New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"
Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

Who amongst us hasn't accidentally sworn loudly during a live broadcast?

At least it isn't just me 😁
We now cross over to BBC Radio Derby.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

How the Media is Trying to Talk a Nigel Farage Government Into Reality
Why for much of the British press, the unlikely story of Reform UK's rise to power is simply "too good to check"

Oh the (lack of) joy of living in a 51-49% world, constantly balancing precariously between liberalism and illiberalism.

One day, hopefully, there will be a decisive shift back towards liberalism. Perhaps.

Jessica: When you actually read the transcript of what Trump is talking about, he said oh, Biden's brain is mush, he has stage nine cancer, which is not real, oh, by the way, I just aced a cognitive test.. and we're supposed to believe he is 6'3" and 224 pounds which makes him an NFL wide receiver

Since Donald Trump is freaking out about Bruce Springsteen calling this the most corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration, it would be a shame if this video was shared even more widely....

Sums up Starmer. For every one GB News viewer who may now think he is not such a shit PM, he will get 100 people who voted for him now say that he is.
C4News, "The Prime Minister Keir Starmer, unusually, chose to take only one broadcaster, GB News"

What word would you use to describe a PM who only takes GB News on a trip to another country?

Stephen Miller serves a deranged authoritarian who thinks he is all powerful and can do whatever he wants. He is wrong. Our job as lawyers is to stand up to him and defeat him in court.

I, for one, will never bow down or seek a deal with Trump. I will stand tall and fight.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

An anniversary worth marking.

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

I know from experience: When we fight, we win. This week, we stopped the GOP from stealing a North Carolina Supreme Court seat.

I’m not sure how Duffy can fix any of the issues with air travel when he’s on Fox 24/7 complaining about it and blaming other people. STFU for 5 minutes and do your job! This isn’t a reality TV show - people’s lives and livelihoods are in the hands of these unqualified dipshits.

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United.

As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy.

We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.

When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.
