Hey America. Just saying.

Superman poster from 1950s. He is talking to school kids saying

...AND REMEMBER, BOYS
AND GIRLS, YOUR SCHOOL - LIKE OUR COUNTRY-IS MADE UP OF AMERICANS OF MANY DIFFERENT RACES. RELIGIONS AND NATIONAL ORIGINS. 50...
..if YOU hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin-don't wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Political journalists didn’t set out to become clients of power – they just slipped into it. Half-truths, soft questions and silence bought with access. Read this analysis on how deference has turned to complicity ⤵️

How deference becomes client journalism in plain sight

We have come through a period of often shameful journalism, bending the knee to Downing Street. Can our journalism recover?

I love my parents but I don't think I can do another ten years of saying "No, that's not true. That far right influencer/politician is lying to you again. Here are the facts." They get so frightened by all the lies. It's exhausting.
