It’s crazy how our expectations have evaporated over the last few years. We used to see something like this as a crisis that would require international action. Create a humanitarian corridor. Negotiate a temporary ceasefire to evacuate non-combatants. All that’s over now. Cruelty reigns.

I definitely think it possible Trump would be so shameless as to appoint Aileen Cannon. Which makes the current timing of the hearing on lawsuit to liberate the stolen documents report, November 2, of interest.

I sometimes think Suella's real definition of Englishness is... White, English-speaking people with English-sounding names, and that she and other headbangers are just trying to put some kind of rules & genetic science around it. But it doesn't work. And it remains blatant racism.

Just one of many problems with Braverman's definition of 'pureblood' Englishness (all-English parents/grandparents) is it excludes millions of white, English-speaking people with English-sounding names, who she/everyone would just assume are 'English'. #MudbloodsAreUs
