Controversial opinion but I think it’s ok for neighborhoods to change over time.
Wandsworth’s Planning Applications Committee tonight rejected the proposal for a 28-story tower block by Battersea Bridge. The committee listened to the views of local residents & agreed that the Glassmills proposal was incompatible with the existing heritage and landscape 👍

I’m probably not the first to point out the incongruity of the U.S. being ruled by a Peronist while Argentina is led by a libertarian.

A lot of the people who built their brands on defending "free speech" are reminding us over & over that they never meant it. The entire point of the First Amendment is that it protects unpopular speech, not just stuff you vibe with. Principles are anathema to these folks.
US District Judge Lee Rosenthal just ruled that Texas A&M must allow a drag show to take place. Judges are now forcing queer theory and s*xually explicit shows to take place at Universities.

Bizarre take from Bernie
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

I have a confession and a plea to folks who are flirting with voting Jill Stein. When I was a 20 year old college student in 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore. I loved the progressive message Nader offered, and Bush and Gore seemed kinda the same to someone who

“Kamala is a Cop” Yes and Trump is a dictator who is itching to take every single one of your human rights away in an instant. Stop the performative activism and get it the fuck together.

Jeremy Hunt, "Some Conservatives will wonder whether the scale of our crushing defeat is really justified, but when you lose the trust of the electorate, all that matters is to have the courage and humility to ask yourself why" "Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are decent people..

Today is a wonderful day to thank everyone who, back in 2016, said Hillary was no different than Trump.

I have to say that I am struggling with this notion of a super-majority. I was brought up to believe that a 52:48 ratio gives the winning side free rein.

Just a reminder that 14 yrs ago there were no waiting lists over 18-weeks, no 12-hour A&E waits, no waiting an hour for an urgent ambulance, over 90% of cancer patients started treated within two months, everyone could see their GP within 2-days,… Then we got the Tories

Unpopular opinion but Joe Biden is literally everything Americans say they want in a president: highly empathetic, skilled at getting shit done, seeks bipartisanship where possible, stays out of headlines, not corrupt, willing to change his mind on issues with the electorate
