With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

I would pay to see a close angle of Farage’s face during such an encounter. He had the most foppish, dandy facial expressions in his abortive lying session when he came to Congress to tell of the living hell that he says the UK is.

Raskin dismantled him on live television and he made this face:

When they hide behind a bible while brutalizing people, I am very comfortable saying that they are fake Christians.

When they hide behind the Bible while withdrawing medicine and food aid from millions of people around the world, I will keep calling them what they are. Fake Christians.

This lie was lifted straight out of the MAGA playbook. All Nigel did was reskin it with UK English.

It was a lie here, too. Your right wing nut jobs are using the same techniques and talking points MAGAs did.

Your response to it is perfect but I wonder if UK knows it’s a template job he’s doing?

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

❗️Russia canceled its first Russia-Arab summit because most of Arab leaders would not attend it.

The summit was supposed to take place on October 15, but a week earlier, it turned out that only acting president of Syria and Prime Minister of Iraq confirmed their participation.
