I’ve never once shown my ID boarding a train or buying a train ticket.
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

I like this nuance of Odo in Deep Space Nine. Starfleet constantly complains about security failures and then he constantly advocates for extreme measures to keep the station safe.

Odo: LET ME CAVITY SEARCH EVERY VISITOR TO THE STATION AND YOU WOULDNT HAVE THIS PROBLEM

Bangor University is a fantastic institution for research across the sciences, especially in Marine Biology and Ocean Science, areas that Farage, with his claimed (but not real) support of the fishing industry, supports.

So sad that elitist idiots like Oakshite can't be bothered to look at the history of Bangor University.
Established 1884, mostly funded from public subscriptions. Miners & workers giving 1d each week, driven by a desire to provide higher education for the poor.

This is what we're up against. Bangor University, that fine and noble institution where I've spoken twice, nearly 150 years young and still going strong. The sheer hatred they reserve for us shows what could happen after 2029, but also that they're frightened of knowledge and learning.

Pertinent info about riot-control agents for folks whose bodies include a uterus/ovaries! #PublicPreparedness
There is one issue: people who menstruate are likely to have a weird period when exposed to CS. It was never tested for reproductive harm, and it seems to cause some. It does appear dose dependent, and it’s significant. UMinn published the paper in 2023.

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.

But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.

These are not serious people.
