This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

I am *so* happy that people like this exist in the world.

Well worth seeing live if you're in the Brighton area!

Fyi... Down to the final tickets for the #Brighton show on my Spring headline tour. Come along! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! www.seetickets.com/event/kather...

If you ever want a fascinating distraction from the modern world, Coates' threads are among the best.

v1.116 is rolling out now! For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

A protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit is under way at Sydney’s Town Hall. Police have capsicum-sprayed dozens of protesters and members of the media as clashes turn increasingly violent. Live updates: shorturl.at/Wq8BD

Women's Big Air Snowboarding. Wow, just wow! Such incredible athleticism & confidence. Amazing viewing. #WinterOlympics

So unlucky, Kirsty Muir *just* out of the freeski slopestyle medals, despite a terrific final run. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter... #WinterOlympics

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

1. People struggle to reconcile Keir Starmer’s ruthless ambition, Machiavellian manoeuvres, breaking of promises, collaboration in genocide, bans on protest, aid cuts, benefit cuts and war on nature with his history as a human rights lawyer. But perhaps there is no contradiction. Read on.🧵

This evening!

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

Watching the Men's Downhill, RN. Incredibly immersive. Winter Olympics always wonderful to watch. With the advance of video & screen tech., quality & systems in the last few years, I feel that all I need now is a little snow in my front room and I'd be right there. #WinterOlympics

In 2008, Martine Vik Magnusson was raped and killed and her body dumped in a Gt Portland Street basement. Billionaire's son Farouk Abdulhak, who did it, fled back to Yemen the next morning. Here's Jeffrey Epstein seeking legal advice (from an ex-DPP) on how he could be sheltered from justice.

Let's change that...

Thank you for your service. Someone made a mock gmail interface so you can see the Epstein emails and photos as if you’re in the scumbag’s inbox. (Via @setupspawn.bsky.social IG)

It's all so deeply sordid, isn't it? The money, the power, the feeling of invincibility that they all have. The absolute certainty that they can do whatever they damned well choose, to whoever they choose, with no repercussions whatsoever. Sickens me. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The man who sues anyone who hurts his feelings shows he's a racist piece of shit... again

Jesus. After a while, you just run out of words.

I wondered what the scam was. Apparently, many meds available here are generic ones sold at 1/10 of the price elsewhere: bsky.app/profile/spin...

This could really help someone in need who otherwise might not be able to continue their studies. Please do share widely: so easy to repost. 👇

In the Epstein files, Far-right bloated shite Steve Bannon & Epstein discuss the chaos that will follow Brexit. The telling line is the very cause of so much right now. 'The right now has the working class behind them on immigration' Divide the working class - been their plan all along.

Powerful words. For those yet unaware of the context of this, see the following post: bsky.app/profile/azrw...

Try not to :)

I was working with @direthoughts.com when he broke the first stories about Labour Together's funding way back in 2021. Now it turns out they were paying private investigators to investigate him for reporting on them and Morgan McSweeney knew about it democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

This is a no-brainer, really. Easy e-mail form to your local trust and/or Wes Streeting. There are more than enough private companies milking the NHS as it is. Once they've got our data, do you trust them to keep it safe? Do you trust them not to use it to milk us all?

People are saying this is a legacy the likes of which no one has ever seen before. #epsteinfiles

Shell increases debt pile to $45.7bn to continue bumper shareholder payouts. 4% increase in dividends, $3.5bn share buybacks – 17th consecutive quarter of at least $3bn of buybacks. Customers will pay. CEOs appease shareholders who always want more. No govt curbs their power.

Yet another reason newsrooms with serious financial backing are so important: They can simply send staff to see if Nike's claims about working conditions in their factories are true and retain lawyers for Nike's inevitable reaction.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

ICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working. This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose. Let me explain & offer some advice.

Hello teachers. Today I recorded 35 poetry workshops for you to use with your classes. 10 are for Early Years, 25 for KS 1,2 and Year 7. These are to go with the 11 that are already up on our channel. Thanks to @ApplesAndSnakes for support.

Well, if getting to sleep more quickly involves concussion and a chilly night on the bathroom floor, you can count me out, thanks!

Unbelievable

People who make billions out of billions are invariably horrible, vicious, abusive, nasty, bitter human beings who think very highly of themselves and their needs and their pile of money and absolutely nothing of other human beings. If the Epstein scandal has reminded us of anything it is that.

Nigel Farage didn't show up at court today, so we brought the next best thing... 👀 Reform wants your data, so we're suing Farage’s party. Court's over for today, we'll have more news soon so stay tuned
