Looks like the administration needs a big distraction. I can’t « cough, Epstein, cough » imagine why. Anyway, pandering to their racist base, and once again “owning the libs” by making hate okay.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
But don’t call Republicans Nazis and white nationalists

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Australians have adopted solar (30% or more) to the point that starting next year, they're going to provide everyone free power for three hours a day during peak solar production times, i.e. the middle of the day. Solar installation costs a third of the price as the US.

No money for health care, or to feed hungry kids, but we can pay people to hunt immigrants. JFC.
I see the Trump regime has found inspiration in Ceaucescu's Securitate
New from 404 Media: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. Spoke to people briefed on plans. This isn't licensed PIs/bounty hunters. These are just former police/military; members of public

Same thing in the US. We have even fewer services to begin with, and they’re being gutted, the tax burden is shifting away from the wealthy, people are struggling. The Democrats, with very few exceptions, are complicit. In the mean time armed thugs are paid to round up immigrants. Call it what it is
Fifteen years of ideological choices to strangle & gut the public realm - NHS to schools to social services to local museums - is what underlies the anger "tearing our country apart"; immigration is simply the scapegoat that the far right are pushing people toward.
Why can't Labour just say this?

Anyone else concerned that the Speaker of the House has no clue about what's happening in the USA?
Unbelievable.
As in, literally, not credible.

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

The hotel clerk was just telling me that NASA is about to release video that proves there’s an alien mothership hiding behind the sun, sucking up its energy while releasing smaller ships to do planetary flyovers, and this is why my flight is cancelled. That and the government shutdown. 🤪

NEW from me:
Political hostility, high visa fees and (in the case of the UK) stagnant incomes are making the UK and US less attractive destinations for top international talent.
That steep decline in the appeal of moving to the US after 2016 is 👀
