#GenZ will be gone from #TikTok soon. Obviously, TikTok is very powerful and influential but they will find new avenues and platforms soon. Have you ever tried telling a teenager what to do? If parental forces a.k.a. 'the nanny state' are running the show, it stops being cool.

I don't understand why anyone would switch from Labour to Reform

Reform's ideology is 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐄 of Labour's

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

September 25th is National One-Hit Wonder Day. Some of my favourite tracks are by one-hit wonder acts. I'm so old, I remember 'Sugar Sugar' by The Archies and 'Woodstock' by Matthews' Southern Comfort. One of my favourites is 'Uptown Top Ranking' by Althea & Donna (pictured). A UK No. 1 in 1978.
