I don’t know how anyone can look at what’s happening in Minnesota and think “this is a regime that intends to allow for a peaceful transition of power.”

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

So we're all doing this then, right?
I used to have a colleague who would bring me to meetings to intervene on her behalf when the other men in the meetings would trample her. Not a great scene!
I have been yelled at and ridiculed in meetings by men while male colleagues remained silent so none of this is surprising.

Immigrants are…
a) almost uniformly not allowed access to public funds;
b) charged doubly for using the NHS (immigration surcharge and tax);
c) and required to make more than £41k and pay upwards of £10k/pp by the time they’re granted ILR.
What part of that is not earning their right?

This is so obviously true.
It’s also – not for nothing – bonkers stupid as a policy. The reason the data shows so many foreign grads don’t transition to employment visas “as intended” is because Labour has made it even more difficult – and even more EXPENSIVE!!!! – to sponsor workers.

It is laughable to think that you can neuter the far right with minor tweaks like this.
How many Conservative or Reform supporters even know that immigrants have to pass a language test? They object to immigration on emotional grounds, not because they have dry objections to eligibility criteria.
