Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Joanne will never run out of money because people keep buying her stuff, and so this will keep happening. SLAPP after SLAPP until trans people are completely drummed out of public existence and nobody will do a thing about it

People have been told they should be proud of the “extraordinary”, “wonderful”, and “fabulous service” Merseyrail provides. Conservatives last night pointed to high reliability and customer satisfaction data when arguing against public ownership

People told should be proud of Merseyrail for 'fabulous service'
One councillor said: "Why on earth would we want to change this fantastic service?"

The regulators are asleep at the wheel on the normalisation & disinhibition of unlawful racist abuse.
Ministers have yet to make the obvious link between their rhetorical disapproval of the slurs of the 70s/80s and their policy responsibility to do something about drivers

Have we entered a racism timewarp?
Why does X routinely defend the racist abuse that it has a legal duty to remove?
A binary choice: must we tolerate the use of "paki" as a racist slur in the Britain of 2025 - or will government act to Make Twitter Lawful Again?

Labour's next biggest losses are to left-liberal parties (Liberal Democrats and Greens).
Reform's growth in support has mostly come from the Conservatives and non-voting (much less from Labour).

Labour's strategy since the election seems designed to appeal to right-conservative voters.
This strategy hasn't worked on its own terms because they have lost the (very few) right-wing voters that they had, while also losing (much) larger numbers of left-wing voters.
