Musk deserves more ire than he's gotten, not less. But there's plenty to go around, and much of it should be directed at the army of sensible, respectable suits who've nodded along while fascists flood the zone with racist bile, eagerly sanitising their talking points for as long as I've been alive.

Of all the chants at the anti-racism protest today, There’s Many Many More of Us Than You was the most fun to sing *and* seemed the most effective at putting the shits up the cunts.

Is Britain fighting in the Iran war, is it? Are British special forces being deployed in a combat role in Ukraine. That would certainly explain why all these people are so extremely antsy, and yet also highly evasive.

Who is signing the drone warrants tonight in the UK?
Who would give the go order to engage Iranian threats?
Who is responsible for SF operations in Ukraine
this evening?
Labour chaos leaving UK rudderless.

On the one hand, Harry Cole is one of our most belligerent and obnoxious bullshit artists. On the other, yes, I can absolutely believe that successive governments have deployed Our Boys in all kinds of highly dubious and legally questionable operations, or that various clowns have been told about it

It’s very buoying to be able to be CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC for the future of progressive politics at the moment. I was told for several years by hands-on-hips Sensible Grownups that I was silly, deluded and ALSO DANGEROUS to still believe in socialism but I guess the left wasn’t dead after all.

One of the most-quoted experts on racism on the left, here. Remember how I said at the time that the great authorities being quoted were themselves far right cranks with pretty horrible views?

Today is my last day at Georgetown. After 18 years of teaching history, and 12 years as a full-time professor in Germany and the U.S., it’s the end of my university career. I will now try to make it as an independent writer and commentator - which is exciting and terrifying. Stick with me, please!

The thing is, he will deny the supreme court’s ruling & there will be an outcry, but in time that will subside & he’ll have more power. This is how a far right power grab works. The only thing that will stop this man i fear is a better aimed bullet than the guy who tried last time.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

All this talk of a weak Premier League … a fundamental reason why Arsenal are so far behind Liverpool is because they’ve only won 18 of 34 games this season. 16 times, therefore, their opponents have been a match for them, or better. Which, I’d suggest, is an indication of a strong Premier League.

Starmer is absolutely appalling in front of the camera. Thin skinned, an obvious liar, forgetting what he said last week and quick to anger. If he thinks Labour is tanking now, just see what two weeks of Sir Keir on TV does to the polling.

These people simply don’t understand that the reason they get grief from the left on Twitter & now Bluesky is’t cos these platforms are full of unreasonably trolls. On the contrary it’s ordinary people making perfectly fair points but these MPs think it’s unfair that they should ever be challenged.

The replies to this are all Reform voters who think he is a lying joke and people desperate to avoid a Reform government in 2029 who think he is a lying danger. Writing an anti-immigrant oped for the Daily Mail isn't winning anybody over.
Starmer article in the Daily Mail with the headline "STARMER: I get it. You are RIGHT to be angry about illegal migration" and Starmer's comment "Illegal migration risks our security I get it you're angry so am I that's why I'm rolling up my sleeves to fix it"

But since we're on the subject: he was warning everyone about this cunt called Putin, a dangerous rightwing authoritarian who is the antithesis of everything he stands for, when Blair was saying Putin was a cool dude. Which really upsets these fanfic creatives for some reason.

About five times a day I come across some post about how Corbyn loves Putin and would have given him everything in 2022 when he invaded Ukraine. NOW, quite apart from ANYTHING else, he was never PM, he hasn't been Labour leader for five years and you sound fucking weird writing fan fiction now.

It's really welcome that some liberals are now realising that Starmerism is a poisonous political project with no moral core. But the left currently identified what this government would be like, so rather than listen to liberals angry they had their wallets inspected, you should listen to us.

A lot of people who voted Labour are constitutionally incapable of admitting they’re wrong because a part of that will involve admitting people they regard as scum were right and crucially smarter than them.
