Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

I'm joking here but it is just outrageously and needlessly offensive to (pretend to) believe, or imply, because you haven't thought through the implications of your purported beliefs, that you might say to a British Jew whose great grandparents barely escaped the Nazis: actually, you're German

HOLY HELL; 🔥
JB #Pritzker just went nuclear on #Trump:

“Donald Trump & his bootlickers have torn down the Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. And Donald Trump and his cronies can f*** all the way off.”

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

"It is unknown where Miller now sleeps during the day" 🤣🤣
It is unknown where Miller now sleeps during the day, he decided to flee his home after witnessing colorful chalk on his sidewalk that said: “Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,” “stop the kidnapping,” “hate has no home in Arlington,” which prompted him to fear for his life.

I see enshitification of the web has reached @metoffice.gov.uk - the new beta view removes much useful, up front data and now requires users to scroll then select tabs and settings to see what was once immediately available. I just despair sometimes, everything, at every level, seems to get worse.

Backyard Ultras are devilishly clever. Running 4.1667 miles in an hour every hour looks easy. With a national record and PB of 59 yards going in, Sarah Perry 🇬🇧 has today set a new female world record of 95 yards before stopping. 396 miles. 4 days. No chance to really sleep, or even eat a meal. 🤯

"A blanket ban on access to gender- affirming spaces does not support healing. It retraumatises. It isolates. It tells vulnerable young people that their needs don't matter."

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
