Lie down with Trump get brainworms
In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Elite capitulation continues.

Read all about it here:

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

I’ve not seen NYT internal analytics, but I’ll bet $50 they look something like this:

- there is a core user base that uses the app, gets push notifications, posts on social 10+ times a day
- they are X% more likely to “rapid react” to an egregious headline and drive traffic in the first 2 hours…

It was always a transnational fascist movement
At a Madrid congress packed with far-right Catholics, Heritage president Kevin Roberts pitched Project 2025 as a blueprint for a new Christian order. His Opus Dei-tinged praise for “young men” leading a revival shows the U.S. culture war isn’t staying in America — it’s spreading.

thanks for all that you do, Euan ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

for my part, I'll measure myself against those who have less privilege, less security and more to lose, but who stand up anyway
Again, it's artists & musicians w the courage & conscience to stand up & speak truth to institutions

Get rid of legal representation… so lawyers no longer allowed in court?

That will be next!

Exceptionally nasty, in the quote below. Do you notice how, if the press wants damning evidence of Farage’s hateful views and behaviour, all they have to do is ask whether anyone has encountered it?
