Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Amid all the stuff about ‘dangerous London’ and ‘broken Britain’, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.

New research out today: Amnesty International has found that X/Twitter played a central role in the spread of false narratives and content which incited violence against Muslim and migrant communities in the UK last summer

A year after racist riots erupted across England and Northern Ireland following the murder of Bebe King (aged 6), Elsie Dot Stancombe (aged 7) and Alice da Silva Aguiar (aged 9) in Southport, Amnesty International has found that social media platform X played a central role in the spread of false narratives and content which incited violence against Muslim and migrant communities. Our analysis of X’s open-source code reveals that the platform’s content ranking algorithms prioritise the type of content that can spread misinformation and hate, with deeply inadequate safeguards to prevent human rights abuses. “Our research demonstrates that these design choices significantly exacerbated human rights risks for racialised communities in the wake of the Southport riots– and continues to present a serious human rights risk today,” said Pat de Brún, Amnesty International’s Head of Big Tech Accountability. Islamophobic and xenophobic rhetoric on X after Southport Attack Within hours of the murder of the three young girls and attempted murder of ten others by 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, incendiary posts by far-right influencers went viral on X. Within 24 hours, posts falsely claiming the attacker was Muslim, a refugee and/or a migrant who had arrived by boat reached an estimated 27 million impressions. Our analysis of the recommender system and the removal of safeguards at X demonstrate that it is set up to amplify this type of harmful content and that there are few safeguards to prevent it. The net result was a staggering amplification of hate speech and anti-migrant sentiment. Andrew Tate, a notorious online influencer, posted a video falsely claiming the attacker was an “undocumented migrant” who “arrived on a boat” whilst Elon Musk claimed that “civil war is inevitable”. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s (also known as Tommy Robinson’s) posts on X, including claims such as there being “more evidence to suggest Islam is a mental health issue rather than a religion of peace”…

(🚨) MORE MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: ELON SUGGESTS HE MAY LEAVE GOP AND START NEW PARTY We are watching history in real time, folks. Remember that Elon Musk is the largest political donor in American history by a factor of 10.

❗ "Since he makes zero pretence of professionalism, it’s somehow less expected of him, enabling him to slip past the standards applied to others." A con man in 2016 and a con man now.

Prime Minister Farage? He’s serious about that – it’s time the country was too | Gaby Hinsliff

His tax-and-spending maths may be bonkers, but while Labour dithers, the Reform leader knows just what his voters want, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Trump just nominated Paul Ingrassia to run the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia is a former far-right podcast host and election denier who once shared an article calling for “martial law” to keep Donald Trump in office following his loss in the 2020 election. He's 29.

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

Trump just pardoned a corrupt sheriff who was found guilty of taking bribes in exchange for law endorsement badges. Those who bought the badges used them to drive in emergency lanes, bypass TSA lines, and for other favors.
