Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that if it isn't "illegal" for MAGA to boycott Bud Light, Target, Starbucks and more because of the 1st Amendment, it sure as hell ain't illegal for us to boycott Elon's shitty Tesla. FUCK ELON. BOYCOTT TESLA!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social US. Peter Hegseth was barred from serving on duty at the inauguration of Joe Biden after a guardsman flagged Hegseth as an "insider threat", noting a tattoo on his bicep of the words Deus vult. Which is alt-right white supremacist groups slogan.

Denmark has a new king, the King and Queen get approximately $500,000 from the Danish Government a year, and the whole family is worth $40m. In the UK King Charles gets $150,000,000 a year and his family is worth $25bn. We need to be more like Denmark.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation… The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

Louise Haigh resigns as UK transport secretary and Trump is President-elect. Baffling.

submitted 103 days ago • 1 comment

Good grief. Louise Haigh has resigned. Admirable in many ways but unnecessary and a waste of a huge political talent.

submitted 103 days ago • 9 comments

Louise Haigh resigned as U.K. transport secretary and the Tories seized the moment to attack Labour with this statement: “Louise Haigh has done the right thing in resigning. It is clear she has failed to behave to the standards expected of an MP." Yup, after all of 👇 that was the Tory statement.

If only Louise Haigh had repeatedly kicked her partner… Or been arrested for numerous sexual assault charges Or been found to have frequently bullied her staff Then maybe she’d still be in her position.

This is incredible. Asked about the fact that private school kids get extra exam time at a rate 16% higher than state schools, Therese Coffey's response is: "It's not gaming the system. There's an opportunity there... You don't ask, you don't get." I had to watch this several times, agog. ~AA

Kemi Badenoch calls on Keir Starmer to resign because of an online petition. Starmer: "We had a massive petition on the Fourth of July in this country. "We spent years taking our party from a party of protest to a party of government. They're hurtling in the opposite direction."

Kemi Badenoch calling on Keir Starmer to resign and hold an election after just four months in office, after her own party just suffered its worst election defeat in history, feels incredibly desperate

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”
