After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

For there to be no comment from the government on Musk's call for violence, let alone action against X, is unconscionable. An utter dereliction of its responsibility for national security and an affront to every member of an ethnic minority, who is being put at risk by this rhetoric.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

And I'm one of those who's been using what little influence I have to argue against progressives writing off the Labour government (e.g. my most recent @bylinetimes.bsky.social column, below). But if, as it seems with this, they're really going down the Glasman 'Blue Labour' route then, sorry, no.

I notice some references to Nazi Germany in relation to this and ofc I understand why. But I increasingly think those comparisons are unnecessary. The specifics of what *is* happening here & now are damning enough. Anyone unpersuaded of that isn't likely to be by references to what it is *like*.
"Fun videos". FFS. There's something not just sickening but sick about such casual cruelty.
