"Lies and Dirty Tricks: How the Starmer-Mandelson-McSweeney Project Was Always Doomed to Fail"

Great piece from author Paul Holden for Zeteo on the political shitshow in the UK:
Lies and Dirty Tricks: How the Starmer-Mandelson-McSweeney Project Was Always Doomed to Fail
Labour is hemorrhaging support, ex-chief of staff McSweeney is out, and in the most recent blow, the UK's High Court ruled Starmer's proscription of Palestine Action as a terror group was unlawful.

Minnesota still needs your attention
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

I spoke to folks in Minnesota this morning. Much of the press coverage has disappeared, but the violence continues unabated.

Just because Bovino isn't there running tear gas parties does not mean they've stopped attacking Minnesotans. Please pay attention!!

I imagine it would not make a difference at all if professionally anti trans (or anti-Woke Trans Taking It Too Far, or whatever they claim to sound less hateful) people experienced the real world beyond their phones and cliques but I met a trans kid very recently. People and immediate family are…

He is solid at what he did/kinda still does. Becoming TPUSA and the rnc’s house band has diluted his juice which is unfortunate because John Legend doing a lot of pro dem stuff def has not ruined his act
When I was a kid my mom’s friend took me to see Aerosmith and he was the opener and it really fucking sucks to admit this but he was great

I like how Trump’s culture war now boils down mostly to:

Bruce Springsteen and Bad Bunny are irrelevant, culturally. Now, please stand for your national anthem: BAHDIDABAHDABANGDABANGDIGGYDIGGYBAHDIDABAHDABANGDA

S. Mpls resident here. They’ve definitely changed tactics, but they’re still here. I think the word from on high is no more public executions, at least for now. They are more present in the suburbs, where resistance is more diffuse. They also travel in smaller convoys, making them harder to spot.

As we outlined in the story, it is very much Not over
As of yet, there is no evidence of them actually drawing down or ending their occupation of Minneapolis-St. Paul😡

Minneapolis breaking the Trump regime is such an incredible testament to the resolve and courage of the people who live there and I hope they know that they are an inspiration to all of us.
