Yet again, Elon Musk is pushing the insanely racist Great Replacement Theory that has directly inspired several mass murders from his fellow white supremacists.

The richest man in the world who controls a massive media platform is *repeatedly* pushing this garbage and it should be a global scandal.

The struggle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

MSF urges Israel to let critical aid into Gaza as children freeze to death At least 13 people in Gaza, including two-week-old and one-month-old babies, have died from winter weather.

This is shameful

Banning phones doesn’t fix phone addiction. Students still struggle when they go home. Instead, teach them to notice when tech helps & when it drains.

Start with one question:

The worst person to be in Wales A crisis we are just accepting

"The main UK BBC analysis of the Caerphilly result read: 'Extraordinary by-election humbles Westminster’s big beasts' with a narrative centred on the decline of Labour & the Tories.

"Plaid Cymru, who won by 11%, was the fourth party mentioned." Its leader was not.

Farage had a photo AND quotes.

I like Greta Thunberg because she seems to think like me from a similar values base. I’m wildly impressed because what took me >50years has taken her less than 10. And I’m not analytically shabby either. That kid doesn’t just have a big heart, she’s very clever.
