This is so good. We should do this.
Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.
History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

I hope the book will soon be available in (affordable) paperback, so that its readership will not be limited to (senior) scholars and university library users.

Perhaps Putin can pop over to the USA a de-nazify them.
My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.
I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Such a great description of Musk: a jumped up railroad baron with a Twitter addiction. Splendid.
Serious question: At what point does "disruptor" simply mean "unaccountable despot" with better branding? Musk is no Prometheus bringing fire to mankind—he’s a jumped-up railroad baron with a Twitter addiction, setting the rules for his own empire while sycophants mistake caprice for genius.
Elon Musk's SpaceX wants to launch 25 Starship rockets this year. The last one exploded, sending debris raining down on the islands of Turks & Caicos. He now has power over the federal agency that licenses launches. @propublica.org @heathervogell.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/elon...

Braverman’s discourse is poisonous.
Braverman should be driven out of public life for saying something as bigoted, conspiratorial, ridiculous, and dumb as this but she won’t be, of course, because anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamophobic fearmongering has been normalized in British public life.

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has told a delegation in Washington that Britain could become the first Islamist nation in possession of nuclear weapons.

Reeves seems averse this. She shouldn’t be.
A tiny 2% wealth tax, on 20k people would raise £24 billion per year to spend on the things that urgently need fixing in our country.
We need some tax justice - the more money you have the less tax you pay and vice versa - that’s absurd.

A good point. Shows how brittle they are.
One bishop, in one church, literally just asked the president to be nice and him and everyone in his circle been melting down for a week.
