Sorry ... what the actual fuck?!

I would love to know the percentage of MPs who have their password on a post-it note on the monitor. I would also like to know every MPs level of media/tech literacy. It would be eye-opening.

one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen

The 3 stages of being a Celtic fan during any transfer window.

creasy voted for refugees to wait 20 yrs before applying for perm. residency in the uk, status being more regularly reviewed & halved in time, easier for returns forced returns, loss of fam reunification rights, removal of support for asylum seekers, fast tracking removals & cutting appeals process

"You have to admit that it's a bit suspicious that insurgencies keep springing up everywhere we're trying to occupy" - Guy who claims Art of War as his favorite book.

Watch how quickly and easily the shift is from “Sir Keir is the shit hot, deeply respected flag-molesting authoritarian bastard that Britain begs for” to “This clueless, useless piece of shit could not put his trousers on the right way round while reading an instruction manual for trousers”.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

You not enthusiastically hailing my belated, sour, minimal, crabbed, peevish, grudging admission that you were right about where things were going is the real fascism.

I'm not a gun guy, is holding a shotgun with your dick while you fumble with a smoke grenade considered good trigger discipline?

I am old enough to remember the last republican president famously deploying "You're either with us or against us," and calling Americans opposed to his disastrous foreign policy decisions "terrorist sympathizers." But sure, man. This is Putin.

i think the "immigration turns high trust societies into low trust societies" people were already on really shaky ideological ground but now they're watching neighbors helping one another and calling them paid antifa agitators

she's saying this cause ICE wants to leave and they wanna look like they're leaving cause they won, not cause they're cold and scared. they dunno if the next killing is gonna set off the powder keg, or the one after that, but they do know they have no way to stop their guys from killing if they stay

Perhaps the perfect example was last May, when Starmer told the papers with liberal readerships that he regretted quoting Enoch Powell, and told the papers with conservative readers that he was proud of quoting Enoch Powell. And seemed to genuinely believe people would not see both.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Can't imagine why people think this stuff is all fake bullshit thrown about by liars.

Where are the trees? We have A LOT of this landscape and less than 4% native woodland. This should be a rich mosaic of habitats, moor, bog, woodland, montane scrub…We force it to remain in this artificial state. We don’t need to give every inch of our uplands over to sheep, grouse and deer stalking.

Hokkun is a minimalistic orange mascot from Shimonoseki City, inspired by the oranges and sunsets there.

As angry as we might be at Democratic leaders, we are still not angry enough.

The exhibits about slavery at the President’s House in Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park have been removed amid pressure from the Trump admin www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

Get the rocket built. Spare no expense

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

If the Chinese government wanted to know UK military secrets or sabotage our infrastructure they could just bung someone in the cabinet a ticket to see some mid washup from the 90s in concert

me (bursting open my apartment window like ebenezer scrooge): you there, boy! did it happen? boy (gloomily): no sir

the bit of Mark Carney's Davos speech where he openly admits "yeah we knew the International Rules-Based Order was a lie but we went along with it because it was useful to us" is really funny because for years I've been having people call me a stupid tankie conspiracy theorist for saying this

Things are especially normal at the New Statesman this week, where nobody is suffering some kind of dissociative crisis

The Beautiful Bird Revealing the Unknown to a Pair of Lovers (from the Constellation series) https://www.wikiart.org/en/joan-miro/not_detected_227933

I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely “escape” to the roof of police HQ and “commit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.

Before we get too relaxed about this only being targeted at criminals, let’s consider what this government considers to be very criminal

One of the most horrifying bits of Christopher Browning's book "Ordinary Men," on a group of German Holocaust perpetrators, is the fact that absolutely nobody in the unit Browning researched was ever punished in any way for refusing to participate in massacres. These guys could just say no.

Hi it's me, author of "Fuck Unions: Why Dems Need To Destroy Those Dirty Sweaty Hogpeople" back with my latest book, "Gone Woke: How Democrats Lost Their Connection To The Working Class"

at this point i will defect to whatever country invades and deposes donald trump this is just getting too embarrassing and disgusting

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

ICE agents only do this because they are extremely well-trained and experienced with the situations they are creating

i hate fascists i hate pro-fascist propagandists i hate fascist apologists i hate fascist appeasers i hate apologists for fascist appeasers i hate how much hate i have in my heart

Whenever someone insists more training is the answer you need to keep going "What does a better trained neo nazi do? What does a stormtropper get better at with more training?" because the answer is always, and only, "They get caught less".

Keir Starmer responds to the sacking of far right activist Robert Jenrick, by saying he was in favour of open borders.

I think seeing headlines about the "corbynite police" come out this week shows we're never going to get past it, tbh. We are the villains of history and these heroes will never forgive us for shitting in their pants.

A 21-year old anti-ICE protester has been left permanently blinded in California after a Department of Homeland Security agent shot him in the face with a nonlethal round at point-blank range on Friday. trib.al/V6hRQpr

These greasy little incels are jacking off as they post Nazi quotes to the official account of the Department of Labor just to gain clout in a Telegram channel named “Holocaust 2.” They can’t brute-force racism into coolness and that beta flop sweat is bleeding through to the entire administration

i love how the one guy instantly recognizes that this agent has never seen black ice before and tells him to go home

The core problem being that “Let’s just burn more libraries, jettison more poor people and whip the staff harder to ensure the engine stays running for a bit longer” has been most of the plan for about 17 years and, as you can see, it has been a cruel, ugly, slapstick disaster.

they say a picture is worth a thousand words. in this case the words are "get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get fucked lol get f ... (1/3)
