Saw Ginger Root live earlier this week and they were amazing!

Their music and video work are one of my favourite things right now and the new film is such a nice wrapup to the Juban TV arc. youtu.be/HsG5V_Motbs?...

The anger with Biden Democrats should be incandescent now. Pardoning Hunter just further multiplies the amount of work future democrats need to do to win trust back. Instead of the bridge to the future Biden pitched themselves as they're actually the one who's blown it up.

I get the idea of going where the audience is to try and change minds, but Starmer's article in the mail today achieved nothing but adding fuel to the right wing benefits scrounger narrative, and further convincing progressives that this government isn't going do deliver the change that's needed

My heart goes out to the brave, betrayed people of Ukraine. And to the women and minorities in the US whose lives will be destroyed by this.

I feel like 2016 -> 2020 -> 2024 is a weirdly similar arc to the UK's 2016 -> 2017 -> 2019 votes.

This is a reminder to myself that self-love is not a luxury or a privilege, but a strategic survival tactic that I must choose over and over again. If you’re trans and queer and a person of color you have to live and you have to love

Immigrants are 80% more likely to start a business than U.S.-born citizens.

They're not “taking jobs.”

They're creating them.

The 50 biggest donors this election cycle have collectively donated over $2.5 billion.

The vast majority of donations have gone to super PACs, which can accept unlimited sums of money.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Musk, introduced to the stage by some frothing weirdo as 'the greatest capitalist on earth' has committed to 'Rip Out' $2tn dollars from the US budget if/when appointed the government head of efficiency in a Trump white house.

So in response to a police officer NOT being found guilty, the police are arguing to reduce the ability to investigate officers and, crucially, apply this to ALL force.

I'm honestly curious as to how effective the perceptual distortion argument is in court if you're not able to tell a jury that your defendant is a nice middle class, well read, finance chap turned police officer...

Watch this clip and tell me Trump doesn't look honestly a bit disgruntled when they say this:

"They have Trump stores all over the place.
I get nothing out of it..
You know what I get?
The presidency out of it, that's all I get... anyway.."

On Farage: “This notion that, by declaring something, the conflict of interest goes away is a nonsense. The system of declarations is not there to resolve conflicts but to identify them. It doesn’t matter if there’s no actual impropriety. There has to be the appearance of absolutely no impropriety.”

Just saw Marr's weird interview with Bannon on LBC yesterday.

These far right extremists want NOTHING MORE than to appear in mainstream forums and appear as reasonable as possible. That is the gateway for their support.

Marr gave Bannon and Trump a massive gift with that bizzare soft 'interview'

The scandal of the settlement scheme for EU citizens. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. It's easy to be outraged by the PO scandal now, but what about the currently emerging Brexit scandal of EUSS? And what are the wider implications for Brexit? chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-...
