All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.
It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

This is also why universal basic income is such a good idea. Not only would it save money on the high costs of poverty, but it would grow GDP and reduce the costs of healthcare by reducing stress and improving physical and mental health.
To recap:
•Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually
•Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses
•The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45%

By investigating Mark Kelly, they guarantee that his words are elevated, to be seen and heard by all.
A lot of disinformation is circulating about what Senators/Representatives Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan actually said. Here is the transcript. It contains no accusation that the President issued unlawful orders, no call to disobey lawful orders, and no advocacy of mutiny.

Re-upping this. Trying to explain rights to the median Brit is like trying to explain feminism to someone from the 16th century. The fundamental building blocks and frame of reference just aren't there
We are just, in many ways, a people that the 20th century didn’t happen to. We‘ve never really slid into overt tyranny, we haven’t faced a mainland invasion for over two centuries, and there hasn’t been a successful one for over three. There has been little soil for respect for rights to grow

Up to 507 people were massacred in My Lai.
The soldiers said they were just following orders.
They were unlawful orders.
Their excuse didn’t work.

I finished building my first squad of Sororitas this evening, and boy howdy are they more fiddly than the 5th edition era Firewarriors I built last year. The 'single foot on base' poses were especially nightmare-ish. The price to pay for 40k gothic aura I guess 😅

very irritating whenever anyone acts like a relative handful of incel nazi internet dwellers are representative of an entire generation. in reality when that generation see a more left-wing option on offer they flock to it
The Greens are winning the support of around half of 18 to 24 year olds.
Reform are on 5%. So much for young people's turn to the right!
And the Young Greens now have 40,000 members - the biggest youth and students wing in British politics

This is also why universal basic income would do so much for educational outcomes. Not only via kids no longer being hungry at school, but also by kids coming home to less stressed out parents who can spend more time with them and help with their studying at home.
I don't know about you, but it's damn near impossible for me, an adult, to focus when I'm hungry and I can't imagine how difficult it is for a child to learn under those same conditions
School lunches get a bad rap, but they're healthier than the average packed lunch. And making them free for all amplifies academic and health benefits for low-income kids by removing stigma/shame.
So I'm glad Colorado voted to raise taxes on high-income households to make school meals free for all.

Just for context, it was an international scandal when YouTube erased documentation of Syrian government war crimes. Now it's just the Intercept and tech outlets who care.

been having a chuckle about this. looking on that subreddit, the mods are constantly running searches for and deleting posts that mention mamdani. the posters have been saying things like "the frontrunner for mayor" and so on to evade getting banned lol
The Reddit community r/Democrats has a conspicuous absence of any news about Zohran Mamdani today. But that's by design.
The moderators have rules that ban people from talking about democratic socialists.

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too.
