6/ “When I arrived every night I cried and now I don’t sleep well, I felt that being here was my fault and I only wanted to be on vacation like a normal family.” 9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya, detained on her way to Disney World, spent 113+ days at Dilley.

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

you can’t win anything with kids

the Guardian appears to be running with a ‘hire more women paedophiles’ angle on Epstein www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

This is 100% perjury. The idea that the Treasury Secretary doesn't know anything about one of the most important figures in crypto facilitating a giant bribe to Trump and then getting pardoned is laughable. He would literally be the only person in the finance world who didn't know about it.

sorry maybe this is an unnecessary level of stating the obvious, but sometimes when someone says they don’t think puerto ricans are “american,” it isn’t an opportunity to do a little civics gotcha & tell them about the insular cases. they just mean they think real americans are white.

now hold on just one minute. when I signed on to work for a creepy right-wing surveillance company named after seeing stones used by the dark lord Sauron to manipulate and control others in an attempt to enslave the free people of middle earth I had no idea we might do some evil.

i absolutely hate that there are people on the windows. wtf

"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other people’s children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.

being such a noted defender of women in sport, i'm sure tnt sports presenter laura woods will be appalled, what with her priority of protecting women.

you do not, under any circumstances, have to say a certain marseille player has "got that swagger about him" on a live tv broadcast.

lol

just thinking about living in a community that is being polluted so that Grok can do psychological violence to millions of women

One of the most horrifying bits of Christopher Browning's book "Ordinary Men," on a group of German Holocaust perpetrators, is the fact that absolutely nobody in the unit Browning researched was ever punished in any way for refusing to participate in massacres. These guys could just say no.

The classy move would have been to give Machado the FIFA Peace Prize in return.

This is a heinous war crime and puts all civilian aircraft at risk

We need to understand the 21st century as a window of atrocity. The right vastly expands what is permissible, and the centrists lock it in and legitimise it so that the right can expand the window ever further. I don’t see how any reasonable person can deny this is what has happened.

"Because there is no legitimate war between the two sides, killing any of the men in the boats “amounts to murder,” said Todd Huntley, a former military lawyer who advised Special Operations forces for seven years at the height of the U.S. counterterrorism campaign."

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

Billionaires handing money back and forth, no one creating anything except carbon in the air. Anthropic buys Nvidia chips; Nvidia gives Anthropic billions to buy even more chips; Microsoft gives Anthropic billions, which Anthropic spends on Microsoft Azure, run by Nvidia, etc. An ouroboros of shit.

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day! On this day one man prevented the apocalypse.

lol

melania dressing as the grim reaper to meet a royal with cancer? i begrudgingly have to respect it

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

go on jai!

Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.

oh

Just to point out that they grounded the entire fleet of 737Max aircraft as a precautionary measure

I just don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the public should be worried when a former senior Labour MP, who famously helped General Augusto Pinochet evade facing trial for crimes against humanity including torture, argues that Britain should ‘decouple’ from the European Convention on Human Rights.

If this is not deliberately racialised imagery, it is at best fantastically naive to not understand that it looks & feels like racialised dog whistling to single out this man in such a way.

i can not say this often enough, fuuuuuuuuck keir starmer. disgusting beyond words

Quite something to see the bbc in particular acting perplexed by the rise of English nationalism, and anti-immigrant racism in general, as if they haven’t had that boat nonce reporter permanently camped on the white cliffs of Dover shouting at dinghies for the last decade.

Niemöller was a Nazi. He fought in the Freikorps. He was a willing participant in the Third Reich because he had sought and received assurances from Hitler himself that the Nazis would not go after Protestants. Then he ended up in a Camp. He was wrong. That’s why he wrote the poem.

Standing up for the smallest of minorities is important because when you accept the premise that one group are expendable because small or ‘insignificant’, you have accepted the idea of the expendability of human life in general, and the enemy will use your acquiescence to pick off yet more.

amazing

What this means in practice is that 14K trans people will have to quit their federal employee jobs and find jobs that cover gender affirming care. In other words, this is a purge of trans people from the civil service. Lavender scare. Everyone who participates is responsible

Melanie Phillips is the real life version of the psychotically into-it mom smashing bugs in the fake commercials from Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" except she's not smiling at all, she's fucking miserable, and instead of insects she's trying to stomp children under the age of 2

I don't think Melanie Phillips is necessarily any more hateful than your average Islamophobic Zionist but it's amazing to me that the woman who helped inspire two separate far-right mass murders is also on UK talk radio / TV giving people lectures about the immorality of their anti-white racism

chat, is it woke that the history museum has nothing about the future?

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

IT’S A TRAP….. but for who Chris?!

The Swedish church is currently going over a tiny bridge. Incredible scenes lkab.com/en/events/th...

My theory is that if we taxed most of these people without telling them and the people they pay to manage their money didn't tell them, they'd never notice. And if you'd never notice you should be taxed even more.

David Cameron is objectively the most successful right wing prime minister of modern times because he completely hollowed out the British state and nobody ever notices it
