In the Oak Park neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan, on November 17, 2025, an ICE goon tased a non-resisting woman and then threw her non-responsive body into his truck like a rag doll.

One of the things that the “immigration debate” in the UK really reveals is how little people actually know about how other people live. So much of immigration policy fails to work, even on its own terms, because it’s trying to solve problems that mostly exist in peoples heads

The American sweet potato was introduced to Polynesia from South America, likely by seafarers crossing the Pacific. It can withstand harsher conditions than taro or uwhi (yam), so its introduction helped early migrants settle cooler southern Polynesia. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Stillerin viisi vinkkiä Ylelle (juttu tilaajille): 1. Ylen budjetin tulisi olla julkisuuslain piirissä eli kaikkien luettavissa. Läpinäkyvyys parantaisi luottamusta Yleen. 2. Tutkivan journalismin MOT-ohjelmaa ei saa uhrata nopeiden uutisten alttarille.

Joulu tulee, mutta kaikilla ei ole siihen varaa. Haastan sut lahjoittamaan johonkin joulukeräykseen omien mahdollisuuksiesi mukaan, että vähävaraisetkin voivat viettää joulunaikaa. Laitan kommentteihin esimerkkejä lahjoitusmahdollisuuksista, näiden lisäksi on varmasti muitakin kohteita. Kiitos!

We Can Now Track Individual Monarch Butterflies. It’s a Revelation. From NYT Science: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/s...

“I think most don’t realize how hard it is to immigrate legally to the United States,” says former senior policy official @margyoh.bsky.social. She explains other surprising facts about the immigration system in a wide-ranging new Q&A:

The Trump regime has fired an estimated 70 immigration judges since February. This is happening as immigration courts face a record backlog of cases. Remember: it was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

Asked if Keir Starmer believes British people want to "see refugee children pulled out of school and deported after 10 years in this country”, his spokesman says that “what the British public wants and what this government was elected on a mandate to deliver was to secure our borders"

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly. The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are. We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box. Reject the hate. Reject them. This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

We unpack how Orbán aligns with Trump, isolates himself in the EU, and undermines Ukraine’s path to victory and integration:

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

This is a Texas Republican who was part of the January 6th mob

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

If these people are ever thrown out of power, I hope we all understand there is no reformist pathway for institutions like this as much as Dems might desperately wish and claim there is.

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

This would be great but it’s kinda funny that Germany would still have a small total force + reserve than Finland (wartime strength 280,000 and total reserve about 900,000) www.ft.com/content/6cbf...

Lasten uutisten mielipidepalsta. 💚 Kuka kertoisi Sipille, että ei meitä aikuisia kiinnosta luonto tai Itämeri, puut tai kalat? Että meitä kiinnostaa ainoastaan raha ja valta? Toivottavasti ei ole liian myöhäistä kun uusi sukupolvi pääsee päättämään. Ja toivottavasti he eivät muutu kaltaisiksemme.

Reading headlines about the US massing forces to Venezuela and ”what is Trump’s aim with the troops ?” reminds me of a certain other country that massed troops at a neighbour’s border 4 years ago and headlines were wondering what Putin’s aim could possibly be

Miten hienosti sanottu! 📚 ”Kaikki suuri, mitä maailmassa on tapahtunut, on ensin tapahtunut jonkun ihmisen mielikuvituksessa, ja se, miltä huomisen maailma näyttää, riippuu suurelta osin niiden mielikuvituksesta, jotka juuri nyt opettelevat lukemaan.” (Kuvakaappaus Wsoyn sivuilta) #astridlindgren

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility
