Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Next time Reform (ReCon) or the Tories tell you they want a UK version of ICE just remember this. It's abhorrent. It's deplorable and cannot be countenanced.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible. It leads on "sharply contested narratives" It has a dramatic skew to the US government It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

People who personally know ICE employees should start cutting them AND their families from their lives. That's not bullying. It's accountability. There should be no safe haven for Nazis.

Hundreds of photos revealing the faces of those killed during the violent crackdown on protests in Iran have been leaked to BBC Verify. The pictures reveal the bloodied, swollen and bruised faces of at least 326 victims - including 18 women. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@maxrushden.bsky.social @footballweekly.bsky.social never mind Dr Tottenham, what about Senior Consultant Slot and his crack team of ER specialists?

Here is a directory of places that you can donate to as a way to help activists in Minnesota, including the Immigrant Rapid Response fund: www.standwithminnesota.com

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

This should become an election campaign poster for Labour/Libdems/Greens/SNP.

Jesus Wept. Again. This is rapidly becoming my most overused phrase

This is who Labour is giving hundreds of millions of £ worth of our money and our NHS data to: Palantir CEO openly bragging that it is sometimes necessary to “kill our enemies” www.instagram.com/reel/DTUY5LS...

Amidst the regret and recriminations about the events of the last week at Swindon Town, can we spare a thought for Man City? Soundly beaten in the derby at the weekend, beaten again in the Arctic last night and waking up to the awful news they've missed out on seeing Wiltshire's finest in the Cup

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

was briefly so excited reading this until I realised he meant Davos

The next US government should immediately introduce strict gun control. When the 2nd amendment mob start screaming that they need their guns to protect themselves from a rogue government. They can literally tell them to sit the fuck down as the events happening now prove they’re just pussies.

Oh please please please let this happen (and let it be good, or at least not terrible) 🙏 www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/bl...

One of the most horrifying bits of Christopher Browning's book "Ordinary Men," on a group of German Holocaust perpetrators, is the fact that absolutely nobody in the unit Browning researched was ever punished in any way for refusing to participate in massacres. These guys could just say no.

Throwing his toys out of the pram, shows what a petulant little child Trump really is. Leader of the free world? He’s a fuckin’ idiot, living in easily the largest and most expensive nursing home on the planet….

One thing we would do well to learn from fascists is just doing whatever the f we want to do, and doing it quickly so people see it make a difference. Labour have a massive majority.

To my European friends, please don’t take out your anger on the American public. We are your not your enemies. That’s why he’s occupying our cities and talking about launching military strikes on frigging Minnesota. We are victims of an authoritarian coup. Side with us. We’re allies.

To paraphrase history, Bovino is an Italian man looking for a lamppost and an inverted view of the world.

Cancel the Palantir and Oracle contracts as well.

Now is a really good time to relisten to our episode on the Authoritarians. www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/bonus-episod...

Wow, sure would be pretty crazy if a ton of experts in the artificial intelligence field relentlessly warned everyone about this state of affairs being inevitable over and over for years.

So many members of the British Right right now are unmasking and telling us fairly clearly where they would've stood in 1938

This is like a horror movie. This is the machine in every part of DoD now. And its two default functions are sexually humiliating women and detecting Jews. kinda like its creator, and our secretary of “war.”

Murder. Not chaos. Murder.

British politicians work harder for fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv than UK football fans

Here's an update on this story. There were 6 children injured & hospitalized. A child's car seat was flipped over from the impact. The baby stopped breathing! #ICELawlessness & savagery endangers our communities. Ask your neighbors if they think this is freedom. www.fox9.com/news/6-child...

Jesus. These people are monsters

People try to ascribe motives, strategy and logic to Trump but it's not acknowledged nearly enough that he's simply a spectacularly stupid man who happens to be extremely rich and entitled with it and therefore has gained a lot of power. He's a very clear example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

Morning.

Government gives football clubs the green light to continue accepting money from illegal betting firms linked to organised crime. More essential reporting from @josimarfootball.bsky.social

You all need to watch this with the sound on. It’s heartbreaking and absolutely infuriating. They did this to a child.

Curse of Private Equity. Vets under pressure to increase revenue, Six companies control 60% of the UK's pet-care market Prices up by 63% between 2016 and 2023. Vets pressurised to meet financial targets by offering costly tests and treatment options. Govts do nothing. Now handing the NHS to PE.

It's not voters fault. It's the fault of a media which deliberately spreads misinformation.

X is literally making child porn as a service so there really shouldn't be a question to whether or not MPs leave. Bellingcat has.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I can be real with you, right? We're all friends here. I'm publicly releasing this episode for two reasons. First, because people have been requesting I release it for years now... and second, because look at the news. It's here.
