Douglas Murray blames ‘upside down' LA riots on Democratic Party
Author Douglas Murray says Los Angeles has become 'even slummier' than it was before the city went under 'massive amounts of Democratic rule' amid rioting and protests against ICE. 'The Democrat policy of sanctuary cities, where if people break into America illegally and then are in the US, these cities will act as sanctuaries for them,' Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'The Trump administration has said that they want to prioritise deporting the more than half a million illegal migrants who have criminal records. 'It was a raid to try to arrest criminals in Los Angeles that has led to this outburst of rioting, of attacks on American police and others. 'This is upside down to a crazy extent.'

In Trump's America, even words are under attack
The list, perhaps predictably, starts with the 'A' words. 'Accessible'. 'Advocate'. 'At risk'. Moving through the alphabet, we have 'barrier', 'climate crisis', 'disability', 'equality', and on it goes, before reaching that pesky, oh-so-offensive word – 'women'. ('Rubber bullets' don't get a mention.) If you're struggling to decipher the link between these terms, spare a thought for government workers in Donald Trump's America, who have been encouraged to limit or avoid their use of hundreds of words as part of his war on 'woke', according to multiple media reports. The New York Times first published a list of dozens of words in March, based on a review of government documents. The article said these documents had ordered some words be removed from websites and school curriculums, and that 'the presence of some terms was used to automatically flag for review some grant proposals and contracts that could conflict with Mr Trump's executive orders.' Since then, PEN America, a free expression non-profit group, has continued to add terms identified by other media, and their list now stretches to more than 350 words. If you've been paying attention to Mr Trump's crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion, you may not be surprised to see words like 'Black' and 'transgender' on the list. Others, like 'clean water', are just bewildering. Loading But for anyone tempted to view this as a case of semantics and nerdy wordsmiths tying themselves up in knots, the consequences are already playing out, according to censorship watchdogs. 'We're now living in a country where the government has decided that a sweeping array of everyday terms will now be erased and forbidden in government agencies, websites, or even scientific research proposals,' Jonathan Friedman, Sy Syms managing director of PEN America's U.S. Free Expression Programs, has said. 'These prohibitions on language are utterly chilling, and will impede efforts to research real-world problems and advance human knowledge.'
