Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Imagine if every immigrant to the UK fully integrated and subsumed who they were to become part of this deeply beige country. What a dull place it would be. Bring the colour of their cultures, the music, the sound, the flavours, the creativity, the passion. We are at our best as an alloy.

Were Covid parties “more important” than jobs, the pandemic death rate, corruption, or other issues? Maybe not!

Were they what ended Boris Johnson’s premiership? Absolutely.

In the last 72 hours or so Donald Trump has:
• Demolished a large section of the White House
• Posted a video of himself dropping shit on the American people
• Demanded a $230 million payout from his own Department of Justice

Also the federal government is still shut down, but, y’know…

"Trump is going to invade American cities and bulldoze the White House" would have been seen as an alarmist liberal fever dream thing to say a year ago

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

Thieves broke into the National Art Gallery in New York today. Police sealed off all the exits whereupon the thieves escaped through all the entrances.
