I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

The fact that they can't get a random sampling of citizens from any city to indict people for interfering with ICE seems more informative than any political poll, tbh

I mean you could argue that Chappell Roan’s “Good luck babe” is lesbian erasure, it sounds like something that would fit on “the innocents“, maybe after “Phantom bride” and before “Chains of love.”

I’m not sharing an UnHerd link but why have they turned on Tice? Trouble in paradise? or is it just one of their periodic flinging a bone to the crowd of stooges who provide their flimsy liberal figleaves?

I can only add to this that when I had to go to hospital in Leigh in February I had the most wonderful doctors and nurses of all ethnic groups looking after me and they were talking about potentially having a Saturday chippy tea that day. I see bad-faith 'integration' arguments a mile off

Stephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social · 4h

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

Iain Mansfield @igmansfield.bsky.social · 4h

Outstanding piece by Stephen Daisley.

Ethnicity is no barrier to Britishness - it's culture and integration.

That means 'smaller cohorts and aggressive integration policies' - and tackling the institutions that 'have amplified grievance narratives and radical anti-Western ideologies'.

Will you address the fact that this piece is, at heart, a huge lie Ian? Census data shows unequivocally that it is.

If the government really wants to scrap degrees which deliver no value to the UK and indeed have led to £ billions in damage to the economy and culture of the UK then it just needs to scrap the Oxford PPE degree and arrest everyone who has taken it.

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 7h

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

A new study found that injecting nanoparticles can 'remind' the blood–brain barrier to function properly again, restoring normal brain activity in mice. Human trials could follow within years.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Nice. If I may add 2 cents: The real reason BW quit the Times was that as soon as Katie Kingsbury took over from James Bennet, she told her she could no longer commission and edit articles. She could only write. But commissioning articles was key to her grift. I mean literally …

She promoted herself among certain circles as the key to getting into the Times. Which is one reason why I and others blocked so many of her commissioned pieces (one reason: they were also terrible). She said it was our deep ideological bias against conservatives…

What so many of us found offensive about that is that our esprit de corps was based on not being ideologically biased (to a fault, if anything — pobody’s nerfect). It was so obvious that it was all a grift, and that it would end badly, with her defenestrating all the people she had sucked up to …

along the way. When Katie K told her to pound sand, the next step was inevitable. My only surprise was how quickly she bounced back, and how much higher. I believe one of my colleagues said she “won.” Um, maybe…

Anyway, Liz makes a lot of great points here and perhaps she’s right, but also, never underestimate a master at her craft.
