The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

This should be every politicians viewpoint, and anyone who doesnt think this is the case needs to step aside so leaders can actually lead.
"Democratic politicians urgently need to adopt the GOP view of public opinion—that it’s movable, and it’s their job to move it." newrepublic.com/article/2058...
Instead of Pandering, Democrats Should Try Changing Voters’ Minds
How can the party of liberalism make liberal ideas more popular? By creating a more liberal electorate. Yes, it can be done. Here are five ways how.

The list of things council is considering cutting in order to keep taxes “flat” is insane. (From Sam Austin’s website). Call your councillor and tell them you won’t support them if they support these cuts.

Completely fair. During the Corbyn years we had to ban someone from our 40,000 strong Labour forum on FB, who was subsequently parachuted into a Labour safeseat, for continuous, nasty, aggressive trolling of the entire left, from moderate to hard.
This is the near-universal experience of being vaguely familiar to people on social media, I’m afraid. I am absolutely nobody - a dull office worker - and yet I repeatedly had e.g. an MP’s husband RTing me to his rabid supporters who would roar dog’s abuse at me for days. Not fun! But I got over it.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

I understand a lot of the anger/frustration from Corbynites towards much of the press because of these years. But Marie is actually awesome, and maybe the naturally and honestly funniest accounts on here. Plus, a damn good writer.
vividly remember, in the Corbyn Hell Years, seeing people on Twitter quite actively bonding over their joint hatred of me - trying to outdo each other in their meanness - and I just don't think it's possible to explain how weird and unpleasant it is, especially as someone who's....no-one
People don’t really understand the nature of the problem. It’s not lots of little random ankle-biter tweets. That’s annoying but whatever. It’s when hating you becomes this communal pursuit that exists separately from yourself. Like there’s an entire group of people working together to target you.

Russia killed Alexei Navalny with frog toxin, UK and allies say
Former opposition leader’s death while in Arctic jail at age of 47 result of mixture of diseases, according to Moscow

The frog poison – called epibatidine – is said to have been used when Navalny, 47, died suddenly on 16 February 2024. Continue reading...
