If he's lost Ian Dunt - who was blindly loyal to him to the point of blocking hundreds of us who mildly questioned his hyperbolic praise of Starmer early on (um, no, I don't think that's a huge historical moment? *block*) - he's in big, big trouble.

Imagine THIS being the Kennedy you end up with in the executive branch for a full term.
Your father would despise you.
Worst damn timeline.
Witness the mesmerizing murmuration of starlings in Italy, a stunning display of nature's coordination and beauty as they dance through the sky in unison.
Yeah, still not forgiving him for leaning into Reform for 18 months instead of calling them out & laying down a positive vision of this nation. And replacing an immensely competent woman already handling Trump with a paedo adjacent waster & now not taking responsibility?
Nah.
Just goes to show you how shallow the scientific foundation is. There may have been a lot of strides, but there were never any roots.
Absolutely disgusting.
And the Black Panthers and MLK's movement, I bet. And so much more.
It's also not like the promise of a 'lesser sentence' isn't payment. It may not be cash, but it is transactional and an incentive.
So this desi thinks Kash Patel can button it. Preferably indefinitely.
In my polemic I made a point of just giving Alex Karp the ground he demanded on every one of his points
Even w/n his fever dream of an existence, he still manages to not make any sort of coherent argument
It's even more devastating if you simply allow them to land their blow, and show it's nothing
Proportional representation is the best solution, or, barring that, a national gerrymandering ban like Democrats tried to pass in 2021.
Passing either one requires Dems to redraw House maps in response to GOP gerrymanders in the near term so that electing a pro-reform majority remains possible
When is the FBI going to be indicted for "secretly funding" the Black Panthers and the Weather Underground?
True, but let's at least give Starmer accountability for his absolutely crap judgment. They couldn't do this if he didn't help make it possible.
How convenient of the Sikh Federation to forget that she was attacked because he thought she was Muslim. Next time, maybe actually speak out against Islamophobia.
Still angry about this. Not a word about 'something needs to be done about Islamophobia, she wouldn't have been attacked if he hadn't thought she was Muslim,' just 'something needs to be done about anti-Sikh hate b/c I don't care about anyone not like me.'
Do better, Jas.
The rice bowl place my mom and I like to go to for lunch recently announced that all their coupons will be moving off their website and onto a proprietary app.
Me: Cool. I'll just go to (other rice bowl place nearby) instead and get whatever's on special.
Employee: Yeah, we get that a lot.
I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of
- new account fatigue
- new app fatigue
- useless upgrade fatigue
- terms of service fatigue
Or wait - how about we just fight ALL forms of racism and stop giving Islamophobia a pass.
You do not need to include Sikhs in the definition of Islamophobia, you just need to fight racism wherever you find it.
To Jas Singh, this wasn't a case of 'anti-Sikh' hate; this was a case of a Sikh woman *being mistaken for a Muslim*. You're absolutely right about 'anti-Sikh' hate, but in this case, it was Islamophobia. So maybe, just maybe, you need to speak up for others as well as yourselves.
All y'all talking about every other form of oppression other than Islamophobia are the problem. If you don't understand how Islamophobia is linked to your pet cause, then you'd better take a hard lesson & start speaking up for everybody.

Debate around Mandelson fixates on process, vetting, Sir Olly Robbins' role, but it's about judgement
He should never have been considered. Karen Pierce had cultivated strong relationships in the MAGA world - she was a professional diplomat.
That's before we get to Epstein, Russia, China links
🔥NEW: Sir Olly Robbins says there was an expectation from No10 to get Mandelson in post "as quickly as humanly possible".
There was a "dismissive attitude to his vetting process", Robbins says.
Sounds like it. Listening to him I thought he'll have very good grounds for unfair dismissal. Starmer is fucked
🤣🤣🤣 I lived in Seattle from 2005-2007. It was an extra cold and snowy winter. Seals and sea lions were getting on top of cars at the Safeway in Queen Anne 🤣🤣 crushing them because they were warm!
Sea lions gonna sea lion 🤣
the only picture you'll ever need when explaining "sea lions are what happened when bears decided they wanted to play in the ocean as a full time job"
Pedocon theory remains undefeated
Can't believe it's his year's mind already.
Amen, and thank G-d that prophet left us Pope Leo XIV.
Requiescat in pace, Papa.
Between him, David Bowie, and Alan Rickman, we should have known. Then we lost George Michael on Christmas.
🤣🤣🤣 More like trying to distract myself from hosting bits of the Skoll festival and my assignments due next week!!
Herbert McCabe will be featuring in my atonement essay...
Mahmoud has listened to same clique of senior Home Office officials who have advised for 30+ years that loud announcements of punitive policies will deter refugees from coming to UK to seek asylum.
Labour did this extensively last time. It didn’t work.
A history thread. +
