Today @rutgerbregman.com posted a transcript of his Reith Lecture showing that the version that BBC aired removed the line about Trump's world-historical corruption.
BBC emailed me: "we made the decision to remove one sentence from the lecture on legal advice.”

Historian Rutger Bregman is a well-respected proponent of a universal basic income. The Guardian has called him “the Dutch wunderkind of new ideas.”
The BBC invited Bregman to give this year’s Reith Lecture series.
Before airing, the BBC removed one sentence from his lecture, “A Time of Monsters.”

After fleeing war in Colombia, Manolo rebuilt his life in Charlotte, transforming the city’s first Latin bakery into a place of hope, opportunity, and community. We learn yesterday that Manolo, has to close the bakery to protect his Latino community from the new ICE raids. Sad story from Charlotte.

By all means. *Fry* the big dog. I am sick TF of his blue-dog, DLC, Reaganism-with-some-gay-friends triangulation schtick. Burn them all; they are rotten. We desperately need a left turn in this country.
The Left's secret weapon, as a movement, is that we don't give a crap if MAGA indicts Bill Clinton or Larry Summers or anyone else. Fuck 'em. We're here out of principle, not hero worship. Something MAGA will never understand.

Perhaps the most damning words in this article are the claim that this is "a bitter conservative family fight" over the neo-Nazi, Nick Fuentes.

Sarah Kendzior was jokingly paraphrasing a Johnny Cash lyric in reaction to an article about Johnny Cash, but I understand how this could be viewed as violating TOS.
Nonetheless, between this and misreading the meme that got Link suspended, @safety.bsky.app has work to do on contextualization.
