Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

Nursery retail manager is the thing that made this jump out at me. The guy who took care of all of our plants at the Lowes I work at was maybe the most neurodivergent man I've ever personally met, but by GOD he kept plant loss to a minimum. He was ON that shit.

They have the triple whammy of economic precarity, phone bills (which are how most people buy phones now) shooting up ~50 bucks in the last year, and there's not been one noteworthy addition/feature to phones in almost a decade lol.
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

If anything it's very funny that Carville is trying to pretend that's a 'new' tactic for the party when he pretty much made it a party staple with Sista Soulja
Seeing people praise Carville's piece arguing that Dems need to sacrifice minorities is just melting my brain.

thank you for watching me talk about PBS Kids so I can donate money to PBS Kids and we can support the team. It's like a circular loop that leads to 0.03% of a Donkey Hodie episode being produced.

One of my favorite takes on this website by the Ball Knowers was that the year plus of cracking down on anti-genocide youth movements in this country, on campuses and otherwise, had no effects whatsoever on turnouts come November nor in general for mobilization etc. Goldfish levels of myopia.
I think @brendannyhan.bsky.social is exactly right in this piece, but I’d go one step further here. Elites very explicitly told young people to sit down and shut up. Society punished them for standing up for their beliefs, and targeted and vilified the organizers. Now we need need them.

I mean, the entire point of this Mark Kelly thing is they're trying to preempt Trump giving illegal orders not limited to but absolutely meant to include Trump nuking the midterm with violence.
Like that's why they're talking about imprisoning Kelly, he threatened the plan.

Just want to remind everyone that Mike Flynn told a crowd of rabid QAnon troglodytes in no uncertain terms that the military should conduct a coup in order to reinstall Trump as an unelected dictator, and he never once was subject to the penalties that the UCMJ demands for that sort of thing

Yes, something that Israel does which is actually quite rare is consider all civilian workers, whether they be in municipal government or in private reconstruction or health sectors, to be combatants *by way of second, third, or even fourth degree association*.
Construction crews attempting to rebuild civillian infrastructure in Gaza or Southern Lebanon are also considered confirmed terrorists.
