I know I'm repeating myself, but it took 5 years, 5 years! for Capital One to make this information public. They name names & no one blinks. 'If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention'.

It's very very strange to be in a situation where Jeanine Pirro is the sane and responsible one!
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 8h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
I’ve been screening our documentary with organizing communities in the South. So far, the organizers mention data centers first at every single event. From racial justice orgs to old school activists who don’t usually think about tech policy. This has legs.

I think it's pretty clear that two of the events in our recent past that we still do not understand the full implications of are the COVID pandemic and the Israeli genocide in Gaza and US support for it.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Abdul El-Sayed wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
Between being wrongly fired from my job and losing my father within 6 months, 39 was a brutal year. Taking an enforced time out and will spend some time in southern Spain for a reset, to do some writing, and to welcome my 40th birthday (8/12).
A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.
Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers
The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

Politics feels corrupt because it is. Billionaire mega-donors aren’t just buying yachts and jets — they’re buying power, and they’re using that power to rig our political system. jamestalarico.com/issue/corrup...
btw if you’re ticked at AIPAC for whatever reason them spending a maximum amount of money to barely lose is ideal, 10/10, just as a pure matter of don’t-know-ball and forward outcome for them as an organization. this cycle has been catastrophic for them purely in terms of inputs and outputs
In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

“There’s a difference between being let back into society and being allowed to stand for public office." How has Kemi Badenoch found herself in the surreal position of defending a convicted Neo-Nazi standing as a Tory councillor?
So sad to see the falling out between these two. And no mention of the 5m #Farage received in exchange for doing nothing at all - or any of the other sleazy stuff that's continuing to swirl around #Tice and #Reform www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Rupert Lowe’s ‘olive branch’ to Farage piles more pressure on Reform leader

I think the Tories need to recognise that the Labour antisemitism problems under Corbyn cut through to the general public and were a factor in their loss in 2019. Non-political family members are now messaging me about the "former" neo-nazi being Tory candidate for Crewkerne South.
Could it be that MSM are pushing the story? Could it be that More in Common asked their 1608 people a leading question? Was it actual voters or those that are eligible to vote (important distinction)? Farage inciting violence never seems to get as much scrutiny, nor a survey of ‘voters’

It's not just the leadership that's toxic! The edifice stinks from Farage top to the very bottom - unimaginable as that may be!

Similar to 100 years after our Civil War the treasonous won most of the peace. The lesson is found from our Revolution where we expelled the Tories. Strict accountability.

My theory is the worse Badenoch performs the safer she is. If she did anything to turn around the fortunes of that party she might have a challenger who thought it worth leading.
Please let this happen 🙏. Farage losing to an alien Bin would be the greatest thing ever 😁🤣

I thought Polanski gave as good as he got on BBC WatO earlier. We need to remember Farage post the 2016 referendum saying 'well we held a referendum and nobody died'. For those with short memories Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered by a right wing zealot. Unforgivable comment.
I know she's incapable of ever admitting she's wrong about anything, but even I'm surprised that Kemi Badenoch has chosen this particular hill to die on
Meaning Kemi Badenoch is totally out of line in supporting the candidate who was imprisoned for his anti semite views plus harassing a female member of parliament not to mention his pornographic exploits! He is totally unsuitable imo! How can Kemi Badenoch endorse this man!
Carla Martin/Carlabela1@carlabela1.bsky.social · 14h agoI am not. Justin Webb supporter but give him his due he is questioning Kemi Badenoch's in her judgement of character! Totally out of order imo!
This is what Brexit bastards are almost all about. Especially people like Tice who spend their time in Dubai - Benidorm for cunts with money
Aidan O’Brien@aidanobrien.bsky.social · yesterdayThe “cowardly French” and the “incompetent Irish”, at its heart Brexit was the last gasp of imperial British exceptionalism. In their minds Britain was being held back by its small minded, feckless, cowardly partners and would thrive once it was unshackled from the EU and “forged its own path”.
Let's explain how the Reform plan to return refugees back to France without permission works in the real world. 1) The Royal Navy are ordered by PM Farage to enter French sovereign waters without permission and deposit refugees on French beaches, presumably using some kind of landing craft. 1/n
The London Economic@thelondoneconomic.bsky.social · yesterdayReform just can't seem to wrap their heads around why their plans to use the Royal Navy to return small boats to French shores aren't feasible or workable
