Rand Paul was the only Republican senator not invited to Trump’s luncheon at his new Rose Garden Club today. He said he had lunch with Thomas Massie instead. bsky.app/profile/blue...
Rand Paul: There is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made... These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times... We don't just summarily execute people.
And their Labour is bloody hopeless. Continuing with austerity, nothing has improved.
But Reform is NOT the answer.

I wrote about Ida B. Wells’ experience with the white supremacist press during her antilynching campaign—an experience which suggests that social media is not the first media to inculcate fascism in the US. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/ida-b-well...

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Reminder: The United States cannot afford universal healthcare
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

we doomed america because we wouldn't say "are you just stupid, bro?" and make it too embarrassing to support him, because then everyone knows you're stupid, too
Trump: "Buttigieg spent billions fixing the air traffic control. They used copper wire going into glass wire. Any union electrician here or any non-union electrician would say you can't hook copper into glass. It doesn't work. They spent billions, turned on the system & it was stone cold blank"

One more symptom of the assault on higher ed is that the more prestigious research institution in the dominant producer of science in the world is slashing investments in the people who generate new knowledge.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Let me be less vague. For a certain type of person:

1) It's safer to argue with Black people than to actually confront white supremacy.

2) It's incredibly threatening to consider that the world might be how Black people say it is rather than what you've always been taught.

Even if you don't subscribe to the idea that Black people probably know more than you do about what's happening, why is this how you choose to spend your time? What happens inside your body when you "win" these arguments? Think about it.
White people trying to win arguments with Black people on race already lost the plot. Defer to the authorities!

could do with a lot less open advocacy for ethnic cleansing in global politics tbh
A Conservative MP tipped as a future party leader has been condemned for saying large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”.
