There's something extremely galling about being told that a minority group you belong to is "enabling fascism" for not voting for a candidate which hates that group, particularly when the lecturing is coming from someone who won't be affected by said fascism

1. "These women are insufficiently worried that federal agents may hurt them," is a revealing complaint.

2. Every woman I know is like a fucking deep space probe with senses ceaselessly attuned to detecting potential male violence.

3. Your lads stormed Congress confident no one would hurt them.

News that Labour is abandoning mandatory digital IDs is Classic Starmer. He could have sold the plans as administrative convenience but no, he went straight for the authoritarian dopamine hit of “At last! Papers please!!!” and has had to water it down.

Is there actually an evidence base for banning social media for under 16s, or is this a case of “something must be done, this is something”?

If the answer to Starmer is Streeting you’re asking a pretty stupid question.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Truly remarkable.

Well, yes, people are fixating on it because your boss announced that the US was running Venezuela despite their presidential line of succession having activated and the state still apparently functioning…
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?

MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

From the US to Europe, the center-right didn’t just lose to the populist right. It tried to compete by moving in that direction — and ended up strengthening its rival. Read more: bloom.bg/493f1ej

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.

We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Reminder: The US has refused to join the International Criminal Court because it argues extraterritorial justice is incompatible with national sovereignty and citizen's rights.
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."
