“There is no danger in Spain of Francoism coming back, but forgetting history can make you take for granted the democratic freedoms that need constant vigilance and protection.” My piece @theguardian.com on memory, unexplained history, the transition and my mom! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I grew up in Spain amid a collective amnesia about Franco. It is time we faced up to our dark past | María Ramírez
This week marks 50 years of Spanish democracy, but the failure to talk more about the crimes of the dictatorship leaves us vulnerable, says the journalist María Ramírez

What do you do if you're a con artist, you run a scam, the marks roll up and you get rich? You tweak it, polish it, make it more professional and run it again and again, finessing it each time. That's UKIP, The Brexit Party and Reform UK.

The fact that a guy called Nick Fuentes can be a prominent white supremacist in the US suggests that a lot of US white supremacists are a few bricks short of a load

it's genuinely incredible, but entirely expected, that the certificate which is a physical representation of fourteen thousand pounds of your time and money, is sent back to you in an envelope which doesn't even have a cardboard backing. ole boydy's saddling up for one more mission

this country literally does not care about migrants "pitching in", or "contributing", or "integrating", or anything else because you do all of that and their final response in relation to the above is to throw this all-important document into the wind and shrug. i've sent better secured ebay parcels

I had this by @chrisdillow.bsky.social open in a tab, after @pauliewaulie.bsky.social‬ had mentioned it, and now I finally read it. It's from 2018, but as true now as when it was written:

Against debate
Debating our opponents is pointless, and often dangerous.

Going to watch the American football on Channel5 shortly. There's something very soothing about watching a sport whose rules I find barely intelligible played by two teams from vaguely familiar cities with commentary that is, as far as I can tell, six or so people reading from James Joyce's Ulysses.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

There is one sure fire solution:

Give people with ILR the right to vote. This is the model in New Zealand. Anyone with permanent residency gets to vote.

All of a sudden the incentives toward othering and performative cruelty are gone. There are millions of votes in compassion and inclusivity

Of all the thousands of kilometres of copy written about Brexit, this is probably the neatest encapsulation I’ve seen of why it happened.

‘…what Cameron was actually doing was giving the British public a fuck-you button, and asking: "Do you want to press it?"’

It's about time someone was brave enough to say this.
The war on drugs has failed.
It punishes those with addictions, drives drug sales through the black market and ultimately kills people.

We need to grow up and make what’s so obviously the right decision.
We need to stop criminalising drugs.
