In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

People power.

Trump's false claims about NATO troops who came to the aid of the US post-9/11, are "insulting and, frankly, appalling." Starmer | www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Wrong? Yeah, he's wrong. And fecking ignorant. And bloody outrageous. He has no truth and no shame. "Trump ‘wrong’ to diminish role of UK troops and Nato in Afghanistan" www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Where's the outrage we saw when Angela Rayner, who paid the wrong amount of tax on a property for her disabled son, & followed poor advice? She had a single breach of code for an amount ~10% of what Farage has tried to tax dodge. When is he going to be made to resign due to media pressure?

Always someone else’s fault. Strange that.

Ah, but you have to send his baggage train out too.

Trump’s Nato troop claim slammed by mother of injured British veteran

Anyone who votes to fund it clearly has no respect for the Constitution or the American people.

The post of an absolute madman.

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.” So, same as Canadians.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

I want to believe that America can recover from the Trump2.0 era, and it probably will, but with 9 more months of Trump's nonsense and his Brown Shirts running our government before the midterms, it's hard to imagine what more damage will be done before American voters can stop him. 🗽

"For some, the mood was closer to group therapy than crisis management. “It feels like a collective relief dinner,” one diplomat said, reports @eddywax.bsky.social "The meeting ended not with reassurance, but with a bitter aftertaste" www.euractiv.com/news/rapport...

Oh, how very democratic, @uklabour.bsky.social @uklabourparty.bsky.social . What are you afraid of? That someone else might do a better job? Starmer’s allies launch ‘Stop Andy Burnham’ campaign to block parliamentary return www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Re Burnham - A note of caution on the three person NEC panel - yes you can stack the panel. But the decision of that panel has to get the nod from the full NEC. The body has intervened to add to the shortlist in the past. So unions will be important. They may decide to show some muscle.

📣 STAND UP, FIGHT BACK 📣 The power of HUNDREDS of Missourians’ voices is overflowing the State Capitol today. And together, we’re demanding that MO lawmakers respect the will of the people! #StandUpFightBack

This is a list of businesses across Minnesota that are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the economic shutdown. Huge thanks to every one of them for stepping up. If your business is also closing, drop it below.

"Who broke Britain? The four horsemen of Britain’s apocalypse - deindustrialisation, privatisation, austerity, and Brexit." Andy Burnham www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Blackbirds, Bluetits, and our pair of Robins in the rainy garden for me this morning 💚

🔥 @RepWesleyBell: "I don't care if my mother is in the Epstein files, we need to see 100% of the Epstein files to ensure that we are doing right by these victims."

Yes please! Andrew Gwynne signs Commons deal that could pave way back for Andy Burnham www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Insane — a French judge says Trump’s goons tried to pressure her over Le Pen’s prosecution and she was so “taken aback” she told the French foreign office “There’s a political project behind all this and we must be vigilant”

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

This’ll go down like a lead balloon. (It probably did at the time)

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

A Cuban immigrant’s death in an El Paso detention center this month was ruled a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the county medical examiner’s office. Federal officials described his death as a suicide.

Which of us can honestly say we haven't broken rules 17 times covering payments of one third of a million pounds? But it's ok, he says it was someone else's fault (presumably an immigrant as he blames them for everything else), he didn't mean to, is sorry & won't do it again. And would he lie to us?

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

No. Far beyond the mere fact of ordinary combat between military forces that Witkoff is trying to pretend is what he was asked about, PUTIN IS COMMITTING WAR CRIMES AGAINST CIVILIANS. That's what's "first of all"; he needs to stop trying to trump the question and give a relevant response.

The US refuses to condemn Russia while Ukrainians freeze without water and electricity. Putin is bombing civilians to break them, and Washington stays silent. Cowards!

Rep. Melanie Stansbury: “Just to be clear, Republicans in the Oversight Committee just voted NO on a motion to hold Pam Bondi & the DOJ in contempt of Congress for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act”

The EU stands firm as the leading global donor. As global crises leave 239 million people in crisis, we are providing €1.9 billion in humanitarian aid in 2026, including €557 million for Africa, €448 million for Gaza and the Middle East, and €145 million for Ukraine. ↓

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The United States government used armed thugs to kidnap a 5-year-old child off an American street, separate him from his dad, traffic him to another state, and sling him into a scary & unsafe concentration camp. "This is not who we are!!!" Yes, unfortunately, it now is.

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

This language from the Royal College of Psychiatrists is almost unbelievable. Almost. I wonder why people with mental health conditions may find therapy less than helpful. As a close relative of a kind, intelligent, trustworthy, beautiful soul, I can say that this negative ignorance is pervasive.

A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

To all my Somali friends: nobody except a hardcore nugget of shits believes this nonsense. You keep being your beautiful selves.

Only 1 day to go until the #BigGardenBirdwatch! Chirpy House Sparrows took 1st place as 2024's most spotted BGBW bird. Will they stay on top? 🏆 Get involved: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

"Stop calling ICE the Gestapo! ICE is nothing like the Gestapo. Now, let me innumerate all the many ways ICE is exactly like the Gestapo. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

There are now at least 100 House members signed on to our effort to impeach Kristi Noem. Where the hell are the rest of them? Let’s ask:
