If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Donald Trump said he might give people $5000 to have a baby. But he forgot to tell you the hospital usually charges you $25,000-$40,000 to have a baby. So you ain't getting nothing.

If you vote for Reform then there’s no coming back from the depths of stupidity. They will make you poorer and sell you out to Trump, your free NHS will be gone and the few remaining safety nets you rely on will be ripped from under you. Racism won’t feed your kids.

When a media company or law firm surrenders to Trump, they are hurting America. In most cases, they are doing it out of pure greed - both sides are highly transactional & care only about themselves. But their viewers/readers/clients should be clear-eyed about who they really are.

Trump's list of "whoopsies" since taking office just keeps growing. Plus: as Trump and his MAGA minions continue to insist "There's just two genders!", go beyond the binary with the complex truth about human sexuality. With misinformation spreading, staying informed is more important than ever.

Bannon the latest in the “Britain doesn’t manufacture anything” brigade. It’s a lazy trope you hear repeated in the media a lot. In fact the UK remains the 8th or 9th biggest manufacturer in the world. 10% of our GDP with some of the most advanced manufacturing anywhere.

We study this stuff at school & college. The judiciary's unique role in preventing the executive from riding roughshod over laws & populations. But I'm not sure we in the 'West' ever expected to live through its most urgent implementations. The thing you don't realise in class is how brave it is.

WATCH: Chaotic scenes on the house floor after @repchristodd & the Republicans cut off any debate on @aronmaberry’s anti-DEI bill BEFORE EVEN 1 QUESTION WAS ASKED, a “cowardly” move that drew understandable fury from @tndemocrats — who call the bill racist. Not democracy.
