It’s what the Reich Wing is trying to do with Kirk. Hopefully America treats Kirk’s death like an average school Shooting and forgets all about it within the next 13 days

"A friend is in the cross hairs of the administration. I asked her if her world had gotten smaller. Not exactly, she said. “It’s like what happens when somebody dies. There will always be people who will disappoint you. And other people show themselves, having been through what you’ve been through”

Meanwhile in Russia: Vladimir Solovyov and his guests rejoiced that under Trump, America is abandoning its fundamental principles, including freedom of the press. Once again, he predicted that Trump's America will join Russia in its fight against Europe.

When I interviewed older South Asian British people about their retirement decisions over a decade ago, a large number said they had kept a passport and land in India and Pakistan 'just in case'
When I asked 'in case what?' they responded 'in case we are told to leave Britain'
When I asked 'in case what?' they responded 'in case we are told to leave Britain'
Nigel Farage: "We will abolish indefinite leave to remain (ILR) status", and "We will rescind ILR statuses that have already been granted".
The first sentence is worryingly ignorant. The second sentence is frighteningly fascist.

Having spent the last few days in Warsaw, I'm more conscious of the echoes of 1939-45 - not just Hitler's aggression & Stalin's treachery, but the fecklessness of the Western allies. Ukraine has had far more help than Poland, but if Putin ultimately wins, W fecklessness will have helped again.
On this day in 1939, German and Soviet forces marched together in a victory parade in Brest-Litovsk.
Moscow called it a “liberation campaign.” For Poland, it meant occupation, executions and mass deportations.

The truth is there are three kinds of people: the disabled, the pre-disabled, and the doomed to die suddenly. Most of us will be disabled at some point.
You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.
It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.
We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

OMG! In the last 5 years alone, the 200 most politically active companies in the U.S. spent $5.8 billion influencing our government with lobbying and campaign contributions.
Those same companies got $4.4 trillion in taxpayer money — earning a return of 750 times their investment. Watch this!

"One of the most important, and most overlooked, functions of protest is to prevent the dreaded 'spiral of silence,' which can begin when people wrongly believe that their own point of view is not widely shared," Betsy Levy Paluck writes:
The Most Overlooked Value of Political Protest
Small acts of staying quiet may seem merely polite or indifferent, but they can easily spiral.
