The threat to shut X in the UK is a threat to the whole far right ecosystem.
They're going to throw everything at stopping it because they know it would cause them almost irreparable damage.
That's not the case for more moderate voices on left and right who have choices..

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs.
That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK.
As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

And I wonder if this cycle then becomes BOTH the result AND the source of the politics we see. If progressive or left-leaning voters make ourselves, essentially, impossible to please and very easy to lose forever, doesn't that make it rational for parties to compete for right wing votes? 6/6

Am absolutely not defending their call for violence. But Bob Vylan was speaking in a field in Somerset - and every day the IDF actually murders innocent Palestinians. Only one of those actions is a proper target for real outrage.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

if you're going to get upset by rhetoric, make sure you actually know what he said rather than reacting to a reductive or selective quotation made for political purposes on social media.
