We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

The Reform candidate in Gorton and Denton is backed by Tommy Robinson.

His campaign team includes those with extreme, racist views. My letter calling on Matthew Goodwin to reject their support. 👇🏻

And sweeping aside the most significant challenge of our - or indeed any - generation, he dismisses the climate catastrophe that has begun in half a paragraph.

And our own dear leaders applauded him.

We are so … what’s the word…?

And the peoples who lived here when they ‘arrived’? And their beliefs?

I’ll wait.
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

Spent many days last summer gradually moving 1000 bricks

You know how far you could carry those armfuls of 6 to 8 bricks in that formation?

Absolutely no steps at all.

Even if someone handed them to you as two heaps of 3 to 4 bricks, they be breaking your toes on impact in seconds.

Definitely how you would carry a stack of bricks.

Definitely not AI-generated bullshit.

I'm so tired.

In 1936, Norwegian ski jumper Birger Ruud won his second Olympic Gold Medal in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. As he refused to take part in their propaganda competitions, the Nazis imprisoned him for several months in a concentration camp near Oslo in 1943.

that is, things that draw communities together, not politics and falsehoods intended to divide us.

And this matters. Cures for major diseases are on the line

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Pretending that climate change is not real changes nothing about the real harms climate change is already doing to citizens in the US and beyond. This affects everyone and is an n outrageous abuse of power and can we rename EPA the environment pollution agency?
