My favorite thing was when the sister and brother asked them to define communism but then both of them also didn’t know what it was and didn’t bother to do any research before the show
On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

Agree with every word of this
We've gone from 9% of social care staff coming from outside the UK and EEA in 2021/22 to almost 25% in 2024/25
The govt has no near-term replacement
It means either:
1) staffing shortages or
2) councils spending far more to attract staff, with no extra funding

Every media conglomerate should be reporting daily in a segment titled “Our national embarrassment” with the shit he says/tweets. It would go well toward furthering his low approval rating.

Fascinating and deeply alarming thread. But yeah - AI is shit and we all need to reject it.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Someone is going to be very upset if the No motion is carried. All that arguing and blocking yesterday (and through the night) will have been for nothing
Ok! There are actually people who are going to speak against this motion!

Trump came in running his mouth about the economy and it’s worse under Trump.
He’s made everyone’s lives worse (except for Israel and the 1%) and all he’s done since then is blame democrats for his failures.

The National Guard shooting was inevitable.
Military presence with guns deployed to intimidate the civilians they were sworn to protect.
Inevitable, expected, and intended by Steven Miller et al., who have been waiting eagerly for an excuse to bring the boot down.
Here it comes.

Israel has murdered 223 children in the West Bank since. Oct. 7th.
Now, if anyone murdered 223 Israeli children what would Israel and the U.S. be saying right now?
But when they do it it’s fine, right?
That’s racism.
That’s Jewish supremecy.
That’s Zionism.
That’s conservatism and liberal Zionism.
