The “cancel culture” and anti-“wokeism” moral panics rely on a complete inversion of the actual balance of power, portraying traditionally marginalized groups as mighty forces that urgently need to be reined in – and those in elite positions as desperately in need of protection.

Dear @trussliz / @RishiSunak the cost of living crisis has left millions worried how they'll make ends meet.

I'd like to formally invite you, as the new PM, to join me asap once you take office for a special hour's @itvMLshow discussion/Q&A to answer/ease people's concerns.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret If you had to rank your own preference amongst the likely candidates for the next conservative leader what would the order be and who would be in first / last position?

Sunak & Javid resigning is not a sign of integrity, it’s a sign of self protection

Why did it take the 1000th lie from Johnson?

What do we think of Tottenham?🎵

Republicans look at Trump’s coup attempt as an excellent blueprint they only failed to execute properly. And so they are trying to get themselves in a position to do better next time. If they succeed, democracy might be doomed before the first ballot in the 2024 election is cast.

@Amb_Ulyanov @MarkHertling The U.S. not only fought directly against the Nazis but also massively supplied the Soviet military with tanks (ca. 13.000), planes (ca. 14.000), other vehicles (ca. 400.000), food (ca 4.5 million tons), etc. https://t.co/nXvgBgAQJt

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

“The extreme left is taking over” WHERE. In Texas, Republicans passed a law allowing rapists to sue their victims for getting an abortion.

Can anyone name a “far left” policy that extreme implemented anywhere? We can’t even get our party to import cheaper RXs from Canada. foh

NAACP statement: "Mr. Musk: free speech is wonderful, hate speech is unacceptable. Disinformation, misinformation and hate speech have NO PLACE on Twitter. Do not allow 45 to return to the platform. Do not allow Twitter to become a petri dish for hate speech."

So let me get this straight: Whilst @RishiSunak was a serving UK MP he was telling the US government that he intended to make the US his perm home & he was only visiting the UK? And his wife was telling the UK she was only here temporarily & intended to make India her perm home?

I would like to confirm that #Slovakia has provided #Ukraine with an air-defence system S-300. #Ukrainian nation is #bravely defending its sovereign country and us too. It is our duty to help, not to stay put and be ignorant to the loss of human lives under #Russia’s agression.

Republicans could not be clearer about what their goal is: 1950s-style white Christian patriarchal dominance - that’s their animating vision for America. All the racial and social progress towards multiracial, pluralistic democracy since the 1950s needs to go.

Some thoughts: 1/

[Thomas Zimmer @tzimmer_history]

Ban abortion and contraception; criminalize LGBTQ people.

Install an authoritarian white nationalist education system, ban dissent.

Restrict voting rights, purge election commissions.

These are not disparate actions - it’s one political project. 5/

A reminder that the first time Nadine Dorries came to public prominence was when she appeared in this Channel Four documentary about fundamentalist Christians.

[Charles Tannock @CharlesTannock]

If ever you wondered how a civilised country of deepest intellectual & artistic culture like Germany in 1930s could succumb to a deranged psychopath like Hitler you are now witnessing the same phenomenon a century later in contemporary Russia tragically hijacked by kleptofascists

[Gitanas Nausėda @GitanasNauseda]

From this month on - no more Russian gas in Lithuania 🇱🇹.

Years ago my country made decisions that today allow us with no pain to break energy ties with the agressor.

If we can do it, the rest of Europe 🇪🇺 can do it too!

Channel 4 News is basically like the last bit of air in the top of a tank that’s filling up with sewage threatening to drown you.

We’re lucky to have it.
