Happy Valentine’s Day all! ❤️ What could be more romantic than listening to me dragging Hernán Cortés for filth on #YDTM? I had a great time with Jen Brister & @gregjenner.bsky.social & even got to call William Prescott a dirty old man on the BBC 😂 What a result!

This is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers.
It is time to choose sides.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

But I thought it was an American’s “god given right” to carry a gun, hence why nothing is ever done to legislate against guns, even with children in schools being killed regularly? He was also lying on the ground, without his gun, when he was shot 9 times. What threat did he pose? This is murder.
From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

By Saturday afternoon, some Trump admin. personnel had already begun scouring the internet and other resources trying to find information on Alex Pretti, including social media posts, that could tie him to what Team Trump call “extremists,” two sources familiar with the matter tell @zeteo.com …
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

The hunger strikers have ended their 73-day strike after forcing the cancellation of Elbit’s £2 billion contract. This is a people-powered victory—but it comes at a horrific, lifelong cost.

Spearhead was a far right paramilitary group led by Colin Jordan in the 1950s and 60s.
At first, I thought this logo was a spoof but apparently it’s for real.

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

It’s worth asking: what would be too much for these people? What would they not be willing to do, if this is fine. And the answer, realistically, is “nothing, all is terribly possible”.
