Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Sounds somewhat reasonable, yes?
That's the problem with the MAGA talking points, they only SOUND reasonable until you realize that it's the start of voting suppression.
Is that a guess?
No... it's fact, grounded in what the GOP has already done in the past.
Let me elaborate.

As someone who regularly criticises Man City & Newcastle for their owners, it’s only right that I also call out Arsenal for this bullshit. They knew full well what Partey was accused of & continued to play him & wanted to extend his contract. Football’s morals are on the floor.
Remember when Thomas Partey was a thing and Mikel Arteta was being held to account for wanting him to stay at Arsenal and we said that should continue but then forgot to do that? Anyway, he’s received further charges and god the football news cycle is depressing.

The whole league is crap this year and Arsenal are gonna set piece their way to stumble over the line with something like 83 points at the current rate. Only Leicester in the last 25 years have won it with less.

Great update on the #LFC women's team from Josh Sexton @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social @pippa35.bsky.social @emsandersbbc.bsky.social & Lauren Black.
Loads of context on what's happened with the squad this season that I wasn't aware of. I'm much more positive about the rest of the season than before.

To me it doesn’t make any sense because if you’re an old school conservative, you believe you don’t give a man a fish — you teach a man to fish. But how are you gonna teach a man to fish when you’re defunding the schools?

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.
