JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Starmer and Labour - if you're going to stand up to Reform UK Ltd, then scrap your own racist anti-immigration policies. #StandUpToRacism

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

👇🏽😳

That Farage reaction in full: "mY fEeLz aRe HuRt sO i DeMaNdZ aN eLeCtiOn" 😂😂😂 Who cares, you Putin-loving public-school grifting ponce? Just because the air is coming out of your tyres, doesn't mean you get to demand that the race start four years early. F-off back to Florida.

That's not an opinion, it's counting.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

for goodness sake labour, just drop us all an email to say you don't want our vote and spare us all this fannying about

Important thread here

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Reform can win the next election on around 30% of the vote. Starmer clearly hopes that most people will vote tactically to keep Reform out so that Labour wins on around 30% of the vote. Risky and cynical. We need #PR BEFORE the next election!

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

😮 “There are dozens, possibly hundreds, of different sorts of galls on oak trees. In Britain alone, more than 70 species of gall wasps are responsible, and each one creates a distinct structure.”

"Rich people can't be taxed," is a myth made up by rich people who don't want to be taxed.

This stays pinned until we have overcome racism. #StandUpToRacism

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

I have been married to my migrant husband for 24 years today. I lived in Italy as a migrant for 9 years. Migration has strong roots in my family and this anti migrant sentiment and racism in UK makes us much poorer. We used to be a country that was admired for being diverse and tolerant.....

We need a Blue Wave so big no amount of gerrymandering can stop it.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Trump's vengeance playbook unfurls: blacklisting feds who dare critique, purging agencies of dissenters, all to choke the beast of accountability from within its own bowels. Tyranny's familiar recipe. #ResistAuthoritarianism

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Fascinating and hugely depressing stuff by @patrickmaguire.bsky.social There’s a void at the heart of Labour: it needs a battle of ideas www.thetimes.com/article/7177...

Cats against fascism…

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Mandatory ID cards are a terrible, terrible idea iandunt.substack.com/p/id-cards-a...

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

UK: pls can we have a crumb of affordable homes and non-cost-of-living-crisis Starmer: so you're saying you want *spins wheel* ID cards

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The perennial myth about migrants eating swans stretches back to at least 2003 when the Sun printed it as a front page story. It was later obliged to clarify that it had zero evidence. Farage must be fairly desperate to be trotting that one out www.itv.com/news/2025-09...

Outrageous.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

Dear Americans, I accept you brought this on yourselves. Unfortunately it has also impacted the rest of us. Have you got any concrete plans to fix the problem? Yours sincerely, the rest of the world.
