Hey! You! Do you like... learning things? Do you like... laughing?? Do you like... being that annoying person in the conversation who gets to say "um ACTUALLY Einstein wasn't even that smart he couldn't even swim and he KEPT falling in the ocean and making people save him"?

i think the "immigration turns high trust societies into low trust societies" people were already on really shaky ideological ground but now they're watching neighbors helping one another and calling them paid antifa agitators

The inverse of Americans should stop interrupting conversations amongst Brits about British politics is that the British boomers who run altnps should delete the account and complain about the bins instead
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.
They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

Bash is doing a helluva job here holding Bovino to account. Incredible, necessary questions. Bovino does not answer any of her questions directly and she is not letting up. CNN has still frames and videos ready to throughout the interview. This is how you do it.
BASH: Footage shows him holding a cell phone, not a gun. Did he at any point pull out his weapon?
BOVINO: We do know that the suspect did bring a weapon, a loaded 9mm high capacity handgun, to a riot.
(That's a no!)

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

It is, frankly, insulting in the extreme & speaks volumes about how Palestinians are regarded as unpeople by the British political media class, that this is exactly how every video of every undpeakable atrocity continuing to be committed by Israel is treated by the BBC & they didn't so much as blink

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

there’s something about the “watch the video and decide for yourself what it shows” argument that unsettles me, and i think it’s partly because if all journalists are going to do is gather phone video off social media and show it to us, then… what do we need journalists for?

I love Starmerism, it's like "Uh no this guy can't be an MP because people like him. Only people everyone hates can be in Labour." It is so cool and smart.
NEW: Andy Burnham *blocked* from standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection. Of nine voting members on NEC group was 8-1 against him.

Trans people have been proved so right when they told everyone what they were dealing with - fascists - the monsters who are trying to take away their human rights out of nothing but hatred, and yet they were not believed by the majority.
Shame on all of us. We'll carry that to our graves.

Graham Linehan spent years calling comedians who supported trans rights "regime comedians", and yet, when it comes down to it, he is, of course, the biggest regime comedian of all, totally on side with Trump and his thugs. He is literally running defence for the Trump regime.

What's been notable about this nonsense is: a) that the UK political establishment was immediately and uniformly outraged, indicating that "our brave boys" remains more of a red line than NATO; and b) that they will be more than satisfied by this graceless non-apology.

People did similar coverage for Renee Good and I do absolutely believe that it makes a difference. It reaches a lot of low-info voters who don’t consume much political media, and it isn’t framed as political news coverage. it’s framed, correctly, as coverage of an innocent person’s murder
This is the kind of write up we see for victims of airline crashes or other high profile deaths.

James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Breathless reports on Twitter from Project Veritas & fellow creeps of infiltrating ICE watch signals. I thought, Oh, no, they found a couple of jackasses & are going to blow them up. But no, the "conspiracy" is that many people volunteer, take turns on shifts, and train at nonviolence.

Vermeule understands ‘no borders’ in the context of no migrant being ‘illegal’ naturally leads to a principled philosophical anarchism (‘no gods, no kings, no masters’): freedom of movement and bodily autonomy is central to liberty. He sees this fundamental truth and is repulsed: he opposes liberty
