Xavier Becerra put the Steve Hilton contradiction right on the debate stage: enforce Trump’s federal immigration laws, but ignore California’s own protections? Then he dropped the hammer: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me.”

I'm delighted to learn this, not least because the next item on my task list, which is to take my pet geese to see a well-known play by Samuel Beckett, is also a palindrome: "TO DO: Geese see Godot".

I am made FURIOUS by the needless pain they’re made to suffer. Queer kids exist, I was one. I knew from very young. Trans kids exist, listen to them. The relentless cruelty of JK Rowling and her ilk are torturing these kids. So no, I will not shut up.

It's OK for criminal ex-neo Nazis to run your bins is a hell of a line.
Tweet from x.com by Kevin Schofield of HuffPost:

NEW: Kemi Badenoch says what former neo-Nazi Joshua Bonehill-Paine did was "appalling and abhorrent", suggests she wouldn't want him to be a Tory MP, but says it's OK for him to be a councillor because they only deal with things like "parking and putting out bins".

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

We’ve got this all wrong. This is clearly an adaptation of the Shamen’s seminal house music ode to the drug ecstasy “Ebenezer Goode”. “E’s are good/E’s are good/whoa oh oh/He’s Ebenezer Goode!” It’s just 2 hours of Depo dancing like Bez. For which he will be paid 65 million dollars.

It’s also just a basic point about decency. Either calls for murdering minorities are a dealbreaker for you in using someone’s product or they aren’t. For Labour (and the Conservatives, and the Lib Dems, and Greens) they should be.

UK’s museums and galleries left vulnerable to cyber-attack and theft, MPs warn
Report by Commons committee says government has failed to make concrete changes after recent security failures Britain’s museums and galleries are being left vulnerable to thefts and cyber-attacks that could put priceless collections at risk, MPs have warned. A report by the public accounts committee (PAC) said big security failures in recent years, including the theft of thousands of artefacts from the British Museum and a devastating cyber-attack on the British Library, had exposed serious weaknesses across the sector, but that the government had failed to take a strategic approach to preventing similar incidents.

Whenever I hear someone claiming that USAID was evil from a leftist perspective, I hear someone saying “yes, millions ARE dying because Musk and Trump killed USAID, but at least they’ll die free of American imperialism.” Notably it is never the people saying this who are dying.

these are all actual headlines from the washington post. you can literally track the rightwing ideological shift over time towards supporting billionaires & transphobia.
headlines from the washington post in sequential order after they were purchased by jeff bezos. the image next to every successively worse headline is bezos getting more excited & visibly evil.

Headlines:

Washington Post to be sold to Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon

Opinion: Think twice before changing the tax rules to soak billionaires

Opinion: The smartest way to make the rich pay is not a wealth tax
It's important to ask the wealthy to pay more. It's also important to do it the right way.

Opinion: The billionaires' space race benefits the rest of us. Really.

The Washington post
Democracy Dies in Darkness
Yes, there is such a thing as too much democracy

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.
