I don't know what is more depressing. That the BBC seems to have no clue what democratic socialism is or that someone who comments on politics for a living thinks it's the same as communism.

Jesus wept, indeed. GCSE, Introduction to Politics, Chapter 1, stuff.

Reform councillor snubs journalists minutes after election

This is Lee Duffy, he paid for a buffet for residents during the election period and somehow got away with it.

Why is he trying to avoid the press?

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

The US constitution says that #Trump cannot stand for a third term.

But constitutions, like other rules, can be altered. Or ignored.

What is there to *actually* prevent Trump from trampling on convention to get his own way?

It wouldn't be the first time...

9 months back in power, and every branch of government now merged into one corrupt man. The House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, all nothing but autopens for a crook who’s doubled his fortune while Americans starve.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

RIP John Woodvine. And then there were 5 😢
1. Laurie Webb, born 6th May 1924.
2. Michael Craig, born 27th January 1928.
3. Raymond Llewellyn, born 15th August 1928.
4. Peter Cellier, born 7th December 1928.
5. John Woodvine, born 21st July 1929.
6. Colin Jeavons, born 20th October 1929.
Looks like only 6 credited actors survive from the 20s.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
