Just before the judge arrives at immigration court, attorney Diana Mariscal prepares the dozen migrants for their hearings. She explains in Spanish that there’s a chance ICE will detain them today. But what comes next surprises them all. New longread from Jesse Alejandro Cottrell @sfstandard.com:

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?” “Because that’s what they are” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference. #Newsnight

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

First release of #KVMserver fast per-request isolation for Linux executables using #TinyKVM. In a React page rendering benchmark with #Deno we see overhead of just 10s of µs, far faster than existing alternatives using v8 isolates (ms) or JS in WebAssembly (10s of ms). github.com/libriscv/kvm...

"The last time anyone in the family saw Leon was June 20, when he went with his wife to a Philadelphia immigration office to have his lost green card replaced. There, the family says, he was handcuffed by two officers, who led him away without explanation." www.mcall.com/2025/07/18/l...

George Retes, an American citizen disabled US Army veteran who has been held in federal custody since Thursday, was released without charges this evening. 1/

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

@davidallengreen.bsky.social Agree with your post but think us Brits underestimate how often troops have been deployed within the US. Last time the Marines were deployed to LA in '92 they fired double the bullets of Bloody Sunday in a single incident. www.americanprogress.org/article/dome...

"To the contrary, voters are on average more likely to defect to the radical right when mainstream parties adopt anti-immigration positions, a pattern that has been particularly pronounced for established RRPs."

Would definitely move back to Bake Off Britain. Less sure about Perma Brexit Britain.
