Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1966...

It seems Britain can’t build. Not houses or hospitals or roads or trains or pylons or reactors or reservoirs or runways or data centres or film studios or factories. But how on earth did we get here?

Shambolic. If teachers can use AI to mark, why can’t students use AI to write? And here we go: students not doing the work and teachers not doing the marking. Why don’t students not bother to go to school and teachers can stay at home? How about we all don’t get out of bed in the morning?????

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Hugely enjoying Sam Coates pretending that no government has ever gone back on a budget decision that has proved unpopular and this is the most monumental political story ever. It actually took Baroness Warsi, the Tory panellist, to say "oh come on, remember the omnishambles budget?" So fkn poor.

Accords with my experience as well. A big part of why I spend less and less time on X is the sense of “well, what’s the point? I rarely see links to pieces and I rarely get feedback on my own”.

Trigger warning: gun shots An officer in LA aims and shoots rubber bullets at an Australian journalist doing nothing but covering the police assault on protesters. When is Congress going to stop this federal overreaction? Call/email your Rep & Senators to demand action. youtube.com/shorts/-DYyo...

She is a tourist from Chile, and these cops left her teenage daughter on the streets of New York City alone. Why anybody would come to this country right now blows my mind.
