"In the face of the G.O.P.’s white identity movement, progressive racial politics is becoming a liability. Many white people simply do not see a place for themselves in a Democratic Party that often feels organized not for the benefit of Americans as a whole but for a coalition of identity groups instead":

Opinion | To Beat White Identity Politics, End Democratic Racial Politics

The way Democrats invoke race in politics is making it difficult to face off with an increasingly white nationalist G.O.P.

John Harwood: "The welcoming America of the Statue of Liberty has always competed with the fearful America of white Christians trying to preserve their control. Donald Trump wants America's identity to be defined by that fear. Most Americans don't."

‘A voice against injustice and bullshit’: 50 years on, Brisbane’s 4ZZZ radio station refuses to be silenced

Once ‘a lone voice of resistance’ in a conservative city, the community station has survived eviction and Queensland’s Joh Bjelke-Petersen government to deliver half a century of radical politics and local music

@nickperks @danneidle In addition to the difficulties for vulnerable people highlighted contacting the HMRC is a bit of a nightmare.

When you phone them you first have to listen to a very long message that basically tells you that the web site it quicker, the preferred meads of contact, and can probably do what you want (you've probably already spent an hour convincing yourself that it can't).

Then you have to go through a long list of options that are confusing, I mean is it a PAYE or tax code query?

Then you need to wait and listen to music for half an hour at least, before getting an answer. Once you get through I've found the staff to be really helpful and genuinely try to sort things out, but this might involve you having to be put through to another department or supervisor, with another half hour listening to music.

I don't blame the staff, they're obviously under resourced.
