Trump had five deferments during the height of the Vietnam War. Four were for his education. The fifth was a medical waiver for bone spurs after college.

Dodging draft was not unusual among influential and affluent families and Vietnam was a pointless war but he's got no right to cast aspersions.

After decades of service to our country, a career that started as a Navy pilot and finished as a three star admiral, I was removed from my position without cause.

I still have more to give, more to fight for, more work to do — and I am not done serving.

This is what I always found hilarious about the meme. Rogan and his bros imagine themselves to be the strong men responding to hard times when they’re the weaklings helping to turn (relatively) good times hard.
I was once again struck by just how utterly pathetic the loser-men of our ruling class currently wrecking society are and I remembered the fashy meme. They, the fashy men sharing it, the contemptible losers of our ruling class, are the weak men. It resonates with them cos they see themselves in it.

Infantino has to go. He’s sold the game to cozy up to Trump and whatever dictator pats him on the head. Somehow makes Blatter look like a man of courage.

Yellowstone national park is witnessing a striking ecological recovery, driven by the return of one of the US’s most iconic species, the bison.
There’s good news out there if you look for it. 🦬

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.
“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

The death of Charlie Kirk is tragic. He said the worst possible things about my race, my religion and my worth and about millions of others. But violence to challenge ideologies is never the answer. Treat others how you like to be treated. As a Muslim and a human I offer condolences to his family.

My thoughts on the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Danger lies not in Kirk as an individual but in the environment that made his brand of politics possible and his killing predictable.

But when murder is justified as a response to speech, the cycle of violence accelerates.

The people who cover politics cover the sport of politics as distinct from government. To them a very successful political influencer *is* more important than a state legislator. They’ve heard of him before.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up.

Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.
