Can’t make this up.

A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads:
"Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education."

Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

As the person who accidentally began this Yuletide event, it falls to me to give it some kind of shape. Clearly anyone can use hashtags whenever and wherever they like, but given that we've got presents to panic buy and wrap, I usually say "let's get going at 7.30pm?" 3/

Baffling that GW’s chosen line of defence is that only privileged, famous women are complaining, while unknown women with zero power on the set of a major TV show helmed by the celebrity who partially determined their fate as contestants, said nothing. Kind of trodden on your own point there, Gregg?

I loathe a political culture that removes a passionate and effective minister over a decade-old minor offence that has zero bearing on her ability to do the job. A mixture of cowardice, malice and triviality.
