A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

Gov. Tim Walz: "Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed early this morning in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination. Our state lost a great leader and I lost the dearest of friends...We must all stand against political violence."

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

If the Starmer government doesn't understand that grovelling towards Trump will just make the UK look ridiculous towards the EU and China without any gains with the US then Labour is going to lose the respect of Right as well as Left wing UK voters too

Watch the Russians and their allies in the Trump administration suddenly decide elections this year in Ukraine are not actually a good thing as they realise that any election where Ukrainians still feel under threat returns Zelensky to power with a massive majority

tfw you get fired not because of publicly expressing your admiration for Mussolini and performing a fascist salute while chanting “Duce Duce” but for posting a pic of your new fake penis
“Lazio fired the far-right sympathiser who handles their eagle mascot on Monday after he posted a series of videos and pictures of his erect penis online.

Falconer Juan Bernabe, who has been present at Lazio home matches with Olympia the eagle since the 2010-11 season, posted the footage on social media after having surgery on Saturday to implant a penile prosthesis to improve his sexual performance.”
