The percent foreign born in the US is the same now as late 19th/early 20th century. But this had little political effect at the time. The big issues were inequality, worker rights, and corporate concentration. Same as today, really. Immigration is a distraction.

US immigration agents detain two-year-old Minnesota girl: ‘depravity beyond words’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I’m struggling to find the right words for the heartbreak and rage of seeing a five-year-old child detained by ICE. But I’m not surprised. Trump’s political agenda has always been to terrorise the most vulnerable. This is the reality of far-right rule, and it’s what Reform wants in the UK.

NEW: Over 2,000 clergy members from around the country signed onto a letter to Congress, demanding an investigation into ICE agent Jonathan Ross’s killing of Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis.

Grateful to the folks at Mini Super La Chiquis for the warm hospitality today. Let’s keep showing up for our neighbors, Minnesota.

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades. Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in. Cashing in on cruelty.

We’ve been warning for weeks that the Trump Administration’s dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to public safety.

Sending our congratulations to @andrea4gs.bsky.social on her election as General Secretary of UNISON. Our thanks to Christina McAnea for all her work within TULO and the wider movement to win a New Deal working people and deliver the Employment Rights Bill.

This week is #TransAwarenessWeek. Trans people have the same right to freedom, joy, safety, and healthcare as everyone else. But in the UK and across the world, their rights are under attack. We need to stand up to transphobia and guarantee everyone’s dignity.
