With the US elections just around the corner, some food for thought about #democracy, #dictatorship and #truth.

Elon Musk pretends to be a champion for free speech. He criticizes the Brazilian judge, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and European policies. But I have yet to see him utter a single word of disapproval on Russia and China, where Twitter is banned.

Remember when Gary Lineker said the language on immigration from politicians resembles 1930s Germany? Remember the uproar because it was an absurd comparison apparently?

It's so disappointing to see Wednesday shirts amongst the Neanderthals outside the hotel in Manvers that's been set on fire today. A hotel that's housing men, women and children seeking safe refuge in the UK. #swfc #notproud

Wow who made this? They are a genius.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

There's no political justification for the disorder we've seen. But if people want to get into the blame game, these are the facts. The Tories were in power for 14 years. Labour have been in power for 4 weeks. Blaming Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper for this is just ridiculous.

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

Yesterday's riots have woken people up to the scale of the far right challenge. But we’re still getting a lot of things wrong. 1/ The fascists achieved something: they have terrorised Britain’s BAME population. I’ve got people contacting me saying they don’t feel safe…

[Richard Bentall #FBPE @richardbentall.bsky.social @RichardBentall]

We need to have some clarity about the causes of the rioting over the past few days.

A 🧵about the rioters, the instigators (two fairly distinct groups of people), and the processes leading to the current unrest. 1/21

[Brendan May @bmay]

No idea how yesterday happened. None at all.

[Daniel Pollick @danmac007]

@DPJHodges If your antipathy towards migrants leads you to incite people to burn down police stations or to sympathise with those who do or to equivocate when asked to condemn those who do, you are far right.

There's a special place in Hell for privately educated multimillionaires who stir up racial tension in working class communities to boost the electoral prospects of their hard right political party

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

I have legitimate concerns about crime in our country, I feel let down by various state failures, like almost all Brits. To conflate this with rioting thugs being violent to police and setting fire to our streets is total misdirection. Don't fall for it.

[Greg Stone 🔶 @gm_stone]

I hope the BBC reflect on how their normalisation of Farage during the election helped to enable this, and I hope that Ofcom reflect on how their utter failure to effectively regulate GB News has helped to further fuel the situation.

[Steve Analyst @EmporersNewC]

Who would have thought the UK politicians and the media spending 20 years pushing a conspiracy theory would lead to distrust in politicians? Who thought whipping people up with immigration rhetoric, and promising Brexit was the solution, would lead to trouble later?

A reminder that most trans people are just trying to navigate their way through their lives with as little impact on you as possible
