Such direct public interference in an ally’s internal affairs from a top official used to be cause for a diplomatic incident.

The Forstater case broke something fundamentally in our democracy and nobody cared because it was happening to those fucking trannies at the time.
This is how transphobia's right wing fuckery blew open basic respect in the UK, there is absolutely no reason to expect now that being "women critical" is not also a protected belief, if you truly do not believe that women should just be reproductive slaves for cis men.
This will be used to abuse.

Drives me mad that people talk about Danish immigration policy as a *political* success without bothering to look at the polls.
Aside from the crucial voting system difference, the Social Democrats over this period have haemorrhaged votes to progressive parties and are currently on course for their worst result in 110yrs, while the Green Left are set for their best ever.
The Danish People's Party are currently gaining.

what do we call a government with a permanently suspended or frozen parliament that is currently being ruled by decree through a singular executive and his unelected court
Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

There is nothing whatsoever radical about those policies, no, but they are also very much not a given "in Europe." Kind of a weird claim from a factual accuracy standpoint.
Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ -- Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It's not an exaggeration to say that Musk sees foreign aid as suicidal empathy. In his eugenicist views, it's suicidal to keep Black and brown people alive while white people are not having enough children. The deaths of 600,000 are not an unintended consequence. It's what he wanted.
I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

This and “THEY are the people who [perform some service, like food or healthcare] for US, and that’s WHY they deserve rights”
You ever allow yourself to perceive how much good-natured defense of multiculturalism is just “they bring us this food”?
That doesn’t seem like a great attitude.

Fwiw, the trend towards disclosing the ethnicity/nationality of suspects in high-profile cases has not solved any problem (disinformation is still thriving) and only fuels polarisation and creates opportunities for grifters.

I would humbly put forward that it is not a coincidence that the best US politicians on Palestine are also the best US politicians on Sudan
To give some credit there is a growing chorus of dissent on this issue in Congress, lead by Van Hollen, Sara Jacobs, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar among others.

starting to wonder if they have a humiliation kink or something. how else do you explain this level of rake stepping
I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

This is absolutely right. It’s about creating a permission structure for violence, whether that violence is conducted by the state directly or simply permitted by the state.
The claim that "civil war is inevitable in the UK" is better understood as an expression of the author's desire to see blood spilt on British streets.

Graham Platner is a “left” Democrat who is clearly a crypto-bigot who should be nowhere near power.
Gavin Newsom is a “center” Democrat who is clearly a crypto-bigot who should be nowhere near power.
It’s not about left and center. It’s about having the self-respect to reject people like this.

One of the many, many problems with Your Party is it’s largely composed of reactionaries who are either hypocrites - you wouldn’t see them calling pro-Palestine demonstrators absurd - or fundamentally do not believe in liberal values.
