Ps always totally appreciate when people are burned out by Labour but the Green Party is a completely different party. We have a very democratic structure: decisions and policies engage the membership through grassroots democracy. A totally different experience to the top down approach of others.

Whole podcast about this kind of question here - novaramedia.com/2025/02/21/t... TLDR: The Green Party is already an umbrella (all parties are!) But with 60,000 members, 4 MPs, 3 Assembly Members & over 800 councillors - it's best place for environmental, social, racial & economic justice to grow.

The origin story of Bari Weiss and The Free Press is that they were fighting for free speech, but the real origin story is that as a student she tried to get Middle Eastern professors fired. They are a snitch organization for the Trump regime.

I guess my point is that there is a vast gulf between someone saying 1) I wanted Trump to hurt other groups but he also harmed my own group 2) I now pay more for medicine and I don’t know how I’m going to make ends meet One requires a follow up question, the other requires basic fuckin empathy

I’m pretty sure the guy was *not* a Trump voter but even if he was, this is about insulin, not a yacht. When someone can’t get medicine, regardless of who they voted for, the correct response isn’t fafo, it’s “I am outraged with you, did you hear about what’s happening to ___? That’s messed up too!”

Flocks of twisted young women packed a Manhattan court Friday for a chance to see alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione - with some donning the same maroon color he wore when he was arraigned on murder charges in the disturbing case. Dozens of depraved devotees braved the freezing temperatures in line to get access to the court in Lower Manhattan - several hours before the 26-year-old alleged killer was slated to appear Friday afternoon. Roughly 75 members of the public mostly women also crowded the hallway outside where Mangione's case

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

The image displays a menu of healthcare services on a blue background. The title "Services" is at the top, followed by a list of offerings, including:

Primary Care

HIV/STI Prevention & Care

Behavioral Health

Dental Health

SMART Immediate Care

Telehealth

Accepted Insurance

Insurance Navigation

Legal Services

Community Resources

Below the list, there are three buttons labeled:

"Become a Patient"

"Pharmacy"

"Patient Portal"

The design appears to be from a healthcare provider's website or digital platform, offering medical and support services to patients.

Mom, come pick me up, they're coming up with the silliest possible version of the Great Man Theory of History

Nate Silver shares a screenshot of someone saying

As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110. There's zero evidence in his biography of anything higher

And I want to repeat that now lest you think it a typo

There's zero evidence, from his life history, of musk having anything higher than 110 IQ

Nate Silver responds:

He's an exceptionally smart and accomplished guy. The much better take is that high IQs serve as a force multiplier for both positive and negative traits.

Like how can you be a remotely competent historian without recognizing that major events in human history are shaped by high IQ, high-agency people who are bad and/or flawed and/or dangerous.

Judge decides to keep Mangione shackled on his arms and legs "for security reasons" and says he will remain that way unless he has to sign something. Agnifilo argues against this decision: He is a model prisoner, there is no reason for him to be this way. Not happening.

🚨Holy shit. Trump has just launched a scathing attack on Zelenskyy. He’s actually called him a dictator. There can be no doubt: the President of the United States is now a Kremlin asset.

The post by Trump on Truth Social reads:

Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn't be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and "TRUMP," will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn't Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is "MISSING." He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden "like a fiddle." A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only
"TRUMP," and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the "gravy train" going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died - And so it continues.....
