Uses the word “raped” to describe someone who’s standing up to racism, but will claim to care about women and children
Nazi scum need to be shamed into hiding once more.

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years.
Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all.
People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.

She did the meme again
The breakfasts are not free. They are paid for by taxes - mostly on parents who feed their own kids. Most of these 10,000 children would have had a perfectly healthy breakfast at home without these clubs. This isn't about helping the poorest kids, it's the state taking over the basic job of parenting.

I'm honestly shocked.
The BBC quotes Republican politician Randy Fine calling Tucker Carlson an antisemite.
Randy Fine is an extreme racist. And I mean, really extreme.
He has said:
"If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one."
"‘Palestinian’ is just another word for demon."
In reference to "mainstream Muslims", he said: “I don’t know how you make peace with those who seek your destruction. I think you destroy them first."
“There is no suffering adequate for these animals. May the streets of Gaza overflow with blood.”
"“Palestinian” = Hamas. #BombsAway"
"Gaza must be destroyed."
These are all direct quotes. I could go on.
What was the BBC thinking? How could they possibly conclude that this was an acceptable person to quote on anything, let alone on the question of racism?
If a Republican politician had said similar statements about Jewish people, would the BBC quote them? No, they would not, they would - rightly - think that would be a scandalous thing to do.
Seriously, what the hell is the justification here? What is the defence?
How are Muslims supposed to do anything other than conclude that the BBC has contempt for them?

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.
These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

.@JamesTalarico: They’re scared of the movement we are building. They’re gonna throw everything they have at us.
They’re gonna call me a ‘radical leftist.’
They’re going to call me a ‘fake Christian.’
They’ll call our movement un-Texan and un-American.
They’ll call us a threat.
The only truth is — we are a threat. We’re a threat to their corrupt system.

I’ve seen a lot of Presidents fall short of their promises but I’ve never seen any President just doing the opposite of everything promised on purpose. Prices, Epstein, wars. Just absolutely racing to betray his voters.

When did you become such an ignorant bigot?
This seems a very fair question
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

I don’t think we hate old people enough in this country. Most of the current issues can be traced back to them.
