ID cards are a threat to civil liberties, to data security & risk people’s private info being handed to US tech giants for profit. They’re also a total waste of time and money when the government should be focused on people's real priority: tackling the cost of living crisis. In Parliament today.

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..." www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

Respect to those who got here first.

Another one falls in Kent. Reform has suspended county councillor Robert Ford after a complaint was made about him by 'several female members of staff.' The party said that Cllr Ford refused to engage with the complaints process, so he has had the whip removed pending a disciplinary process.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

Nigel Farage has finally admitted to it. But now there's lots more questions especially considering Rupert Lowes intervention.... leftfootforward.org/2025/10/nige...

Never!

Incredible amount of China-panic over at the other place, apparently they might be trying to influence the UK away from democracy. Funnily enough not mentioned is the other superpower whose leaders have explicitly stated their intentions in that direction.

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor. “He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said. Read more at @windycitytimes.com

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

That New York Times story lots of people are sharing today about Farage's ties to US anti-abortion groups was first reported by @mc00.bsky.social on Byline Times a year ago bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

Amateur hour with the feds!

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

What is it with the Rape-publican Party that they're so obsessed with covering up for rapists? Does it have to do with the fact that rapists are drawn to this party like flies to shit?

Phang: We know that there is a move by 99% of the Republicans locked step with Trump and countless still unidentified billionaires and politicians to keep this from moving forward. How do we know? Because Speaker Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in Arizona Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva…

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Rapists are drawn to the "Republican" Party like flies to shit.

'Our University would do well to stop neglecting the threats to humanities education, and start publicly taking up the banner of the humanities.' Could (and should) be said of so many universities, across the globe.

Release the files....

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

Translation: they gave him a plane and filled his family’s pockets

ICE GOONS, laughing and pepper spraying Pastor after shooting him in the face with pepper balls, proceeded to gas the crowd who were trying to protect him.

Lower Bills. Protect our NHS. And invest in our communities. Let's make hope normal again. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The moment YouTube and Facebook suspended political ads across the EU, the viewership of Viktor Orbán’s flagship talk show Harcosok órája collapsed. For years, Fidesz inflated its reach with hundreds of thousands of euros in paid promotion — funded by the Hungarian government or the party itself

A new week - and a new huge milestone! @greenparty.org.uk now have 100,000 members!!! We are absolutely on track to next overtake the Tories - let's make hope normal again! Join.greenparty.org.uk

You only have to look at the state of the housing market, public transport and post industrial towns to realise that Thatcher was the cause of many current problems.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry. The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Corrupt chancers urged to come up with an economic plan that isn’t utter bullshit. So, no tax cuts and austerity on steroids for a country already stuck in Farage’s Brexit dead end. But hey, some super wealthy industry big (k)nobs will come on board to help con the little guy. (Times)

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

🎉 We've done it. We've passed 100,000 Green Party members! 📈 But we're not stopping there. 💚 Let's make hope normal again! Join the Green Party today!

Pope Leo says that American bishops need to be more vocal and support migrant communities from being abducted by ICE in US cities "Important that we as church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what's going on in some cities in the US" "The church cannot be silent"

Why doesn't the UK media talk about Farage and Russian money?

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning. There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

It's striking that even in the defenses of Bari Weiss's broader thing no one ever says that she or her website does good work. Even the people that admire the success she's had selling lite reactionary shit to rich old guys top out at "people do seem to like it." You could defend Jake Paul that way.

Every bit of this mess that we’re currently enduring is because rich people need more money & they dgaf if you’re hungry or homeless or dead in order for them to get more money

Unidentified masked men terrorizing people including children in America. How is this possible?

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Release the Epstein files. All of them. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

EXCLUSIVE: UNRWA tells the Canary Israel is still mounting a 'strangling siege' on Gaza Despite the ceasefire, aid is still not fully getting in - with UNRWA telling the Canary that 6,000 of its trucks are held by Israel at Gaza's borders www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Over 500,000 people protested against the Palestinian genocide yesterday in London! Yet our corrupt media are falling over themselves to downplay it and instead, they're all over the much smaller march of fascist nutjobs a few weeks ago. The sensible, decent majority is being silenced.

Yesterday in London 600,000 people reflected the Gaza effect: how a global pro-Palestine protest movement met repression and resistance www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/we-o...
