It’s mad, it’s not even close, just looking at the stats now as recently as 2015 the Tories were at 31% among men aged 18-24. Latest YouGov is at 22% for Tories and Reform *combined*. That’s a massive drop. In any other context you’d be talking about the generational decline of the right.

The endless column inches, YouTube videos, podcasts and more given over to the largely non-existent rightwards shift of young men is exhausting.
A small fraction are getting radicalised by the online right. But most young men vote left and liberal! Even more so than millennials did at their age!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision.
We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.
People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover.

Encouraging.
I mean the amount of money wasted on pursuing it... that's depressing
But encouraging to see a jury being sensible.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Billie Eilish became the latest star at the Grammys to take a stand against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. The musician, who won the song of the year Grammy award for her hit "Wildflower," said on stage as she accepted her award, "No one is illegal on stolen land."

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Feels like @usatoday.com are engaging in a bit of cognitive dissonance here describing the opening as a "blockbuster" and a "success" ... $7m doesn't feel like that against a $78m documentary.
"Melania" was panned by critics. Still, the film made history, illustrating the divide between Hollywood and Trump's hold on his MAGA base.
