ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

The British press, ladies and gentlemen

he's a bomber, just like the other ones

brown is the guy who bailed the banks out rather than take control of the commanding heights of the economy. He could have had his foot on the banksters necks.

I actually went and checked it really said this…

Obviously they were too cowardly to go on record - I mean, who'd want to admit publicly to being "pro-Starmer" - but yes, the person this unnamed Labour MP hates most in politics is @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Out of all the people to choose 🤔

In 1927, Donald Trump’s father was arrested after a Klan riot in Queens On Sunday, Trump declined to disavow the support of white supremacists.

In light of Trump’s post yesterday, some history:

“On Memorial Day 1927, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested. One of those arrested was Fred Trump.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix...

One of the reasons that the media still doesn’t really take the Epstein stuff seriously is that, in their eyes, it’s just an extension of what they’re aspiring to.

In the early days of Hitler's rise, he had the support of a group called The Association of German National Jews. They were mostly conservative business people who liked his law & order platform. They went to the same camps as Jews who didn't support Hitler.

That's what Black MAGAs remind me of.

A minister added "if we do come third the PM is in trouble.,

Yet again a Labour minister lets the cat out of the bag. They are expecting to come third in Gorton and Denton.

Only the Green Party can stop Reform.

Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Magdalen College commemoration Ball poster from 1964. Freddie and the Dreamers top the bill. The Stones are fifth.

They didn't even top the bill

He’s a lawyer. He knows how to weigh evidence. He is lying.

“I was fooled”. That’s a good reason to quit. Unfit for office if he can be fooled so easy.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Great work by @manchestermill.bsky.social

As election at a dozen elections & hundreds of candidates, I would just note that is about the biggest no-no there could possibly be for an agent and for the party. The imprint is the first and last thing you check before allowing a leaflet to go out.

Exclusive: Reform UK just broke electoral law in Gorton and Denton People across the constituency thought they were getting a letter from a concerned pensioner, they didn’t know she was working for Reform

Looks like the effectiveness of electoral law may be facing a test:

Luigi Mangione surrounded by flames grinning with the text Repent or Perish

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

if someone sends an email that needs summarising without prepending a summary they should be fired.

having just sac I mean asked the west mids chief constable if he might like to resign for using the output of a bullshit engine at work, mrs wobblehead wants everyone to emulate him.

7 hours later, will this person ever return?

good god.

Once you start noticing that the press can easily produce an endless series of expats from countries America is about to attack (again) who are loudly in favour of bombing, it becomes difficult to stop noticing.

How ICE is using facial recognition in Minnesota Mobile Fortify tech being used to scan faces of citizens and immigrants – but its use has prompted a severe backlash

didn't the local gangsters inform the yanks (pejorative) about the location of opposing gangsters so as to save themselves the bother?

the weakness of the American state consisted of them not dealing with jan 6.

the wagner mutineer - died in a plane crash was it?

jimmy lai in the news for having his newspaper give instructions on the overthrow of the state - locked up.

bolsanaro attempted a jan 6 event - 27 years

trump - nada.

Yes. Dad is an editor for the Spectator after decades at BBC. Mum is arts critic for Observer, also ex-BBC. The kid is clearly trying to build her own brand.

Okay, so this now looks a lot like the Slippin’ Jimmy thing from Better Call Saul: walk into the bar then do a flying header into the fire extinguisher, and phone your lawyer. Again, it’s a nexus of: well-connected wingnut cranks, the Times newspaper and billionaire legal funding.

This by-election has Caerphilly 2.0 written all over it. Constituency where the pundits will only talk about Reform, despite 65% of the electorate having no history of right-wing votes, then get shocked when voters reach for the nearest progressive alternative with Labour having fucked it
