Security comes first in prison. Healthcare comes second. When those priorities collide, people suffer – and the public barely notices. J.J. Jackson pulls back the curtain. eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/health/...

Panic at the torygraph......snowy boots imminent! "Trump has just handed Putin a prize" "Trump has fundamentally undermined the Atlantic Alliance. Soviet leaders always knew that if they invaded any Nato ally, they would find themselves at war with America .. Peace .. depended on that belief. "

I’m in despair. I have read about this. Most people haven’t a clue. I think our PM and the cabinet are politically naive. I have thought that for a long time.

Economic questions: the Thomas Hobbes Question www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/12...

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Hans Christian Andersen was Danish. Hans Christian Andersen wrote "The Emperor's New Clothes". It appears the Danes have never been afraid of calling out bullshit.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

Reform UK, whose only policy is to stop the boats, is packed with Tory refugees. Even then, they have no real plan. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

A wide-ranging UC San Francisco study found that sky-high rents are forcing people into homeless. Middle- and working-class tenants need urgent help. They need rent control.

Farage has made a huge strategical mistake.💥 For the first time in a decade, he's lost control of the narrative. By pulling all these failed Tory ministers into Reform, he's completely destroyed his party's "outsider" image. He's turned Reform into the #ToryPartyToilet

I think this poem best captures the notion of eco-poetics in Isabel Galleymore’s collection Baby Schema Pushing the idea of motherhood, childhood, and baby cutesiness against the environmental crisis of the Anthropocene. #poetry #poemoftheday

Labour announcement today: NHS waiting lists down by 86,000 in one month Reform announcement today: another failed senior Conservative has joined Reform are busy recruiting the people who got the country in a huge mess - Labour is busy clearing it up and renewing Britain

Written not to shame, but to speak; carrying anger that is measured, thoughtful, & deliberately restrained It addresses directly this indefensible act of ego fuelled vandalism, but also carries judgement on our own selfish, fleeting acts that have ecological consequences #poetry #poemoftheday

Every single Democratic MoC needs to have this pounded into their skulls until they understand that ICE has no legitimate reason to exist. None of this shit has anything to do with immigration and we all know it. Dems who continue to pretend it does are worse than useless.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Paywall, so here is what I could find BI Incorporated, an immigrant-tracking subsidiary of GEO Group AI Solutions 87 Fraud Inc.  Gravitas Investigations SOS International Constellation Inc. EnProVera Bluehawk LLC Capgemini Government Solutions Government Support Services

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty.

I BEG every smug commentator who praised Mahmood for doing the “tough but necessary thing” to read this. All the disadvantages of plummeting immigration for the economy & public services, for NO POLITICAL GAIN. Labour in DESPERATE need of a 180 change of course on immigration

Saw this on X. Merlin Strategy, run by Scarlet Maguire (formerly of JL Partners) is Farage's favoured polling company. Until very recently, registered at the same address as the Brexit Party's old one. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
