After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Reform UK councillor slapped with a £40,000 fine for hiring an illegal worker. 🤔
So much for "taking back control", apparently the rule is: deport them… but only after we’ve squeezed some cheap labour out of them.
A masterclass in hypocrisy!

Please avoid the label #ProfoundAutism, as "There is a clear risk that 'Profound Autism' will lead to clinical and research confusion." Instead, we need to describe autistic people's support needs individually, to ensure they get the right accommodations.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Bless the Guardian for continuing to wallop Farage with this, and you can see he flails uselessly when he’s asked about it. But do you see how nobody else is stampeding to assist and, if anything, the right has rallied to his defence? What lessons should we learn here.

I was on the sidelines of a non jury court case recently and the judge clearly had an inherent bias in favour of one person in particular and got everything wrong. Ruled in favour of the aggressor and basically called everyone else who gave honest evidence liars. It was eye opening.

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.
Both were later sentenced to life in prison!
