Meanwhile, fully 1% of the population are estimated to be living "sans papiers". "It works well". No it doesn't.

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government. FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

“Marcos Charles, ICE field office director of enforcement and removal operations, said "violent rhetoric" against ICE has to stop.” Calling ICE the Gestapo isn’t violent rhetoric. It is a mere statement of fact. Glad it upsets their boss so much though.

Is Farage Trump‘s mini-me or is Starmer?

A Israeli academic asked his followers on X which sanction would really convince ordinary Israelis that they are isolated internationally. "Expulsion from football tournaments" was the most popular answer, followed by "ending visa-free travel to Europe"

Noem: “Comparing ICE Day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences. The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters.… Like everyone else, we just want to go home to our families at night.“ Where they assault their wives, I bet?

Tired of asking what's wrong with @darrenpjones.bsky.social

"You are being photographed. Get your tongue out of your nose." "That's better."

Dystopian or working as intended or both.

Beautiful. Saw some in Chicago a decade ago. Mesmerising.

In other news, fuck ableism in all its work guises into a big fucking ditch. #FuckAbleism

So much for privately. Semi-privately? 🙄

"Untreated sewage and waste water continuously discharged for eight days during prolonged rainy weather". Rainy weather? In the Lake District? What a shock! United Utilities is a greed-driven disgrace. The Environment Agency is a waste of space. #NationaliseWaterNow! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Noem: “Comparing ICE Day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences. The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters.… Like everyone else, we just want to go home to our families at night.“ Like those ICE kidnapped? Fucking Nazis.

UK set for highest inflation in G7, OECD says. Real average wage hardly moved since 2008. Profiteering is the main cause. Start with controlling price of energy, water, rents. Even better nationalize energy and water, build social housing.

And I worry about my parking. 😂😂😂

Too many women with endometriosis face years of pain and delay before diagnosis. I support the call for a National Endometriosis Registry to improve care and reduce postcode inequality. Women deserve better. I spoke to The Bolton News about this www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/2547126...

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Seriously how hard is it to say “This is an outrageous attack on our friends and neighbours who are in this country legally and have followed all the rules to get settled status, who are valued members of our communities, get to fuck frog-face”?

Marie-Therese Auffray, painter (1912-1990); from a series entitled Singularites. Pretty creepy, tbh.

For Christ’s sake, @darrenpjones.bsky.social, just say it is wrong!! Do you really want to be remembered for this??

"Make Britain an empire again" is the most straightforward way to understand today's far right politics in England. That it won't ever happen as imagined is entirely beside the point. The imperial heart wants what it wants and what it wants is colonised subjects back in their proper place.

If you're a Lib Dem prepared to countenance ID cards, look at these two headlines side-by-side and give your head a wobble. And then think about the impact on the Trans community. They won't be about accessing services, they'll be about identifying certain segments of the population. #LDConf

I think this argument (see picture) by Jamelle Bouie, and the points that followed from David French, are exactly right. The right has gotten the idea that politicians and elites control American culture in a very top-down way. This is mostly, as Bouie says, "a bit of projection"...

Says Mr Facebook. Fuck off.

Strand of the Risle, Pont Audemer, France. (Was that overhanging box once a toilet?)

beneath the bravado of evil there’s *always* a shrill, panicked undertone. the louder evil boasts about its dominance, the more weak and frightened it sounds. because evil knows it has already lost and is doomed to vanish. all that shrieking at the podium today? the cry of the Eternally Defeated.

“He was a strong supporter of gun rights, vehemently opposed abortion, was critical of transgender rights and promoted false claims about Covid-19.” Is this the best the BBC could do in describing why Kirk was disliked? No racism, no doxxing, no dehumanising, no lies, no misogyny? Try harder.

Truly vomit-inducing. “While he energised young conservatives, his remarks on issues such as race and crime also routinely prompted an angry liberal backlash.“ 1/2

BREAKING NEWS: President attends Horst Wessel Memorial

Proud to contribute frontline testimony to tonight's enraging @itvx.com documentary "The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money". Boris Johnson's govt squandered £8.7 billion on unusable PPE, while grifters like Michelle Mone made millions. Tonight, 10.15pm, ITV1. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

What a fucking waster.

Today I met Melanie, a book seller, her porch, her barn, her many sheds filled with her volumes.

Just unfollowed a local news station bec I don't want to have posts with pics of human remains in my face right before bed. Or ever. The dead deserve dignity.

Oh, just fuck off, will ya!

"Remote Control” By Barry Blitt The New Yorker’s cover for next week.

It’s Mooby!!

“Antifa - a decentralised, leftist movement that opposes far-right, racist and fascist groups - has long attracted Trump's ire. But experts have been quick to question how the president will actually target the group, which lacks a distinct leader, membership list or structure.” Very Keyser Soze.

The power elite has drawn up the drawbridge www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/09... Wealth and power hid from view in a castle yesterday, too frightened to be seen by the population at large. Any society where those in charge realise that has to happen cannot last for long.

What a malarkey!

I had never seen this passage from Orwell on the sort of person who very abstractly adores political violence—often from the safety of a polity where such violence is significantly contained—and it is resonant and brilliant.
