Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

"Complaint considered resolved with no further sanction due to apology and discussion broadcast on GB News." Ofcom doesn't even merit the phrase "paper tiger". It's a paper kitten. pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/new...

Despite appearances, this is not a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social joke, it's an actual @nytimes.com column by some Claremont hack who praises Hegseth for his "nuanced vision of the military’s purpose and its relationship to civilian society."

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For the snarky minded “why didn’t they say something sooner” crowd: This letter is from 282 of the a total of 5,000+, many of whom RESIGNED. Also DOJ agents aren’t allowed to air grievances publicly ffs. Or even speak to the press.

Why didn't #MerrickGarland sign this letter? Why hasn't #MerrickGarland said ANYTHING since leaving office? Why hasn't #MerrickGarland defended DOJ employees whose lives are now in ruins and the precious "norms" & apolitical DOJ we were told he cares so very much about are torn to shreds? #POS

New on MSNBC: Trump's new acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan has recruited prosecutors from outside her office to take James Comey to trial, after being unable to find any federal prosecutors in her own office willing to pursue the charges, according to two people familiar with the selections.

JFC the man has not one ounce of shame in him. He went to private school and Cambridge. He owns three homes and rents a fourth!

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Shadow DEFRA SoS, Victoria Atkins MP, bemoans those trying to score points off Jenrick's "private" remarks: "These are conversation we must have thoughtfully away from the clickbait of social media that, sadly, is so often the case." And here is Victoria Thoughtful-Atkins at a farmers' protest. ~AA

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Elephants into playing practical jokes on people - who knew? Sentient, intelligent creatures (with GSOH), and we should treat them as such.

She has always been crap ,just as bad Mason.

Dear #BBCNews - you mentioned "clashes" between ICE and protestors, as if the protestors had provoked a response. The aggression is largely coming from one side, and it ain't the protestors. Do better.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

In the UK we now have some of the highest prices in Europe. Just 10 years ago we were among the lowest, particularly for Food and Water. In Europe the prices are high because taxes are high. In the UK it is because billionaires profits are record.

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen. She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented. Almost no one listened to her.

😟 We will not be forgiven, if there's anyone left to pass judgement. And think of all the animals dying from loss of habitat.

"The Voting Rights Act is the most important piece of legislation in American history... It is the thing that makes this country a democracy instead of a white, male, apartheid state. But Chief Justice John Roberts hates it. He has spent much of his career trying to destroy it."

Epstein files are real family values

"Musk’s data centers will probably bring in only a few hundred jobs to Memphis while consuming millions of gallons of water a day and more electricity than is needed to power all the city’s homes. Natural-gas turbines powering the data centers have brought pollution and controversy over their use.."

To make a very obvious point, this is the second Nigel Farage takeover of the Conservative party. Twice he has made what were once relatively niche and hard-right opinions – leaving the EU and effectively ending asylum in the UK - the default view for Tory MPs.

Seeing shocking abuse after abuse wondering what will it take for all the decent Americans left to shut the whole country down and march in the streets every day until they overthrow this fascist regime. You are at that point now.

America 2025. Now an authoritarian state.

Interesting: Leaving the #ECHR would be a grave mistake, writes former UK Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary Sir Robert Buckland KC👇 🔗 conservativehome.com/2025/10/05/r... via @conservativehome.bsky.social

RIP Jilly. Thanks to the RV Rivals bringing new audiences to her work, she went out on top.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized. We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon. She issued that order

Antifa membership perks for 2025 are available now! ✊️

Trump's redecorated Oval Office is to the original Oval Office as Kim Kardashian is to Audrey Hepburn. Or maybe Katharine Hepburn.

@adambienkov.bsky.social This is the immigration enforcement process Jenrick and Badenoch think the UK should be emulating.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Miller has Fascist Hissy #3 today after another court ruling. This one from a judge appointed by radical left marxist Donald J Trump.

The sort of people the administration calls 'terrorists' : "[the 84 year olds] were rushed by federal officers “for no apparent reason.” She said her husband was leaning on his walker and wearing his Vietnam veterans cap as he was pushed to the ground."

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts. Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

wtf is he even talking about? I mean AI can be wrong but approximately 7K law enforcement in Oregon vs. 14K (less with firings, but still not yet half that) in the FBI. This guy just pulls stuff out of his ass and as a result is not surprisingly full of 💩

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Another day of Reform UK silence on Nathan Gill. Nigel Farage Richard Tice Dr David Bull Paul Nuttall All served as MEPs alongside him, all members of UKIP and Reform UK. Did they know? The silence is deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

Just not sure, really not sure, that I'd follow Kemi Badenoch as an example of the USA as a country that is protecting human rights without being in the ECHR.

As Argentina’s economy starts to rapidly unravel, let’s never forget the comments by our own politicians. Ta.

Just noticed the Conservatives’ British ICE proposal also involves using mass deployment of facial ID – still an unproven and unreliable technology that particularly struggles with non-white faces – to enable deportations. Which would inevitably mean false positives leading to detention of citizens

Shocker of all shockers...

CNN: RFK Jr.’s HHS killed a research grant to investigate vaccine safety, then asked the researcher to publicly present results by @megtirrell.bsky.social bit.ly/4mMpZbC

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans. ICE is terrorizing communities.
