Sally Rooney forced to pull books from the UK, meanwhile the far right can schmooze former prime ministers and, apparently, hire contract killers with impunity.
"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

As a political science professor, I can confidently say: If I asked a student to define "socialism" on an exam and they wrote that, they would get an F
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

telling to see UK pundits so befuddled about Keir Starmer's downfall. He went after immigrants, the poor and the elderly, gave a top job to an Epstein acolyte, was complicit in genocide, and lied over and over again. But it's weird that people didn't like him! www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

This was Reform's best chance at a constituency gain, and they came up just short: in the final BBS model before polls opened, they had a tiny edge, it was a total tossup. SNP will be extremely relieved by this ^AF

Look at the US, where the Republicans were first to spot that the old “Neoliberalism, engine of freedom and prosperity” stuff was not going to fly any more, so they leaned hard into racism and crushing enemies. Leaving the Dems happily holding the bag for a fucked and obviously corrupt system.
As is now painfully obvious, political centrism (government by neoliberal technocrats) is in its final death throes. The only beneficiary of their demise is the racist, nativist, xenophobic, idiot-right. The only viable alternative to the catastrophe of their rise is an avowedly antifascist left.
