'Gary Neville's comments about "angry, middle-aged white men" being responsible for division in the UK have angered middle-aged white men such as Nigel Farage and Jeremy Kyle.'

"It pisses them off so much. Neville lives rent-free inside their heads."

Nigel Farage has criticised Gary Neville for his comments about 'angry white men' dividing the UK. Has his "shallow patriotism" been exposed?

‘Gary Neville is a political threat to Nigel Farage because he doesn’t think the same' | The News Agents

Gary Neville has accused “angry, middle aged white men” of stoking division in the UK following the Manchester synagogue attack on Yom Kippur. His comments have angered right-wing voices, but is this…

Probably the most personal conversation I’ve ever put online. We talk about coming out, imposter syndrome, and what it means when just existing becomes political. youtu.be/UIuIaN2kimE

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Stephen Miller believes that if he supercharges the debate over Trump's abuses of power with enough propaganda, he can polarize it and force low-info voters to embrace authoritarianism. Pritzker/Newsom have accepted that this requires an information war in response.

Pritzker is meeting the moment and if he stands up for the people, stands up against Trump's rein of terror, holds ICE accountable, he can elevate himself as a front runner for Dem leadership.

Now is the moment for leaders, not cowards.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"
