All Hail, the patron saint of ‘Unhinged Headlines’ received g the respect he deserves.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Don’t let Trump see this

They defend Kyle Rittenhouse and blame Alex Pretti. We cannot go down this road. We cannot have Countrymen against Countrymen, Citizen against Citizen. This is not the America that we believe in. We must unite together, against this very dangerous splintering they want to incite against us. - AOC

Not going to end well is it.

There's a real pleasure in refusing to do things you really don't want to do - I call it a nopamine hit.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

“I am grateful that I was in a position to be there for my community. To stop the lies and the madness, and allow there to be proof.” Stella Carlson, who filmed the killing of Alex Pretti up close, speaks out.

New low for Trump approval today, at 39% of U.S. adults on average across dozens of pollsters. fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

An Injury To All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class will be published by Verso in October! Today I submitted responses to last comments from my editor and worked on the blurb. It's getting closer and closer!

🤣

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Schumer calls for Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to be removed from their jobs.

Here's Billy Bragg's contribution to the genre.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Every evening Mnsgr Hugh O'Flaherty stood on the steps of St Peter's Basilica in view of armed German soldiers, making himself available to Jews, dissidents, deserters & Allied soldiers. More than 4,000 escaped occupied Rome with his help. www.dib.ie/biography/of... #HolocaustMemorialDay #DIBLives

‘The voters outside looked from Reform to Conservative, and from Reform to Conservative and from Reform to Conservative again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.’

🎬 Watched the film "Number 24", a Netflix film on the wartime career of Norwegian resistance leader Gunnar Sønsteby. Excellent depiction of life under occupation in #WW2, the issue of collaboration/resistance and the wartime legacy - plus there's a Radiohead track, too.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Murdered in the street by ICE while peacefull standing up for democracy, as was his right. He leaves behind people who loved him. America, 2026.

Walz: "There's a whole lot of Republicans who for whatever reason cannot find their spine, but they might find the ability to know they're not gonna win another election as long as they live unless they stand up for what's right, the rule of law, and human decency."

Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Very dark times but I have hope that there are far more decent people who will speak up and stand against these atrocities than those prepared to commit or support them We see this in our own lives, although the media makes the bigots seem more prevalent than they are #bbcnews #skynews #cnn #lbc

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Well, it's good Saturday morning entertainment, if nothing else: This failed door-to-door insurance salesman (Chairman of Republicans Overseas) scrabbling to defend his asshole president, but instead getting mauled by Matt Frei on #LBC

A Dutch term for someone who acts tough but is actually a coward is held op sokken. It means “hero on socks.” The phrase originally referred to when, during a confrontation, a phoney tough guy would ditch their noisy clogs so they could retreat quietly in just their socks.

The European's 🇪🇺 looked Trump straight in the eye and told him to go f_ck himself.........🇬🇧🇫🇷🇮🇹🇪🇸🇩🇪🇵🇱🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴🇫🇮🇵🇹 🇮🇪🇳🇱🇧🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇧🇬🇷🇴🇪🇪

Greenlandic politician and former MP Tillie Martinussen: “We do not want to be rich like [USians]. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. We would not sell ourselves.”

My Republican colleagues must take notice: The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize. This is pathetic. It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Starmer delivering a ‘Shit Sandwich’ to Trump First the good stuff Then the bad stuff End with more platitudes #bbcnews #skynews #bbc5live #lbc

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

Flying to Minneapolis tomorrow to cover the ICE raids for News Agents, what is unfolding and the politics which flows from it. If you’re there or know the city and know people/organisations we should be speaking to, please get in touch. DMs open.

Every time I read someone defected to reform I read ‘defecated’ It’s like the ‘uninformed’ policemen in all the detective novels

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

#politicslive Robert Jenrick leaving the Judean People’s Front for the People’s front of Judea is more melodrama than psychodrama Psychodrama is a therapeutic technique; Melodrama is a daft plot for entertainment #bbcnews #skynews
