The perfect metaphor for Trump’s presidency is dead canaries. How many little dead birds do you need to see before you realise the air is toxic?
It’s very simply that race and immigration gets more mileage on social media resulting in more monetisation.
Won't be a revelation to anyone but the reason all the worst people on the right are pivoting to talking about race and culture rather than immigration is so they can keep banging the drum even as net migration figures fall (UK) and even reverse (US).
This is the next step and it always was.

This is a very good point. We’re eagerly awaiting more “resignations”.
Notice how “resigned” keeps meaning “got caught.”

What is Rachel Reeves going to do about massive benefits cheat Jim Ratcliffe who has taken 100s of millions of taxpayer pounds to prop up his businesses and avoids paying billions in tax by living in Monaco?
Also, Man Utd fans - it's time to speak up and start pushing back as a collective.

WTAF! This is what Trump and Farage and Bannon have done to us. They’ve normalised blatant racism, ignorance and hate to the point where this question can be posed by a National Broadcaster.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

India has tightened up 36-hour deadline to 3 hours. Impacts major platforms including Meta, YouTube and X. I’m concerned that this will operate as it does in Singapore where they efficiently censor opposition voices by declaring their content illegal without the bother of a trial.
India cuts takedown window to three hours for YouTube, Meta, X and others
Critics worry the rules would be a compliance challenge for tech platforms and could expand censorship.

Reform would behave exactly as Donald Trump. Don't agree with them, and they will penalise, threaten, defund, and cancel you. They are proto fascists.

This is Authoritarianism 101. Yes, I’m going to reference Singapore-where the PAP govt de-funds constituencies that vote for the opposition. They don’t get vital infrastructures built and the PM isn’t shy about saying they can’t expect to be rewarded for voting opposition. Creating a Climate of Fear
This is terrifying. This is how Reform thinks and its a clear indication of how they’ll behave

An "underage woman" is a 30-year-old trying to run for POTUS but can't because the law says she has to be 35 to qualify.
A "child" is a person under age 18, like the children that Epstein raped and abused, and GOP is now trying to cover up to protect Trump.

Yes. Demand accountability please!
Rep. Stansbury on the Epstein files: "Congress is controlled by Donald Trump's allies…He is being actively shielded by members of his own party…We need to hold these people accountable. And my message to Donald Trump is we're coming for you. We are not moving on."

Exactly this
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
