semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

'Anyone who endangers our police officers and soldiers must be neutralized.' A very cool and normal thing to say with no sinister implications.

Minnesotans still out and about today finding the feds and alerting the community, whistles and honks ringing out in Uptown currently. Were driving elsewhere just now when we happened upon another caravan.

That's the magic of the cup!

Macclesfield defender Sam Heathcote is a teacher and was back in school on Monday, just two days after beating Crystal Palace in the FA Cup's greatest upset 😲 He quite rightly received a hero's reception 👏

#GVerse The Black Panthers have re-entered the chat! The Panthers are a revolutionary socialist group that fed & protected the community. They were such a threat to the dictatorship of capital they were falsely labeled “terrorists.” Their reemergence is necessary.

Farage accused of ‘parroting Kremlin lines’ after remarks on UK troops in Ukraine

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

Paul Verhoeven undefeated in creating a movie that flies right over the heads of the people it’s making fun of

Can verify based on friends I've talked to. A friend who is a *Canadian* immigrant carries his passport and is asking neighbors in his building to not let in anyone they don't recognize. Other people report residential neighborhoods that are empty of parked cars; everyone who can get out, has.

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command

Tommy Robinson calls for a foreign power to invade Britain to overthrow our democratically elected prime minister. He is a Britain-hating traitor.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

I’m in several online travel groups, mostly for typical European destinations. Without fail, 70% of the posts are white Americans asking about all the crime. How to avoid the crime. How to eat without being crimed. Crime, crime, crime. What is wrong with people? Don’t answer that.

depressing but this increasingly just the lesson for every single servant and every aspect of american life

“Do you believe … that the civil rights protections that Americans had, starting in the 1960s and so forth, resulted ultimately in the discrimination against white men?” The New York Times asked. "White people were very badly treated ... it was a reverse discrimination.” trib.al/6LPIZt1

I swear ‘Sinners’ was totally snubbed at the Golden Globes 😡 How in the world…??

and skipping trials all together and just declaring defendants guilty would do it even faster! shall we do that??

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly sues the Pentagon over attempts to punish him for his warnings about illegal orders.

Very important. Calories, steps, likes, points... Numbers are dangerously addictive.

Just ran down here to try to catch this protester, and instead arrived just in time to see DHS agents fire pepper balls, pepper spray and some sort of flash-bang-in-the-air thing at protesters. They also arrested a guy in a leopard suit.

"Moises" shares, "It was 29° in Sunnyside WA when we arrived at 6:30am this day to begin pruning cherry trees. It is so cold it's hard to feel your hands. It's a hard job. We must balance on a ladder cutting branches with heavy shears. We earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

Princely burial with horse unearthed at Sizewell C excavation

You need a long view to assess academy performance but eight years of Mertesacker have been extremely impressive. Good work toughening the players he inherited early on (EFL Trophy for Saka etc) and now a string of real talents came all the way through over last 2 years. A real loss for Arsenal.

A massive loss for Arsenal - the end of an era. When you consider everything he's had to contend with in the last 8 years - departures at every level of the club, a pandemic, Brexit-rule changes - he's brought incredible stability to the Academy. Big f*cking shoes to fill. Proper send-off needed.

Arts festival in doubt after Ardern joins boycott over axing of Palestinian writer

In Graham's numbers aren't a lie, he makes at least 75K a year from Substack. For four years, 70-75% of his Substack was written by an unpaid woman. When she "retired" last year he "employed" another woman to write. She has now quit. Still, his followers don't care. They pay him for existing.

Are government agencies, universities, political parties, national broadcasters, etc about to depart X?

#OtD 12 Jan 1902 Spanish revolutionary bar worker, María Mateo Bruna, was born. With the outbreak of the civil war she helped build barricades in Barcelona and then worked in the popular collectivised bars and cafés stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8393...

'The find, which dates to the 6th or 7th century, comes with extraordinary grave goods such as swords and shields, while the horse burial is remarkably similar to the one found at Sutton Hoo’s Mound 17.' A day's ride from Sutton Hoo... Exciting stuff from @cotswoldarch.bsky.social.

At least 25,000 New Yorkers showed up to protest yesterday. We stand in solidarity with Minneapolis, we demand justice for Renee Nicole Good, and we call for ICE to get out of our cities.

The pet I’ll never forget: Dory the 10kg rabbit, who saved me from a diabetic coma

Few people in power deserve more credit for this than Sarah McBride

Mark Ruffalo telling USA Today that the black-and-white pin he's wearing was in honor of Renee Good. He also speaks out against the war in Venezuela and calls Trump a pedophile and a rapist, 'the worst human being'

There is a lot in this interview. Quoting to amplify specifically that at the end they report the ICE agents saying, “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch.” ICE agents appear now to approve of the killing of Renee Good as an act of terrorism committed by them collectively

Sorry, Trump and Farage – London is no lawless ‘warzone’. Violent crime is lower than ever | Sadiq Khan

Glad to see Sex Matters being held to account here. They have been actively working to dox as many trans athletes in the UK as they can. It's appalling, Nazi-adjacent behaviour and anyone who supports them should be ashamed.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.

Is anyone going to ask Keir Starmer why four months ago he hired someone on the board of a charity with such poor governance that it has been under investigation for GDPR non-compliance for the past year?
