More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

This you, Kristi?

A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter). The top tweet is from user @covie_93 with the caption: “This tweet aged like Stephen Miller…..”. Below it is a tweet from Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) that reads:
“If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.
Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.
South Dakota defends the Constitution.”

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

How "the mood shifts" on migration is a total mystery though

Imagine if voters didn't come up with their voting preferences magically in a vacuum and instead were influenced by sources of information that could be studied to explore their quality, biases and the interests they protect...

Headline: Germany ends fast-track citizenship as mood on migration shifts

Police in Cornwall do not arrest Palestine Action protesters.

A spokesperson for the Network for Police Monitoring (Netpol) said:

“The actions of Cornwall & Devon Police today exposes the policing priorities of the Metropolitan Police and this government"

Cornwall police choose not to arrest Palestine Action protesters

It was in stark contrast to a similar demo outside Truro Cathedral in July when all eight silent protesters were arrested.

Reading a book on Auschwitz and Nazis and just came across a bit discussing how the Nazis first planned to ship millions of Jews to Africa and how that idea, in 2004 when the book was written, seems 'far fetched today'.

20 years later, how many people did the Tories want to send to Rwanda?

Further to that, the practice of the arts and engagement with them necessitate (and foster) empathy and imagination, two qualities usually and essentially in short supply in the conservative mindset. I can see why they would think all that without value. It's not really part of their experience

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

Unemployment in the UK is currently around 1.7m, and not all of those claim benefits.

The entire population of those cities is about 2m people, and that includes children and retired folks.

No one gets Motability assistance *for* ADHD. It's just that some people with ADHD have mobility issues.

God forbid the Guardian actually add any context to any of this by pointing out that it's all lies.

Badenoch confirms Tories would cut welfare spending
Badenoch turns to welfare.

Right now, there are six and a half million working age adults claiming benefits instead of working.

You heard me right – six and a half million.

That is the entire population of Cardiff and Belfast and Glasgow and Manchester combined being paid to sit at home all day.

We cannot expect people to get up and go to work and pay more and more in taxes to subsidise millions of others not to work …

We have done the hard work, and we have a plan to cut welfare spending.

First, British benefits for British citizens. It is common sense that you should not draw out of a system that you haven’t paid into.

Second, we will restrict benefits to those with the more severe mental health conditions, not anxiety or mild depression. Yes, these challenges are real and people should get support, but they cannot be treated as a reason for a lifetime of work.

And third, we will restrict Motability vehicles to people with serious disabilities. Those cars are not for people with ADHD.
