You might ask “where is the British Mamdani” and the brutal truth is that the US press - as bad as it is - gives left wing politicians time and space to talk about their ideas. A British Mamdani gets swiftly kicked to death on camera in an avalanche of all-channels screaming hate.

Tweet from Robert Jeffress: 

I support the Pentagon’s decision to livestream the execution of mass-murderer Nidal Hassan.  

Capital punishment is commanded by God in Genesis 9:6 to remind people of the sanctity of human life. The more people that can see that truth illustrated through a public execution, the better.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.
ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Telling that Wes Streeting considers someone diagnosed with ADHD has been 'written off'. Also telling that the government commissioned a review in the face of independent reviews finding there is no overdiagnosis, just increased awareness & historic underdiagnosis of girls & women.

I notice that everything the press doesn’t like is “social contagion” now, except for the escalating crankery of the press, which is an organisation of a couple of thousand people mostly concentrated in one city, who largely all know each other - one thing that definitely *is* social contagion.

The experience of trans people in Britain is a glaring demonstration that taxonomical debates are never purely and simply that, but stop-gaps on a path to marginalisation and oppression. Anyone entertaining this stage will comply with what follows, so we might as well clarify what that is.

EXCLUSIVE: European countries that impose boycotts on Israel are 'antisemitic' and risk retaliatory sanctions from the United States, a senior Trump administration official has declared.
Speaking in Washington DC, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon criticised countries including the UK, France and Norway over measures targeting goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank.Noa Hoffman @hoffman_noa
X.com
Responding to a question about the US government's position on European West Bank boycotts, Dhillon, who works in the Civil Rights division at the Department of Justice, said:
'What we call this in the United States is the
BDS movement. It is antisemitism. And I think every country that is doing that is going to risk, while President Trump is in power, retaliatory or corresponding sanctions potentially.'
She added: 'I think the President has said words to that effect. In the United States, there was an attempt to start trying to do this at the corporate level as well, and it's quickly been shut down overwhelming opposition from well-meaning people in our country... But I do consider BDS, and I think most people in my government consider it to be a form of antisemitism, and we call it as such.'

We’ve had so many “Any Other Presidency Would Be Ended By This” statements that it feels banal to point out, but suggesting the deaths of millions of people by a foreign power would be a fine cost because they’re politically inconvenient should end a presidency in any functioning democracy.

It is incredibly telling, to me at least, how Cameron and May were more progressive on trans rights, and yet even those areas of recognition are being rolled back/completely destroyed by Labour, yet trans and non-binary individuals are ignored, talked over, and told to shut up and support Labour.
