At a press conference on Thursday, the head of UK Counter Terrorism Policing, Laurence Taylor, said the threat from extreme-right wing terrorism was rising and had been a key driver of the decision to raise the national terror threat level from substantial to “severe” in May

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space. And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

I represented a Client charged with obstruction for filming a cop who pulled a gun on him for driving whilst Black. The state's attorney argued that Client was trying to entrap the cop by goading cop into shooting him for a payday for his family. So no, "just follow the law" is bullshit.

I represented a client charged with obstruction for not exiting a vehicle. Client was deaf and therefore didn't hear the command. State's attorney argued that Client chose not to get a cochlear implant so Client planned to obstruct cops.

I represented a client who was charged with obstruction for, this is true, not letting a cop sexually assault her. Client said "no" when propositioned, cop grabbed her genitals, she said "no" again, and the state's attorney charged her with obstruction.

Let's talk about the "you should have just obeyed the law" response to police violence. A study several years ago found that police are the sixth leading cause of death for Black men in the United States. But it is, if you can imagine, worse than that.

You'd think they'd want to discuss how it won as many awards as The Matrix, ET, Fellowship of the Ring, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Parasite... How it has the most wins of any Vampire movie ever... How its success further cements that Coogler's deal could be Hollywood's future. But alas. It's Black.

Remember that in the UK, in space year 2026, it is *still* illegal to rip a CD you bought with your own money to play the resulting MP3s (or whatever) on your computer. That is not considered fair use. But AI companies eating all of our creative work for free soon will be. Fuck off, Labour.

The US was fascist since its founding. If public concern is lacking, it may be because people have noted how often public concern didn't matter to the people who have power in the past (see: public concern about AI, rifles, etc.)

The Green Party has 200,000 members but fewer than Reform, which has 270,000. Wrong. Reform is a limited company entirely owned by Nigel Farage. So it only has 1 member. The other 269,999 are just a mailing list. Unlike Green Party members, they do not elect leaders or determine policy.

Reform repeatedly invokes “women and girls” when it wants a wedge on migration [or trans people], with Nigel Farage framing women’s safety against human rights protections in a way that casts migrants as the threat while sidestepping the policies that actually keep women safe.
open.substack.com
Reform UK is a threat to women's rights.
Behind the slogans lies a programme that weakens women’s rights while shielding powerful men.

It's so funny to stick with 'family voting' in light of the actual results because it means you need to convince yourself that over 10% of the entire electorate are Muslim housewives who have been forced by their, presumably socially conservative, husbands to vote for the most left wing party

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis. Hmmmmmm.

Hello BBC Political Editor Chris Mason, the dogwhistle of family voting will only become "part of the conversation" if the media make it "part of the conversation", which you are doing, so maybe back off the passive voice and own it?
A clip from the BBC News opinion piece on the byelection result:

"A final thought that will be part of the conversation in the hours and days after this by election – the suggestion of significant "family voting" as it is known.

The group Democracy Volunteers reported what it called "concerningly high levels of family voting in Gorton and Denton" - which it defines as "where two voters either confer, collude or direct each other on voting".

Manchester City Council insisted "no such issues" were reported by its staff at polling stations.

Labour Party Chair Anna Turley told the BBC the reports were "obviously extremely worrying and concerning" and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage claimed the by-election was "a victory for sectarian voting and cheating"."

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏
