This is how Claremont / Federalist / Heritage all work: - penetrate the judicial system first - promote antagonism until a lawsuit is spawned - pervert precedent setting decisions - predictable DARVO all the time. - promulgate hate

It is absolutely intolerable that the Labour Government has another committed transphobe as their preferred candidate as new head of the EHRC. I rather doubt that the Women's and Equalities Committee has even been consulted.

The fact of the matter is, no politician anymore is prepared to say Wales & Britain is the great country that it is because of centuries of immigration... we should be proud of it" #r4today

The consequences that befall Musk now that he's attacked Trump publicly will be a measure of how well the US fits the competitive authoritarian model. The more severe, the better the fit. I despise Musk, but for the sake of US democracy, I hope his punishment doesn't violate the rule of law.

Things about politics I’ve come to believe strongly: 1. Less bad is better than more bad 2. Nostalgia is generally incorrect. Things weren’t better 3. Still, things can get much worse 4. Democracy is an outlier in human political history 5. Optimism is rooted in agency, not positive predictions

The Tory and Labour Govt have really saddled us with a post Brexit deregulation nightmare in Freeports, SEZs. It's very corrupt. Big companies and Private Equity investing in these areas only means benefits for them only. Because these Freeports are all about deregulation and lowering of standards.

"we'll wait for the next election" a good majority of dictators were elected and then they didn't go away, dictatorships tend to last decades, the Trump regime is just starting. Not surrounding DC will cost you the future.
