Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things.

When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

Today, the first in a series of four Reith Lectures was broadcast on BBC radio. Dutch author Rutger Bregman heard that one sentence had disappeared from his lecture and responded to this censorship.

He posted: “I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith […]

Groupthink in science isn’t a problem; it’s a myth

Scientists get accused of groupthink all the time, and of being unnecessarily resistant to new ideas.

But that's a myth.

The real problem is just how successful our current theories are.

Groupthink in science isn't a problem; it's a myth
Scientists are notoriously resistant to new ideas. Are they falling prey to groupthink? Or are our current theories just that successful?

The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE.

They filed no charges.

He's a US citizen, and his family didn't know where he was.

All those craven comedians who are still not speaking up, better start railing.

They are coming for all of us.

What the fascists really hate about the No Kings rallies is that you will meet other people who love democracy too and realize that you are not alone and be less afraid of them.

Authoritarians thrive on fear and keeping people feeling scared and alone.

Let’s all have a fun and peaceful time today.

9th Circuit just made anti-SLAPP laws (like the good ones in California and Nevada) a lot less effective. This is going to lead to a ton of suppressed speech. Stupid and dangerous. Especially now.

We need a federal anti-SLAPP law now. And we won't get one.

So Kash Patel fires an FBI agent trainee with an outstanding service record in non-agent positions while he's mid-course at Quantico for the alleged "offense" of having a rainbow flag on his desk.

Anyone notice that Republicans no longer complain about "Cancel Culture" any more???
