Never has the phrase “history repeats, the first time as tragedy the second time as farce” felt so apt.
"“The word ‘woke’ now performs the job that ‘communism’ did in the 1950s."
Over the last 10 months, the federal government has cracked down on political expression with a persistence and viciousness reminiscent of some of the darkest periods of U.S. history. Welcome to the Third Red Scare.

People should be allowed to protest safely, but it's important to point out the area they were in is a large basketball court of the sort you see in playgrounds up and down the country. The other options were block the turnstiles or mash both sets of protestors together. What could they do?

It’s genuinely incredible to see politician, media figures and activists utterly humiliating themselves in front of a public who well understand what football hooligans are, how football matches are policed and how the press has always talked about football fans.

I love how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy in charge of our national well-being, runs away like a cartoon character the moment somebody needs medical help. The other Trump gargoyles at least attempt to look concerned. Kennedy sprints off camera.

The UK Labour Party defines itself as a "democratic socialist" part in the first sentence of Clause IV. And has since the 1990s.
That's how woeful the BBC claiming it's a term with no definition is. Good grief.

I don't know what is more depressing. That the BBC seems to have no clue what democratic socialism is or that someone who comments on politics for a living thinks it's the same as communism.
Jesus wept, indeed. GCSE, Introduction to Politics, Chapter 1, stuff.
