Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate, dies at 84 www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar... @nbcnews.com

For more on how conditions at Dilley are affecting children, read my latest for @nbcnews.com

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

But this, here, is the key bit: despite everything they have to say about PA, the court finds that the consequences of proscription on human rights are not proportionate to its benefits. The first ground upon which the government lost is largely procedural. This one is substantive.

Always fascinating to see the judiciary revise the actions of the executive, exactly its role in a functional democracy, Montesquieu in action.

I will bite: from my sixth-form college it was Melanie Sykes.

My band used to practise in Denton and I often went swimming in Gorton. This is surely enough to justify a whimsical political analysis on "the Manchester I know" [ed: it is not]

Me on the bus: "Sorry, nothing smaller mate"

The real fitness challenge is resisting pizza in the newsroom.

Word of the day, for all British-based tweeps. Pluvial: relating to or characterized by rainfall.

14 years ago today. No social media manager. No PR. Just raw unfiltered emotion and heartfelt stream of consciousness for a much-loved and much-missed musical icon. The day the music died and Twitter peaked. @

"Sir Jim - who is a resident of Monaco"

Sam Altman was right - this unironically is PhD-level intelligence

Clever headlines in government press releases, an on-going series

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

A new @nbcnews.com Decision Desk Poll finds 43% want ICE reformed, 29% want it abolished, and 29% want it to continue in its current form. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

This is a useful account for #news

Just learned of a breaking news story via BlueSky. Nature is healing.

Very strange www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Big fan of Nashville police using the thermal imaging camera on a helicopter to find a suspect hiding in a wheelie bin (US: trash can) x.com/MNPDNashvill...

An interesting parallel to POTUS' ongoing dispute with American universities

Interesting news industry reporting from @pressgazette.co.uk with some reasons to be cheerful Amid WaPo woes five US news giants show how industry can grow pressgazette.co.uk/north-americ...

re: the plight of #swfc, admirably covered by the Sheffield Star throughout, why has there been no accountability for Chansiri? No public statement, no inquiry calling for him to answer for what's happened. Don't fans and players deserve at least a response? www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

This widely predicted drop in sales from the EU was rejected as "project fear" by Brexit campaigners 10 years ago. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...

My very basic hot take on UK politics is there is a maximum number of days you can last when the only question people are asking is "will you resign?"

This looks highly unethical election behaviour to say the least

Another year I didn't get invited to a Superb Owl party www.youtube.com/shorts/4VY1t...

POTUS said no one understands what Bad Bunny is saying. About 45 million people speak Spanish in the US, roughly 14% of the population (Census data: data.census.gov/table/ACSST1...)

Children trapped in Texas immigration facility recount nightmares, inedible food, no school www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Today, as yesterday, the Government is trying to govern from a Blue Labour standpoint with a progressive leaning coalition. Locked in by a manifesto that prevents any room for strategic manoeuvre. Whatever those data charts and hero voters said in 2019 it just doesn't work.

Trump wanted Dulles Airport, Penn Station named after him — in exchange for releasing federal funds www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Gonna need to see a bit more detail soon from the Met Police about what exactly is being prejudiced by not releasing these docs when there is no active proceedings or charges.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

This is my kind of Superb Owl coverage www.nbcboston.com/news/sports/...

"Keir's not driving the train. He thinks he's driving the train, but we've sat him at the front of the DLR."

Reform councillors in Kent told the FT that they were surprised not to find lavish spending on wokeness from their predecessors Another councillor has resigned from his role lesding "DOGE", regretting his comments to the newspaper acknowledging the challenges www.kentonline.co.uk/maidstone/ne...

Over the past few months, hundreds of Americans have been pepper sprayed, threatened and detained for attempting to film on their phones the largest crackdown on undocumented migrants in recent American history. An #FTEdit video 🧵 on why ICE agents are so camera shy 👇

Hot Take 2: if this is Mandelson's position, there is no reason for him not to issue a statement to this effect. If he has not issued a statement to this effect, the BBC's "understanding" of his actual position may be inaccurate. Stop letting people play this game.

Spent so many hours listening to him as man and boy - RIP JV

Question about victims of sexual extortion. Answer: "She's a young woman... I don't think I've ever seen you smile."

Attorney for government tells judge in ICE case: 'This job sucks' www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Given there is now an investigation by the UK Information Commissioner's Office and by Ofcom, into the alleged processing of personal information to create sexualised deepfake... Is this a good time for government departments to evaluate the pros and cons of being active on Twitter/X?

This is one way of saying: it's a bit cold in America at the moment.

I cannot fathom this. This is beyond my understanding of what news is supposed to be.

twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse
