Gavin Newsom is definitely not a just a charming, dislexic neurodivergent, he's a politician. And yes, every muppet would make a better president than the current, but wow... Newsom really seems human!
"I can’t be someone I’m not. I’m not good at being someone I’m not. I’m not comfortable faking it. There are so many things in politics I’m not good at.

The one good thing, though, is I think politics is radically changing. I think it’s rewarding a little bit more authenticity."

My posts about Reform are not for Reform supporters. I do not care for them and neither does Nigel Farage. I am speaking to the rest of the country who deserve better. Reform voters can remain poor if that is the future they choose for themselves. They already voted themselves

apart from the sheer inconceivable horror of the El Fasher massacre and its attendant horrors itself, the thing I'm feeling depressed about is that it probably won't matter.

these were people already on the utmost margins of the global system, who the world has already decided it doesn't care about
60,000 is the *low end* estimate.
So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified

There are British people in prison who have been hospitalised after being on hunger strike - if it was for anything other than the Palestinian cause it would be front page news. As it is, no media outlet is even slightly interested.

The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion.

I explain what just happened and why this is such a big deal for Europeans.

Let’s face the reality

14 years of inept Tory rule with money wasted on PPE, HS2 together with austerity has left the country in a social and economic mess.

Reform will cut spending and allow the super rich to get richer.

Tory governments spent £325m on free schools that failed or disappeared
More than £10bn was committed to building new schools between 2014-15 and 2023-24, compared with £6.8bn for rebuilding existing schools
