A reminder that the minister in charge of the housing crisis for the past 5 years is now in charge of our climate response instead.
It’s going great.

Broadly:
TV news skews older.
Print news (including online versions) skews younger.

I was all set to begrudgingly vote for Humphreys, because I think Connolly *will* make multiple large unforced errors as President.
BUT…
Anyone who equivocates even a little bit on human rights is dead in the water for me.
Congratulations to Catherine Connolly, I guess?

Oh she can fuck right off "That legislation [the Gender Recognition Act 2015] was actually not passed by me, it was passed by a previous Minister. And the legislation is in place. And maybe it does need to be looked at.”"

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

Gonna call out this response in a positive way, for handling the mistake correctly.

This sounds like a good lead, but I don’t know what to do with it.
Gonna tag @alancurran.bsky.social and hope for the best.

Not sure you’ve seen these images here, but in the UK they’re arresting dangerous anti genocide protestors for “supporting terrorism”. You can sleep easier knowing these thugs are off the streets.

Oh, and it repeats the claims this will “cause“ mass layoffs, despite the fact that previous shutdowns didn’t do so, and any layoffs will be entirely the choice of Republicans.

Nowhere in this article does it mention that Republicans control all three branches of goverment, and could do whatever they wanted if they got their own house in order.

Working Class = Poverty Line + X%
You can argue amongst yourselves how much the X% is.
But it means a lot of highly educated people, and a lot of highly skilled roles, are working class.
And a lot of people living very comfortably, who like to cosplay as ”working class”, are not.

The problem is, Huey would be funnier, and he even had a bit in Power of Love about a train.
What could have been...

I feel like Huey is too generationally-specific to stick, but Daniel Day could work. He'd need to unretire a couple more times after this movie though.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 7d

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?
