Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Trump admits his agenda is one of 'hate and stupidity'. Perhaps the first honest thing he's said.
"RINO Congressman, Thomas Massie, made a total fool of himself yesterday, fighting aimlessly against a hopeless agenda of Hate and Stupidity"
Every Trump accusation is an admission.
Here, Trump admits that his own agenda is "Hate and Stupidity."

"We need new laws to lock up people who express support for something we disagree with but can't actually find anything sufficiently wrong with"
Yes, what if we moved the goalposts again so that this abysmal piece of shit, this walking affront to the democratic process, could just jail anyone he wants rid of? Much to think about

BBC eventually accepting that 'both sides'-ing the Pretti murder was wrong. I suppose it's a start
In short, while pointing out that breaking news with conflicting perspectives involves publication of competing accounts, pending clarification, BBC accepts it was slow to adjust once it became clear that only one side was engaged in to truth. Key paras in long email here …

the enemy of the US far right is - half the human race?
idk how to rebuild society for this but i don't think people should be allowed to talk like this without it going very poorly for them
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Reform UK approached Bangor University to ask whether Sarah Pochin (Reform MP) could come to debate. They said no, and this is the response they get
Reform would behave exactly as Donald Trump. Don't agree with them, and they will penalise, threaten, defund, and cancel you. They are proto fascists.

I would also add that there's never been a better time to take up caffeine
starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

As ever it's not the crime that's 'regretted', it's the getting caught
If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.

Whatever we think of Mandelson and Starmer, you can see how Trump's election has poisoned UK politics
"Starmer didn't pick Mandelson in spite of his Epstein connections… He picked him because of them."
Would he have made the same choice if Kamala Harris had won?
"Absolutely not", says @lewisgoodall.com.

this 👇
Left: Zia Yusuf, "Mandelson deserves to be in jail. The buck stops with the executive, Keir Starmer is a disgrace to his office and should resign"
Right: Nathan Gill is in jail for accepting Russian bribes. Using Zia Yusuf's logic, isn't Nigel Farage also a disgrace, and should also resign?

oh I've written about this before! one of the big problems with people developing those assumptions is also that they become entirely unable to then engage with normies who represent like.....98% of the population, and whose beliefs are formed on a much more case-by-case basis
The problem with social media is that you’re only allowed to hold opinions in batches. If you believe X and Y, you must also believe Z, which is atmospherically similar to X and Y and believed by all the same people.
If you don’t do this, everyone hates you. It makes actual thinking impossible.
