I don't want to upset the "England Always Bad" contingent, but these have been the most consistent teams this tournament & it sucks they battled it out in the quarters tbh. England did well and this is the best performance at a tournament from England in a while imho I just want the villainous Argentines to fall now. That's all I actually want.

Noooooo 😭 Messi scoring, game over imho

Poor Croatia, clung on to dear life until the bitter end LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO CHAOS

Progressive candidates are now leading in their races - including those championing police reform. (The two YIMBY candidates were crushed.)

The @nytimes published a story last week about the CA primary being referendum on progressive police reform policies. We need a correction. "Chesa Boudin was a referendum on California progressives' policing policies!!,” crowed the @nytimes.

Meanwhile, a city 4-5x larger than San Francisco is handing a progressive who brazenly challenged police budgets with billboards across the city a 15-point lead. #correction

I look at the overwrought debates among my British lefty friends about the state of Labour and think they're overthinking things. From a distance, it feels very simple - Labour are reaping what the right of the party and their allies in the media sowed for 5 years. That's it. Electoral outcomes are overdetermined, and the state of Labour now is the aftermath of 2019:

- Corbyn was the victim of an obscene volume and quality of attacks in the media
- The rightwing of the party sabotaged him from day one
- Liberals deliberately made Brexit a wedge issue

So #AB1482 passed in the California State Assembly. The bill is a huge step in the right direction. It is also not enough. HUGE HUGE shout-out to all of the tenants across the state, including so many of my friends, who worked their butts off to get this anti-rent gouging bill through the Legislature. We can and will do so much more still to get REAL rent control
