The far right will, of course, treat the Paul Doyle case very differently from one where the accused is darker-skinned or foreign or both. The rest of us must not. That’s kind of the point.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

To late for Labour in Wales.
This is officially one of the most idiotic things Labour could do. Playing to Reform emboldens Reform. You can't out anti-immigration them. Labour has both the majority and time to implement policies which actually benefit people, and put the case for immigration.

Group of Labour MPs urge No 10 to be tougher on migration to fend off threat from Reform
Exclusive: Pressure group of MPs from constituencies where Reform came second at last election call for Labour to ‘shout louder’ about action on immigration

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Boris Johnson does not care about “freedoms” nor the economy. If he did, he’d want us to rejoin the EU.

What he *does* care about, ladies & gents, is you fighting to save his legacy for his own ego’s sake.

I say let’s nuke it.

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.

Because the shame has to switch sides.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

If you can get a cigarette paper between @uklabour.bsky.social and @conservatives.bsky.social then you've found something so thin that it has only one side.

Autism is a spectrum. It means every
autistic person experiences different
combinations of autistic traits.
You face many challenges but
they can be turned into strengths.
Autism is like a rainbow it has a
bright side and a darker side but
every shade is important and beautiful.
