Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen. Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

As things stand, Brenda Andrew will be killed by the government because of how she dressed, whom she slept with, and slut-shaming rumors about her. I signed an amicus brief arguing that her trial was unconstitutionally discriminatory because of the gross sex stereotyping present at her trial.

The richest man on earth owns X. The family of the second-richest man owns Paramount, which owns US TV network CBS, and could soon own Warner Bros, which owns CNN. The third-richest man owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The fourth-richest man owns the Washington Post and Amazon MGM Studios.

Microecon textbooks begin with people freely making rational choices to satisfy their preferences. But I’m struck how much expansion of global capitalism was in fact driven by trade in stimulants or addictive goods—tea, tobacco, sugar, opium, coffee. Surely someone has written about this?

1. Fenway Health shamefully dropped trans youth to save LGB cisgender people—a calculation based on fear and willingness to become agents of this administration. I issue my call for Fenway to return to its roots and care for those the government casts aside. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Stand Up to Racism’s statement on the horrific antisemitic attack at a Manchester synagogue today

We condemn the horrific antisemitic attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in north Manchester, that killed two people.
This attack is particularly abhorrent as it occurred on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish religious calendar. Antisemitism must be rooted out of society.
Our deepest condolences go to the loved ones of those killed. Our thoughts are also with all those injured and affected by this horrific crime.
It's vital that we promote peace, unity and mutual respect and stand together against hatred and division at this difficult time.
STAND UP TO RACISM

We took a close look at Split Ticket's WAR metric, which has become influential in Democratic circles for suggesting moderates significantly outperform progressives. Our finding: The metric contains systematic biases that overstate the advantage of moderation. A corrected model shows no advantage.🧵

Obviously, since this is in the Economist (which: awesome), I can't say "why won't the media cover this?!" But still not seeing it covered w same urgency as a crime spike. And showing crime is falling IS an urgent issue, given that Trump wants to use fear of crime to justify "unleashing" police.

I don’t understand the politicos of this either—Labour will never manage to be to the right of Reform, so by spreading Reform’s narrative they are buying their own demise.

When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

You need to understand that in 11 days, Trump has advanced anti-transgender policies to near genocidal intensity. Passports have been denied. ID documents confiscated. Banned trans medicine from those <19y. Essentially banned trans people from using bathrooms. This is the beginning of a genocide
