A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault. This has been in the press for 2 days. The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it… And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼‍♀️

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part. Turns out those scenes were almost bang on. The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

You get a lot of people making, fairly spurious, claims about how immigration is a "burden" on infrastructure, new homes etc. What those arguments always overlook, among other things, is that without migrants nobody has any infrastructure, new homes etc. #r4today www.bbc.com/news/article...

Stodgy dullwit, David Frost, tells business owners that their struggles with the latest Brexit-red-tape-shitshow are the EU’s fault (rather than the woeful mess he cooked up with Johnson to get him into power). He just lies to their faces, saying this is why we left. New level of loathing unlocked.
Screenshot from Politics Live:

Frost on the left saying “remember that these rules are brought on by the European Union” while two business owners listen (in despair)
