You know that time that a major British news organisation mistakenly sought out a random dude who happened to share a name with a former New York mayor in order to go after a left wing New York mayoral candidate? Did anyone resign?

Honestly TELL THE STORY. Won’t someone just tell the fucking story of how Brexit created this economic hardship, how a Muslim immigrant just saved the lives of those commuters on that train, won’t someone in politics or even media just connect the fucking dots and TELL THE STORY. IT’S RIGHT THERE

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

Reminder that back in July Katie Lam wrote an article for the Sun on Indefinite Leave to Remain and the Conservatives' proposals.
It contained a number of blatant lies and the Sun published a detailed retraction.

The death of shame and its consequences, especially for public figures, is a huge reason why we are in this place as a country. Shame as a concept is imperfect and can be abused, but we should absolutely be able to say that people with horrific, hateful beliefs must be made pariahs.

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred
I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

We escaped war and torture but now we feel unsafe in Britain
Special report: Amid protests and rising aggression towards asylum seekers across the country, we spoke to those being targeted

Let's be clear: The flood of hatred sloshing across Britain right now is 100% a product of the political and media elite scapegoating minorities for the harms that those elites have visited upon the country.
Tonight, my 77-year-old mother ripped this flag off a dual carriageway bridge near Birmingham. Note the swastika. My dad's dad died fighting the Nazis.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.
Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.
There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

Good on the Mirror for having the bravery to strike out against this bullshit
🚨An important reminder of the trauma faced by asylum seekers.
Not just in fleeing persecution abroad.
Not just in the perilous and desperate journey to these shores.
But by the hatred and vitriol put on them by the right wing in this country for callous political gain.

I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.
Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.
BIG crowd of people shouting at police.
"Fuck you!"
"What is wrong with you!"
"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

The older one gets, the more one comes to realise that the “grown ups” you always assumed were running things and basically knew what they were doing are really just winging it, and are often either utterly clueless or lacking in any real power to do what they’re expected to do.
