I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Another triggered Trump supporting “Christian“ white man calling with insults and threats. Jeff Beaupain (facebook.com/p/Jeff-Beaupain…) from Dallas, Texas, a grown man pushing 60, called my church threatening to “beat the sh*t” out of me because I called Trump racist. Let that sink in. Old enough to be a grandfather. Old enough to know better. Old enough to understand the Constitution he claims to love. Yet emotionally fragile enough to call a church and threaten physical violence over a social media post. This is white fragility on full display. You have every right to disagree with me. You have every right to post your opinion on your page. You do NOT have the right to threaten violence because you can’t control what I say on mine. If your politics make you this unhinged, the problem isn’t my critique, it’s your insecurity. And for the record, Jeff: intimidation doesn’t work over here.

Apparently @elonmusk hates this Banksy. Would be awful if we kept sharing it...
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not a Banksy. This is a digital alteration of a work by a French artist in Lyon. reuters.com/fact-check/mur…

My coworker is 67. He drags himself into the office every day, pale and exhausted. He has Stage 3 cancer. He wants to retire. He needs to rest. But he can't. If he retires, he loses the company’s "Gold Tier" health insurance, and Medicare won't cover the experimental treatment that is actually shrinking his tumor. He is literally working to stay alive. He naps in his car during lunch just to get through the afternoon. Productivity shouldn't be the price of survival.

BREAKING: MAGA lunatics target Renee Good’s 6-year-old child by flooding his school with harassment and threats — forcing them to switch to online-only classes. If you were wondering how low MAGA outrage culture can sink, here’s your answer: they’re terrorizing a 26-student elementary school because a grieving 6-year-old goes there. After Minnesota mother Renee Good was shot and killed by a federal immigration officer, profit-hungry right-wing media and callous MAGA influencers didn’t stop at smearing her. They went after her son’s school, too. Southside Family Charter School, a small, community-centered K-5 school where kids eat meals together, mentor one another, and take field trips, was forced to move classes online after a flood of threats poured in. Why? Because the New York Post and MAGA social media mobs decided the school’s social justice curriculum made it a political target. Let that sink in: a school teaching kids empathy and history is now being treated like a crime scene. The school’s “offense”? Teaching about George Floyd’s murder. Posting a sign reminding ICE that they need a judicial warrant to enter. Encouraging staff to follow the law and protect students. In MAGA world, that’s apparently enough to justify threats, harassment, and calls to defund a school full of children. Right-wing accounts went full conspiracy mode, claiming without evidence that Renee Good was a “domestic terrorist,” that the school “trained” her to fight federal agents, and that her death was somehow justified. One TikTok pushing this garbage racked up more than 100,000 views. And then came the feckless politicians. Republican Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia, safely hundreds of miles away, demanded that all federal funding be stripped from the school, calling it “anti-American.” Because nothing screams patriotism like punishing traumatized kids and educators for not worshipping ICE. This is the MAGA playbook in plain sight: Dehumanize the victim. Smear the community. Target the children. School leaders, who are trying to grieve while protecting their students, shut down social media and pulled their online presence just to stop the threats. Still, they emphasized what MAGA rage can’t erase — the fact that the community has rallied around them. This isn’t about safety. It’s not about education. It’s not about the law. It’s about sending a message: If you question authority, teach history honestly, or dare to humanize immigrants, MAGA will come for you—even if you’re a tiny school full of children mourning their friend’s mom. They silenced Renee Good with bullets; now they’re trying to silence her son’s classroom with false words. Please like and share to spread the disgust!

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history." RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!

You hear that, MAGA? According to the Trump administration, merely having a gun on you means the government can execute you. It doesn’t even matter if you brandish the firearm. If you have a gun, it's open season on you.
Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever Bessent: But he brought a gun! Karl: We do have a second amendment in this country.

Dear Daniel Greenberg As you are the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, I have a question. How is it acceptable that Nigel Farage who broke the MPs code of conduct SEVENTEEN TIMES received no sanctions? Why have the rules? #BBCBreakfast #CodeOfConduct #NolanPrinciples
