Former Labour voters:
Compare this with how they perceived prices going up during COVID.
It’s 2026. The World Cup is in North America. The top flight league has so drastically cut its own media presence and has a fully paywalled broadcast that’s effectively made it invisible to casual soccer fans. Second tier league is openly trying to bust a union.

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take
Pretty sure when they started imposing this idiocy they assured a bunch of judges that they would be able to refund the money with no problem if it ever came to that.
As I'm always saying: bring back the pamphlet!
There's a big space for non-fiction writing that sits somewhere between the long-read (c.5k words) and the full book (c.80k words).
“Damas first told Florence staff about his toothache Feb. 12 & was given only ibuprofen …”
“’He was complaining for almost two wks straight, until he collapsed & got septic from the infection,’ Ellis told the Star. He was transferred to a Scottsdale hospital sometime last wk …” #AbuseofPowerWatch

I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.

The idea of WWII invasions stopping for land acknowledgements is now seared in my brain.
We, US Marines, acknowledge that Okinawa is the stolen land of the Ryukyu Kingdom....
Objective journalism language!
These are war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions.
Increasingly I think we should turn the whole Trump cabinet over to the ICC to be tried at The Hague.
