Yes, and a racism thing. It is interesting the way the far right is presented and promoted as an alternative, protest and threat to the status quo that must be dealt with, but only because it is aligned and acceptable - and can be pandered to and parroted.

You'd think from the reporting that Zack Polanski is the worst thing that has happened in British politics in recent years. Weirdly, they seem excited about his perceived failures but suggest ways he could have done things differently to do better. That's objectivity and balance.

This is why I get pissed off when anyone accuses me of being an elitist when I say young people should go to college if they can. I say that because my dad was a local lineman and contractor who did heavy physical labor for years and has had chronic back pain since his early 30s

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.

44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan, Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal officials.
