This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

As we hear about yet another mass shooting in the US, it's worth remembering that I described the UK ban on handguns as "ludicrous" and said our gun laws were "repressive".

Fraser Nelson is the latest Farage apologist to dismiss the racism allegations against him, saying that there's never been any evidence of him ever being racist as an adult.

Just completely untrue. There is extensive undeniable evidence of it www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...
Nigel Farage Is a Racist
The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

For more than a decade, Donald Trump has survived gaffes, controversies, and scandals that would blow away any other politician.
But political gravity does still exist—and it's coming for the president and the GOP.
Maybe Donald Trump isn't immune to political gravity after all
MAGA and the GOP could only avoid it for so long.

Trump is causing mass confusion right now amid an active shooter situation at Brown University. Trump posted that the suspect was in custody, but Brown University and media reports say that is not true and that the situation remains active.

The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.

Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.
Here's Sandra Day O'Connor endorsing News Max levels of voter fraud conspiracies in the 2000 election.

What you see is a motanka – a traditional Ukrainian protective doll.

Made by winding fabric, not sewing.

It has no face – to avoid giving it an identity or inviting a soul.
Instead, a sun cross marks balance and protection.

Maybe your culture has something similar?

NEW POLL: Trump at an all-time low on the economy.

Instead of waking up and doing the right thing for Americans, he’s bellyaching about why we aren’t grateful for the stock market that we’ve watched him manipulate for his rich buddies with his on-and-off tariffs.

The disconnect in one graphic.
