@RestIsPolitics I have heard a rumour (and the source.makes me think this is true) that Suffolk county libraries are banning storytelling sessions by panto dames under the guise of "child protection" /1
My question is how far can authoritarians get away with under the pretense of "thinking of the children"? Surely this is undermining our authority as parents to decide what is best for our kids /2

Elon is sick of not getting what he wants from Trump, so he has set in motion his plan to destroy Trump and have Trump removed from office.
If that happens, then JD Vance becomes President and Elon believes JD will be easier to control and manage.
This MAGA civil war is going to drag on for months and Trump will lose if he doesn’t fold now and give Elon everything he wants.

BREAKING MAGA🍿:
Musk bought Trump the presidency. He has the receipts. Now he’s gone ballistic. This war won’t end well for anyone—except one thing is certain: Core MAGA is finished. The loudest, dumbest cult in modern history is about to eat itself alive.

The reality
Musk isn’t fighting the Big Beautiful Bill because of some noble stand against government overreach that’s a smokescreen. The bill, signed into law in March 2025 as part of Trump’s GENIUS Act framework, integrates blockchain technology into financial systems to enhance transparency and security, as reported by the White House.
For Tesla, this transparency is a death knell. The company has long relied on regulatory credits to inflate its profits, raking in $1.8 billion in 2024 alone from selling EV credits to other automakers, according to Tesla’s 2024 annual report

After #musk's call for #DementiaDon's impeachment - now QAnon guy #Bannon is calling for #Ketaminwrack #musk's deportation.
No one can really get rid of the other, everyone knows incriminating (blackmail material) about the other.
Night of long knives..

There is literally no personal upside to Elon doing this. He is just burning what was left of his goodwill on the right and admitting that he willingly helped a pedophile. Seems like a historic mistake

Romanian conspiracy theorist Călin Georgescu, who claims to have spoken with aliens at the UN,was just banned from running.
MAGA will use this to campaign against the EU, claiming 'censorship.' Officials found weapons & millions in cash at multiple addresses linked to Georgescu.

I think a deal has been made: the US gets the Tates and stops supporting Georgescu. American bases in Romania will be expanded (as announced yesterday). But the trust is forever lost. The US tried to sell us to Russia. I will never forget that.

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it.

So it really is just the Americans who are paying way too much for their eggs.

Holding Labour accountable is fine but that’s NOT what’s happening. What we’re seeing is the most rich powerful people in the world throwing all they’re got at a democratically elected UK govt, because it’s far less likely to work solely in THEIR interests than the previous one.

Naturally, Hitler wasn’t a communist. Attempts to rewrite history in this way are often meant to stigmatize left-leaning governments around the world.
However, this distinction shouldn’t even matter. Economic policies are irrelevant when discussing authoritarian regimes or dictatorships. Stalin from the "left" was as destructive as Hitler from the "right."
Both were bloodthirsty dictators who started massive wars and were responsible for the deaths of tens of millions. Their political ideologies were merely tools to gain and maintain power.
Similarly, today’s politicians and oligarchs are driven by the same thirst for wealth and control. Many dictatorships began within democratic systems - take Viktor Orbán, for example. He was democratically elected but gradually concentrated power in his hands and those of his cronies.
Liberal democracies worldwide face threats from egotistical oligarchs (be they Russian or South African) and power-hungry politicians. To safeguard democracy, we must move beyond oversimplified political labels and focus on distinguishing anti-democratic actions from pro-democratic ones.
“Among a people generally corrupt, liberty cannot long exist.”

Ironic perhaps, but also routine. From Russian oligarchs weaponizing UK libel laws to exploiting free speech protections to spread propaganda and making financial donations, dictatorships love to turn Western openness into a vulnerability.
A majority of the Court seems to have recognized that is not a run-of-the-mill First Amendment case but that the federal statute that would shut down TikTok in the United States unless its Chinese-controlled parent company sells it was based on important principles of national sovereignty and self defense against a foreign adversary.
It would be profoundly ironic if an authoritarian state like China, while denying basic freedoms to its own citizens, were able to tie America’s hands by invoking our own Constitution.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that most Americans on this app genuinely know nothing about politics outside their own borders.
Andrew Tate is running for Prime Minister of the UK.
He is going to win & he is going to be one of the most badass people to ever be elected.
The entire world needs Andrew Tate to win.
Thank you for doing this @Cobratate
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
You cannot "run" or be elected as Prime Miniter of the United Kingdom.
