What conservatives mean when they say they are "under attack for their views" is that they are being accurately understood as the sort of people who hold the sort of views conservatives hold, and that makes them afraid they will be treated the way conservatives treat those whose views they scorn.
The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

Hey yeg cyclists, I bought a panier from Aliexpress and it came with a rain cover that I’ve never used. It measures roughly 40” long and 22” wide. Can anyone use this? Maybe for a bike trailer?Free.

We don’t say “13-year-old man” or “underaged man” because boys are always talked about as boys when they’re young.
But girls are often called “young women” or “underage women,” even when they’re the same age.
That means:
Girls get labelled as adults earlier.
Boys stay labelled as kids longer.

@chad it should be a simple principle of freedom to be who you want to be.

Remember this? The most amazing thing about this remarkable 2002 car commercial is that it didn’t seem to realize at the time, or perhaps didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars and car infrastructure are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn car company.

If we designed roads for cars in the same way we design bike paths, we'd never have to worry about speeding again. Problem solved.

Today, the council unanimously approved my motion to improve & expand access to emergency day shelters & dedicated day shelter spaces for the winter of 25/26
What does this mean?
It means that people experiencing homelessness will now have more places to go during the day to receive support & care

Without a doubt, the biggest story in the country today should be Donald Trump admitting on CBS last night that he has no idea who he’s pardoning.
He let a convicted crypto fraudster walk free and then, on national television, straight-up said he only did it because his sons told him to. Let […]

Do you have a humidifier in your house? The kind that blows cool mist?
It is probably making your air dirty. Like, forest fire dirty!
We have an air pollution monitor and we recently bought one of these "ultrasonic" humidifiers. Immediately, our monitor started showing dirty air! 🤔
