribe to the actual newspaper a code so they can avoid your begging popups online.

Pretty sure that's not how museums work.

Saying it again:

"We will dedicate the rest of our lives to making sure Big Balls goes to prison for all his crimes, for the people he killed as he broke US law."

There is sufficient public information now to prosecute and imprison the DOGE kids. It is vital we do so

this is a great example of what happens when unserious, nihilistic people get in charge of actual institutions whose ostensible job it is to provide real services to real people. these people are LARPing their way through everything. trolling as govt bc they have no respect for the work of it.

By "ambient social disorder" Vermeule means there are black people around.

A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

Mohawk Skywalkers: The History Stephen Miller Whitewashed The Kanien'kéhá:ka Haudenosaunee ironworkers were vital to building Miller's favorite monuments to modern America

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

first man to get disowned by both his physical and digital children

With the honourable exception of @zoejardiniere.bsky.social, I don't think I've heard anyone on broadcast media laying out the objective fact that the immigration "crisis" is a wholly manufactured piece of political theatre that benefits a tiny minority of Britain's very richest people.
