The BBC in Scotland has been nothing but Unionist propaganda every day for at least the past decade. Why the fuck would anybody in Scotland who wants independence from the unending shitstorm that is Westminster care about the end of its State Broadcaster?

Remember, when journalists just let trans people live their lives in peace, it’s “ideological capture”, but when they use their own personal anti-trans beliefs to lead a campaign to close down the only place in the country trans youth received healthcare, it’s absolutely fine, nothing to see here.

I’ve been writing an essay that includes a discussion of the obsession that Israeli settlers have with destroying olive trees. By coincidence I found a video from 3 days ago of them doing that again.

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”
Don Moynihan on "Purge, Merge, and Surge"
"Instead of surging in Iraq, it’s happening here in American cities."

From the party that said they were working on a facade and tore down a third of the White House.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
