American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The governor of California already tried to bring Kirk to a mainstream audience a few months ago, he was on the path to being sanewashed anyway. ABC was probably going to put him in charge of the news

The actual issue is that a lot of you mistake being superior , loathsome scolds for empathy
And you’re invested in how we feel about Kirk because it fuels your substacks and discourse of chirping with racists
And managing everyone else has been your political currency rather than actual thought

The reality is many of you are just exposing you’ve always felt more kinship to Kirk than any of the people he targeted and prided yourself on being able to make theater rather than actual safety
And if you actually believed in a discourse and understanding
You’d listen

It's rare in politics that you can see your attempted political strategy being tested in real time by an analogous party in another developed country that shares your language, and yet these idiots can't even bother with addressing why this isn't working for Labour.
it's just a total failure to understand the emotional and social roots of nativism, which cannot be defused with policy compromise

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.
In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.
REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs.

"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now.
This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence.
Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate
