starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:
The government's net approval rating has fallen to -59, Labour's lowest score to date

Approve: 11% (-2 from 23-25 August)
Disapprove: 70% (+3)
Net: -59 (-5)

Remember, if something awful happens in a red state it’s disgusting to question political leaders and their responsibility. But if something awful happens in a blue state well, it’s only natural to blame it all on the libs or the one (1) trans person who was employed by the city for a few years.
Rep. Roger Williams on people questioning the response to the Texas floods: "Why don't they write a nice letter to somebody? Why don't they down there and say 'we're gonna pray for these people'? Let's hold hands and do that."

Q: The other officer who came upon Boelter and saw him sitting in a vehicle, did she report that or realize it was suspect?

ACTING US ATTORNEY THOMPSON: I don't think she did. She knew something was awry and then he proceeded to Brooklyn Park and carried out the next shooting.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

So many of these events were crazy, but my brain is broken by this part. A cop shows up, sees another cop there, pulls up next to him, he refuses to even look at her, and she doesn't even clock it as suspicious. Truly insane.

We're in court today seeking to expand our clients' recent legal victory to ensure all transgender, non-binary, and intersex people can be issued accurate passports.

Everyone deserves correct identification that reflects who we are.
