One of my abiding impressions of Brexit is the way it slammed doors of opportunity in the faces of young people several rungs below Boris Johnson’s countless children on the ladders of privilege & advantage.

I just saw a woman on Reporting Scotland referring to asylum seekers as 'fighting age men' with the clear implication that asylum seekers are here to conduct a violent invasion. That's not just a racist dog whistle, it's a racist fog horn.

He doesn’t know what part of the body they did an MRI on. Sounds plausible. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.
