When the cashier said she was exhausted from working extra shifts to make some money for Christmas, the man behind me chipped in that it would be worse once she takes all our money (in case Rachel Reeves was wondering, her budget pitch-rolling is definitely cutting through). Routine enough, if he hadn't gone on to add that she and the rest of the government needed taking out, and that there were plenty of ex-military men around who should know what to do, before continuing in more graphic fashion until the queue fell quiet and feet began shuffling.
And it reminded me of kind of a, in a different way, the way that those, that Republican text thread in New York, you know, making jokes about watermelon and making jokes about the Holocaust and making jokes about Hitler and making jokes about women and making jokes about gay people and just the vile, vile vile. By the way, if people haven't read it, I mean, be careful reading it,
Over the weekend, thousands of people across the country participated in "No Kings" rallies, protesting what they perceive to be President Donald Trump's abuse of executive power. That included many Towson University students, who had originally planned to hold the protest on the Maryland campus. But when university administrators began asking for the names and addresses of speakers, organizers moved the rally off campus to avoid "[putting] them in harm's way," one organizer told the Banner.
The person arrested, along with thousands of violent felons who stormed the US Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack, was pardoned by Donald Trump on the President's very first day in office,
Jones added: Let me be very clear I am ashamed, I am embarrassed, and I am sorry. I am sorry to Speaker Gilbert, I am sorry to his family. I'm sorry to my family and I'm sorry to every single Virginian. I cannot take back what I said, but you have my word that I will always be accountable for my mistakes, and you also have my word that I will spend every waking moment fighting for you.
"They do want to stop the problems, and they've been open about it, and we gave them approval for a period of time," he said. "We are having 'em watch that there's not going to be big crime or some of the problems that you have when you have areas like this that have been literally demolished."
We're going to get to the funding of Antifa, we're going to get to the root of Antifa, and we are going to find and charge all of those people who are causing this chaos in Portland and all these other cities across our country. Talk to all the influencers who have been threatened and beat up and their lives threatened from Antifa members.
The alleged attacker was wound up and sent into battle by the dangerous rhetoric of Labour and the Greens, Finch told the Daily Mail. He said the attack didn't cause any lasting injury. Farage said he was deeply upset about the incident and the words used against him echo the prime minister's disgraceful attack on Reform during Labour conference week and wholly irresponsible comments from the leader of the Green party.
Well, first, that was an extremely ridiculous thing for Ted Cruz to say. I never said Jewish people. I'm not anti-Semitic. I don't hate any people group for their identity or who they are. So that was unbelievably low for a sitting U.S. senator to say. But what I'm talking about is very real. I have a tremendous amount of death threats,
Winston Peters posted to social media on Monday evening saying a disgusting coward had smashed a window in his Auckland home and left a sign on the door. Glass was shattered all over our dog. He also left a sign on the front door. I wasn't home. But my partner and guest were. This is truly gutless, Peters said. Peters told media on Tuesday the note said welcome to the real world.
When Nepal's youth rose up without a leader, they broke a century-long cycle of betrayal, and showed where power really lies. In the 48 hours that Nepal's Gen-Z revolution unfolded, one question echoed across the country: Where is their Lenin? But perhaps that question missed the point. For decades, every Nepali revolution has been undone not by its enemies but by those who claimed to lead it. This time, the absence of a single figurehead was not a weakness; it was the movement's greatest strength.
In the nine months since Donald Trump's return to the White House, the overall goals of his agenda have become clear enough: weaken the United States abroad to create an environment friendly to dictators, while using the U.S. government and armed forces to establish a dictatorship at home. Will it work? The success of Trump's plan depends on how we see it, or rather, whether we choose not to see it.
Recent events have demonstrated a dangerous convergence of heated political rhetoric and the easy availability of powerful weaponry. The targeted assassination of political figures and commentators is rising. The impact of such acts on society's sense of safety and democratic norms is profound. As fear and fury increasingly mix with firearms, it's critical to examine how we got here and how we can respond.
