Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

I think Rachel Millward is right… without the Green surge this past year Labour would NOT have shifted their stance & we’d still be looking at a Starmer gov failing in its attempt to keep Reform from ousting them at the next GE. Like it or not, you have @zackpolanski.bsky.social to thank for that.

A view of national/ethnic identity predicated on intra-group unity and intergroup incommensurability is literally and inherently racist. It is also a pervasive outlook with a long history, which means that many people have internalised it. Including those it most harms.

If GB News were a normal commercial venture, like Talk TV, it would have been binned long ago. Since September 2020, it has spewed out hateful far-right propaganda, paying high salaries to people such as Nigel Farage. Ofcom has abjectly failed to address this threat to democracy.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

28. But, as MS Now reported, "Trump appointees have engaged in a highly unusual practice of sharing a broad swath of sensitive material, in this case from the special counsel’s investigation, as Republicans scour files for evidence that Smith and his staff engaged in misconduct."
