Social media might be good for "rallying the troops" and getting information across to your own side etc, but you can do that much more effectively on platforms where the top (artificially) promoted posts aren't the world's richest man agreeing with CumPie4678 that Hitler may have had a point

Farage hopes he can breeze into power without scrutiny. But his racism, corrupt donations, shady links to Russia and MAGA… make it harder for him to hide. And his tantrum reactions to being challenged reveal him for the nasty inadequate he really is.

The Wheels Are Falling off the Nigel Farage Project
The Reform leader's increasingly rattled public appearances betray a growing sense that the opportunity of a lifetime could be about to slip from his fingers

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Yes, govt bent to pressure from MPs over the benefit cap.
That's how parliamentary democracy works - and why it's a good thing.
It means a leader has to carry a wider movement with them. There's a counter-pressure to the strategists in No. 10.
It matters that we elect a Parliament, not just a PM.

America WHAT AN EARTH are you doing? How can any of you look at this and think it's OK? How can any normal human being look and think this is OK?
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.

We seem to have reached the ‘portraying the KKK in a negative light is controversial’ stage already.
Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post-Civil War era

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.
Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didn’t post earlier is that I didn’t want to raise undue attention

The only people who have spoiled the nature of this area were the mindless thugs who came to our homes last evening and created chaos.
I’ve never been scared by the asylum seekers. I’m terrified that the angry mob will return.
So, how do I get *my* country back from them? I’ve genuinely no idea

I want to make one point really clear.
We don't need Billionaires.
If we got rid of them your wages would be higher, the prices in the shops would be lower, and your Public Services would be world class.

What is it with political commentators always saying each new Trump insanity is just a 'distraction' from his current insanity?
He's not that clever. He's just doing lots of awful, instinctively authoritarian and ill-thought out things all at the same time. He has henchmen and can multi-task.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Based on the reaction to today’s column, I’m right. Calling out willful ignorance makes people uncomfortable. As it should.
