BREAKING: Chilling words about Trump and the 2026 elections by Illinois Governor Pritzker: "He would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

I know that was a bit ranty, and so may not be too helpful. But attacking folks who look different rather than dealing with the FAR bigger issue of protecting women and girls from violence and abuse from by far mainly white British men is madness! 83% of grooming gangs are white British! Facts tho!
So the message is - only white British men can attack 'our' women! There are abusive folks in every community- and this is absolutely unacceptable and needs policing! I'm far more scared of places with St George's flags, than men of colour. Only white British men have ever attacked or abused me.
When this is not prioritised! Having an adjudicated rapist in the White House makes the risk of women and girls being sexually or violently attacked even higher. 2 out of 5 of the folks convicted from last years riots had convictions for abuse of women. And it's sadly bloody hard to get a conviction
This is an absolute horror show! I don't understand where our compassion and love has gone? Im a survivor of abuse myself and as a Psychologist I work with women survivors on a daily basis. I am absolutely a supporter of the safety of women and girls and completely understand the ramifications

In a rich country schools function as food banks. Two-thirds (67%) of teachers in England expect children in their class to go hungry over summer holidays, 675,000 school-aged children in England might go hungry. 1% have more wealth than 70% of population combined. Poverty is a political choice

Zack doesn't debate right wing grifters. He challenges them. Ann can't cope with that. She's used to getting the unearned courtesy that she might be right. The core of her ideology is never questioned. As Greens we need to do the same. Challenge lies, not appease them. Zack can help us do that.
It's so refreshing to have someone calling out this complacent nonsense out. Keep up the push, @zackpolanski.bsky.social!

This is a key table to understanding public opinion on migration. *When confronted with the real trade offs* people go for protecting the NHS and the economy over reducing migration. The problem as per the rest of the thread is many don't believe those trade offs exist.
