ICE is crushing Minneapolis economy. On the pod, Mayor Jacob Frey tallies up damage:

$203 million overall
$80 million small biz losses
$5 million hotel cancellations
75K people food insecurity

"Impact is staggering," Frey tells us. Bleeding city for being diverse:

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

This Family Made Billions on Trump-Branded Condos. Now Their Private Jet Is Taking Shackled Migrants to a Far-Flung African Prison Israeli-American billionaires Michael and Gil Dezer's Gulfstream IV plane flew 10 migrants to the tiny African kingdom of Eswatini, flight data shows.

Hey guys, I reported the Dezers connection to these ICE flights last October for @zeteo.com. Why are you not crediting me or Zeteo?

Matt Goodwin isn’t the winner Farage thinks he is The academic turned right-wing firebrand is Reform’s candidate for Gorton and Denton. But his ‘Broken Britain’ mantra is unlikely to convince voters

Matt Goodwin must be hoping no one in Gorton and Denton reads his Substack, with its obsession about too many Muslims and civilisational collapse. If only he hadn't picked a constituency which is 30% Muslim. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pop...

If 26 Americans or Israelis or Germans were murdered today, it would be the top headline on every network.

They keep telling you “the war is over” while this happens, because their idea of a peaceful, “normal” order is one where Israel gets to mass murder Palestinians at will.

Tough ol' time for art sales of late and I depend solely on it for a living, so if you like anything I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for friends or family. If you hate what I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for enemies or nemeses.

Náireofar rialtais an AE mura gcuirfear iachall ar Elon Musk a Grok Imagine náireach a chur as feidhm Tá cosaint ar líne de dhíth ar mhná agus ar pháistí ach ní léir fós an toil chun déileáil go tréan le comhlachtaí móra Mheiriceá

Trump, Musk, Grok agus dúshlán práinneach d’ár rialtas agus don AE.

World-famous divorced arsehole Elon Musk making a shit joke about buying Twitter

Some reading for your Sunday morning, especially if you are insisting on remaining on a platform that monetises CSAM.
Staying on Twitter doesn't make you special - let that sink in

A deleted tweet by a Toronto Sun national politics reporter.

Ireland could prosecute Twitter/X for AI 'child porn' deepfakes The horrific child sex abuse material produced every day by Grok is already banned under Irish law. The real test is if we are ready to enforce that law against large tech companies

Thanks @conorom.bsky.social for writing this piece for us setting out the legal position on X and CSAM… in short, yes, they could be prosecuted.

Aldrich Ames the CIA turncoat has died in prison at the age of 84.

Bombs away for Trump, self-proclaimed peace president Donald Trump returned to office vowing to be the peace president. Nearly a year later, he is embracing war on multiple fronts.

Gav, aged 6, playing piano in a 1993 living room. The jumper actually has my name on it. Trust me, it’s very 1993.

It’s that time of year again… and I’m sharing a photo of me from 1993. That’s how seriously I’m taking this.

Going live on Instagram, at 3pm on Christmas Day, to take piano requests. Unplanned, unprepared.

All in aid of the wonderful work of AsIAm.

More than 15 boats with Palestinian flags on their masts sailing.

The Freedom Flotilla will sail again in 2026. Civil society will not stand by while Gaza is strangled and annihilated. We are preparing more vessels, more international participation and more coordinated actions than ever before to #BreakTheSiege of Gaza.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Not doing Black Friday because I'm against the creeping Americanisation of Irish life and can't afford to as a small artist, but WILL be doing Vengeful Hag Friday where for every piece of art you purchase from www.ciaraioch.com/artprints I will fervently wish bad cess to your enemies

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The exit economy is here. Black Women are paying the highest price | Fortune This isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. And it's not a recovery, it's a redistribution of opportunity.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Ronaldo left feeling sick as a Parrott as Ireland’s World Cup campaign finally ignites

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

A real test for politicians and gardaí.

There's been a years-long campaign of arson/attempted arson at IPAS centres - even buildings rumoured to be considered for asylum seekers.

We've had far-right instigated riots in our capital, at CityWest and Coolock; arson at TD's property... (1/2)

A sitting Dublin city councillor has posted a call for "ethnic cleansing". Don't call them far right though

The Gist: Trans rights are Data rights A UK court has made a decision defining genders which has put it at odds with a less noticed, more important, decision from the CJEU. This is the Gist.

New Gist: Trans rights are Data rights

An unusually long Gist on the data protection implications of the UK Supreme Court's decision to define what is the meaning of the word 'woman' in a single UK Act.
