The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

"There is a straight line from the virulently anti-immigrant far-right protests of the past to the current spate of flag-waving. They are being used to send a message, to make a 'protest' about what Britain has lost… to migrants," writes Dr Kehinde Andrews

1/ The Trump Administration is seeking to force foreign companies worldwide to ban diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes within their firms if they want to do business with the US government. It's an aggressive expansion of its anti-DEI crusade. ⬇️

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

I mean Trump today is quite literally releasing far right extremist paramilitary leaders who staged an insurrection. America, even American liberal media, is responding with an exhausted and defeated shrug.

Yep. Genuinely great. Having lived through the era it inevitably hit a really nostalgic chord too. May have shed a tear. Lovely exploration of the family dynamics.
Thought #BetterMan was fantastic. It hits all the beats of a standard musical biopic, yes, but with such inventiveness. Worth seeing even if you’re on the fence about Robbie Williams.
