The "silent majority"

Sam Freedman @samfr.bsky.social · 7d

A majority of voters, and a plurality of white voters, think that Reform is a racist party with racist policies.

The Reform Party’s newest MP, Sarah Pochin, has admitted her comments were “phrased poorly”. Let’s call them what they were: racist.

This half-baked apology is not enough. The Reform Party must suspend Pochin immediately to show that racism has no place in politics.

It’s been three weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election, but Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in — all because she would be the final signature needed on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

He’s denying AZ-07 a voice in Congress. Swear her in now.

One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox.
By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands.
Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid.
“My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity
