all my pedos gone 😪 /s

In this post, I explain why the major questions doctrine provides additional reason to reject Trump's claims of sweeping detention/deportation power under the Alien Enemies Act, which he claims is triggered by illegal migration and drug smuggling: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

i want to put this in front of conservative pundits who defended this raid bsky.app/profile/raws...

We are off the cliff folks

Shabana Mahmood on the BBC this morning talking about desperate people fleeing war and persecution as being given a "golden ticket" and "handouts" and saying she's got a "moral mission" to take them away from them Indistinguishable from the rhetoric of Reform www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/shabana-ma...

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

This statement not acceptable and I suspect not sustainable. Large majority of public support principle of asylum, support letting people stay permanently. Majority for that among Labour and other progressive parties’ voters is overwhelming. The Reform voters this is aimed at will never vote Labour

Someone should ask Starmer and Mahmood whether they think the Kindertransport, for example, should have been a return ticket. Whether Alf Dubs, rather than becoming a Labour MP and now Lord, ought to have been sent back with his family to Czechoslovakia once it was liberated from German rule.

One of many things that is utterly pathetic about corporate media in the US is its refusal to report simple facts about international law when they think powerful people in the US would be offended. It's cowardice, plain and simple.

Wife: It is interesting that the biggest papers and networks burned decades of hard work by others who built up their brands to bend over immediately for Donald Trump because they thought he would be a successful dictator and 10 months in he's flailing. Those people have the worst business instincts

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

please don't do this. MAGA hats are made from an acrylic blend, which will release toxic chemicals when set on fire, potentially harming you and downwind woodland creatures

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in. Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

At a rugby club in small-town Leicestershire. This was on the window ledge in the toilet. Fearing the worst, I scanned the QR & opened it in an incognito window… It’s a link to Amnesty International’s explainer on asylum & refugees 😍

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

Great that personal bribery has become the default way to get deals with the world's richest and most powerful country. Really positive development.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

The staying power of this and the actual political threat it’s posed to trump has honestly stunned me No, I am not placing a bet on it finally being the thing that brings him down politically, BUT that this won’t just go away is fascinating me, and infuriating the nominal leader of the free world.

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power. The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Why the BBC should not counter-claim against Trump, whatever he calls them, unless as a last resort.

what the actual fuck is wrong with American journalists?

The Trump administration is canceling a Biden plan that would have required airlines to pay passengers cash when their flight is disrupted and it’s the airline’s fault. This would have put money back in Americans’ pockets. Not anymore.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A brief thread on Trump renewing his threat to sue the BBC. (Note I am not an American lawyer, this is perspective of an English legal commentator.) >

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees, either - it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents or - it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

To explain briefly: at the moment people successful in their asylum claims get permission to stay in the UK for 5 years, then have to apply for permanent residency. At that point a review of their status is done, but it’s rare not to succeed at that point unless they‘ve committed an offence 1/

Does life parody art or the other way around?

A British court has ruled mining giant BHP liable for a deadly dam collapse in Brazil a decade ago, which sparked one of the world's largest environmental disasters on record.

WE WON!!! The US District Court for the Northern District of California has issued a preliminary injunction in AAUP et al v. Trump et al (the wall to wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of Title VI to reshape the University of California system. Read the order here:

If Trump still sues the BBC, notwithstanding their apology, he is in a far less strong position than if the BBC had not apologised. The apology was tactically a sensible, prudent move by the BBC whether Trump sues or not.

Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he hasn’t ruled out a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell

Trump says he will sue BBC for between $1 billion and $5 billion despite apology www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

WAIT.. I thought tariffs weren't a tax and did not raise prices? If so, as they told us, then why lower them???? *** Trump lowers food tariffs aimed at reducing grocery prices www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news...

Trump pulls his endorsement of Marge Greene, says he is done with her for good, says she’s “a raving lunatic”, and he’s going to endorse someone to run against her. The Epstein Meltdown continues.

Both parties should support this. Using AI to generate a video of a candidate saying something he didn’t say should be illegal. Especially since many voters think it is real. I will condemn any candidate from either party who does this.

Great news, Kentucky – we’ve finally received the go-ahead to fully fund SNAP benefits for Kentuckians who rely on this assistance. Once again, our team will work through the night tonight, with the hope our families can see those benefits hit cards tomorrow. 1/2

Even as someone who has been openly Christian and spent my entire academic career in the Northeast US, I can count on one hand the number of times I have been marginalized by peers for my religion. Actually I can't because I don't know how to use my hands to count to zero. It has never happened.
