Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

I wanted to know more about the r****t on the LSU football team so I googled “LSU r****t” and… That whole school should be razed to the ground and every administrator, athlete, and frat boy should be put in prison.

Labour's strategy was one of compromise on culture-war issues to pull votes from Reform (the U.K.'s main fascist party).
This was personified by the former chief of staff to the prime minister, Morgan McSweeny, who was generally thought to have dictated strategy during the Starmer years. The party should, he argued, focus on "hero voters"-white, working-class, social conservatives in "red wall" (think Rust Belt as an inexact analogy) areas of the country.
So far, they have attracted O percent of those voters (yes, zero, that's the actual statistic). Meanwhile their share of gay and bisexual voters has plunged from 42 percent last election (itself arguably an underperformance) to 18 percent following their "moderation" on trans rights. There isn't data specifically for trans people, but I assume it's even worse.
Not the only reason for Starmer's apocalyptic unpopularity, but a clear contributing factor. So it doesn't even work politically.

This is you right now.
TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1:
A woman and a man sit on a low stone wall in a park. The woman is upset; the man listens.

WOMAN: And now the Democrat in the race is backing some anti-trans laws! I’m not sure I can vote for that.

MAN (thinking): Uh-oh. Democrats need every vote. How can I convince her to vote for the Democrat anyway?

Panel 2:
The woman and man walk through the park, the woman ahead of him.

WOMAN: Of course, the Republican is even worse. But if Democrats turn against trans people… I’m so frightened.

MAN (thinking): I’ve got to be empathetic and persuasive.

Panel 3:
Close-up of the man, looking thoughtful with his hand on his chin.

WOMAN (off-panel): Look at what happened to the UK — they’ve now got two anti-trans parties. If we let that happen here, trans rights are dead.

MAN (thinking): Okay, I think I know how to reassure her and get her vote.

Panel 4:
The man is suddenly furious, leaning toward the startled woman and pointing at her.

MAN: You’re a Trump supporting moron and you deserve to die!

I bring up Democrats because they are going to ride anger like mine into victory in November but they have shown so little willingness to actively confront the full Republican party like they will need to if we have any chance of fixing these problems. They are often too busy hugging our abusers.

“Germany runs trade surpluses and retains large-scale manufacturing employment to an extent that lies far beyond the wildest dreams of Trumponomics. And none of this appears to make a bit of difference to the resentment that underlies right-wing extremism on both sides of the Atlantic.”

This is also why far-right parties (e.g. Germany's AfD) are gaining so much power. There is a political consensus among many nation's elites that the important part of the climate crisis that needs solving is pending human migration, and that it should be solved with eliminationism.
