ITV footage shows racist, sexual, violent rhetoric among Reform members. These lunatics say “King Charles is a f***ing Muslim… " and want him to be beheaded. They want concentration camps for migrants, violence against minorities. Return of the Nazis, 100 years after the Cable Street resistance.

This ITV doc about Reform is basically a feature length parade of pathetic white men being racist and/or misogynistic and expressing violent fantasies against Muslims and other minorities. The sheer number of examples was damning. It should destroy their support. It probably won't.

The author said the stakes for Spain and Europe were high, arguing that a PP–Vox government would bring the far right to national power for the first time since Franco’s death, make life harder for migrants and minorities, and have destabilising constitutional implications. https://t.co/DTODrPO7Ii #España #Política #DerechosHumanos #ES #EU

Scholars debate exactly how good conditions were for religious minorities in Islamic Al-Andalus, but everyone agrees it was better for Jews than Christian rule. It takes some chutzpah for a Catholic priest to go to Jerusalem and say this, given what happened to the Jews when Catholics took Spain.

The author said the Verkhovna Rada had voted to strengthen the education rights of national minorities, calling it a crucial step. They welcomed unity across the political spectrum, saying it was important for keeping reforms moving, and said two more negotiating clusters were planned to open the following day.

Socialisternes notoriske løgne har igen båret frugt: “Who Invented Slavery? A Skeptic Research Center survey of more than 3,000 American adults asked respondents whether the statement “White people invented slavery” was true or false. The results were striking: 59% of Hispanic, 69% of Black, and 55% of Asian women answered “true.” Among men, the figures were 49%, 53%, and 41%, respectively. Among white respondents, 39% of women and 25% of men answered “true.” 55% of liberal Millennials also agreed, as did 31% of Americans with graduate degrees. Skeptic Research Center The survey also found other misconceptions among highly educated Americans: about 3 in 4 believed white Americans were the wealthiest racial group, while more than half were unaware that qualified Asian applicants are regularly rejected by U.S. universities. Around 1 in 3 also held a pessimistic view of the prospects for racial minorities and women to achieve success. But the historical record is clear: slavery was not invented by white people. Various forms of slavery existed in many societies long before the transatlantic slave trade—including in the ancient Middle East, Greece and Rome, as well as in Africa and the Americas. This does not diminish Europe’s central role in the transatlantic slave trade, in which millions of Africans were transported to the Americas and enslaved. But “Europeans played a central role in the transatlantic slave trade” and “white people invented slavery” are two entirely different historical claims. The United States abolished slavery through the 13th Amendment in 1865. Slavery is therefore a global institution with thousands of years of history. The transatlantic slave trade was a particularly large and brutal chapter of that history—but it was not its beginning” - ChatGPT

More than 2,000 Yemenis are already there, while nearly 94,000 people have been displaced inside Yemen. A fuel shortage is temporarily slowing sea crossings, but the International Organization for Migration expects more people to attempt the journey once fuel becomes available. Djibouti's capacity to absorb additional arrivals could come under increasing pressure.

The Great Feminization, Measured Seventy-two percent of men under thirty hold a positive view of women; among women under thirty, 50% (a 22-point gap). Among women under twenty-five, the share is 35% (a 37-point gap). Where the manosphere and “toxic masculinity” dominate headlines, the data points elsewhere: young women increasingly sort men into the enemy column. The class divide is sharp. Among working-class young women, 61% view men positively; among professional-class women, 36%—a 25-point gap tied to exposure to universities, HR departments, media organizations, and NGOs. The pattern runs through institutional conditioning. Helen Andrews argued this in 2020: between 2015 and 2020 many Western institutions became majority-female, including the New York Times newsroom (2018), law schools (2016), medical schools and the college-educated workforce (2019). Affirmative-action mandates, discrimination settlements, and diversity requirements helped drive the shift. As institutions changed, so did missions: justice increasingly focused on protecting “oppressed” minorities; newsrooms shifted from reporting toward narrative enforcement; universities moved from arguing to “safe spaces.” The result is a “daycare governance model”: infants to be protected (the oppressed), caregivers to provide protection (the allies), and predators to be removed (the dissenters). Research shows the same frame in speech: FIRE’s 2026 college speech rankings found women less tolerant than men across ideologies, including less tolerance for their allies. A woman entering kindergarten in 2005 has spent twenty years inside this system—she didn’t invent it, she inherited it. The 35% figure suggests sorting into victim, ally, and predator, with no grey zones. Working-class women, less conditioned by these pipelines, still view men positively (61–36). None of this is entirely new; Gustave Le Bon described the mechanism in 1895.
