If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

I would beg you to read the whole thread, as I think very few people have seen how fast the foundations of democracy are being torn out in the UK, and how far down the road towards authoritarianism we have already travelled. Sorry to pester you, but this could not be more important. Thanks.

The very concept of allowing the federal government to gather evidence is preposterous. There are no such ideas as widespread voter fraud. Individual states are required by the constitution to hold the federal elections as they see fit. #USDemocracy

Ken Paxton’s own party impeached him. His own staff reported him to the FBI. Now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign. Those closest to Ken Paxton know he's unfit for office.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

It's pretty disgraceful that there has been absolutely no mention of this from the Prime Minister. It's increasingly clear that some attacks, correctly, warrant disgust, emergency measures and days of media coverage. Others seem to be met with silence.

1/2 The Spectator has long given intellectual cover to the far right more or less subtly, but publishing this, with its explicit promotion of demographic replacement, white nationalist and remigration ideas, puts this once venerable magazine firmly in the extremist, fascistic camp.
