@owenjonesjourno For too long the right wing have been encourage to do and say what they like while the left is browbeaten for defending itself in the name of decorum. That era is dead. The left is fighting and it won’t be stopped.

The Daily Mail is a cesspit of hatred and bile.
It has attacked every minority there is to attack.
It’s spread lies, divided communities, and ruined lives.
Its net contribution is to make this country worse.
Thankfully there’s now a leader with the guts to face it down.
alexmassie@alexmassie
This is an extraordinary thing for the leader of a political party to retweet.

@roomcguire @ettingermentum Like I don’t know how it is in the U.S. but if a child talks like this in Europe they get a special needs assistant

@roomcguire @ettingermentum I’m starting to think he genuinely has a developmental deficit disorder, but he’s so evil, I’m not sure how to feel about him

@MattZeitlin I know Tony Dokoupil is annoying but what about this JDL guy?
English
This feels very “loon wolf,” someone with a pretty shallow connection to the religion he’s ostensibly fighting for, an affiliation with a larger group that’s more claimed than granted
Jacqueline Sweet@JSweetLI
So the guy who founded JDL 613 was raised Catholic and converted in 2023, he says, after decades of being unable to kick a drug issue. Anyone know his birth/legal name? He seems to hail from central NJ/ Trenton area.

@giulio_mattioli @derJamesJackson Germany militarising, cracking down on dissent, and dictating to other European countries. If Europe fends off oppression from Russian, it will suffer it under Germany.

Big controversy in Italy as the hotel room of a left MEP was raided by the police prior to her participation in an anti-war demonstration. Now the police are saying that they were doing that based on a request coming from Germany.

@thorstenbenner @derJamesJackson Technological advancement is not the same as innovation, but a conservative culture thinks going further down a line is better than thinking outside the box.
What happened the last time Germany built incredibly advanced tanks against an enemy mass producing cheaper alternatives?

This by Rheinmetall CEO is precisely the arrogance that will come to haunt 🇩🇪.
It was arrogance vis-à-vis Chinese competitors that helped bring German carmakers in the ditch they are in.
And it‘s this type of arrogance vis-à-vis lessons learned by Ukrainians that will cost us.
Simon Shuster@shustry
I asked Europe's main producer of tanks and artillery what he thinks about the cheap drones wrecking all those tanks and artillery pieces in Ukraine. "This is not innovation," he said of the Ukrainian weapons. "This is how to play with Legos." An exclusive interview with Armin Papperger in my profile of his company, @RheinmetallAG, whose stock price has grown 15-fold since the Russian invasion, as the Europeans buy up all the tanks and artillery he can produce. Out today @TheAtlantic. Gift link below.

The thing about Raphinha for me isn't as much the international break as the fine margins that clubs walk with player fitness. He was under treatment for the injury he had two previous times, but was out there playing his heart out because his team needs him. Margins.

@GarethDennis @PriyamvadaGopal She’s trying to tap into the centrist podcast audience driven by smug derision of the left and right masquerading as magnanimity between a centre-left and a centre-right pair of hosts.

Rayner: "I need to replicate the success that Zack has seen creating and contributing to the left wing media ecosphere, reaching out to voters rather than the establishment."
also Rayner: "My first guest will be Michael Gove."
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford
Exclusive: Angela Rayner is preparing to launch a podcast called Beyond the Bubble as she seeks to broaden her appeal before a potential Labour leadership contest The former deputy prime minister has interviewed Lord Gove, the former Tory cabinet minister, as the star guest on the pilot, which is focused on housing Rayner and Gove both served as housing secretaries and the two recently gave evidence together to a parliamentary committee about leasehold reform. Both championed legislation to give leaseholders and renters more rights while they were in office The two are understood to get on well despite their political differences. Gove, who is now editor of The Spectator, is said to have joked to Rayner after their appearance before MPs that she had been like Annie Lennox to his Dave Stewart from Eurythmics In the first episode Rayner conducts other interviews with people across the country about housing. The show was produced by Global, which owns the radio station LBC, but it is not yet clear if it has signed off a full series thetimes.com/article/468db5…

Trump started the war with no authorization or vote. 98% of Republicans are backing him. A tiny # of Democrats are. A bunch of AIPAC Dems oppose it. So criticize AIPAC if you want but making this war about "AIPAC politicians" and not "Trump" misinforms more than it informs
Matt Duss@mattduss
Yes, ultimately it’s the fault of Trump, but this war didn’t come out of nowhere. AIPAC and AIPAC-bought politicians spent years laying groundwork for it by wildly overstating the threat, closing off diplomatic paths and attacking anyone who proposed non-military alternatives.

@ayeshaijazkhan @kenklippenstein Whether the buildup is a bluff or these leaks are a double bluff. The U.S. has trained Iran to not pay attention to anything the U.S. says or does outside of attacks.
English
So this gives the impression US is nowhere near ready for a ground invasion.
Ken Klippenstein@kenklippenstein
A conventional ground invasion of Iran is not imminent; military sources tell me that the Pentagon is just trying to scare them using strategic deception: kenklippenstein.com/p/is-a-ground-…

Judge Daniels: What's the most defamatory statement you've got? Garson: The cover. Bought. Owned. Cashing in. That he says he will follow the money and name names. Judge: It's hyperbole.

@TVietor08 Are you really pretending to not know that they want the war and are pretending not to? You’re worse than useless.

I don't understand why you would delay this vote a month. The war is happening now. Vote!
Andrew Solender@AndrewSolender
Rep. Greg Meeks tells me he hasn’t decided whether to force a vote on his war powers resolution this week or in mid-April. He also confirmed my reporting that his whip efforts have gotten most Dem defectors on board, with just one member whose vote is uncertain.

@eleanoir As old as time, trying with a partner to redeem one’s antagonism with the opposite sex. The expression of those issues by a woman can seem like feminism to the uneducated. Many such cases.

"I am worthless if I lose Aham is an underlying belief that never gets challenged—by a therapist, by a friend, by her editor, or by the author herself." like why am i supposed to see her as a feminist figure when this is the thesis of the book leighstein.substack.com/p/i-escaped-bl…

New York Times: The United States has sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war in the Middle East, according to two officials briefed on the diplomacy… It was unclear how widely the plan, delivered by way of Pakistan, had been shared among Iranian officials and whether Iran was likely to accept it as a basis for negotiations.
