Gee, Russia offering to help the USA sink NATO ships. How utterly unsurprising.

This is why they donโ€™t want to allow anyone to inspect these ICE facilities. Theyโ€™re beating these people, theyโ€™re starving these people, and theyโ€™re sexually abusing them.

Reading through the FT at the moment is a strange experience: revolution, war, disaster, brutal autocratic oppression, mad dictator shit....and then "markets continue to thrive"; "record profits".

Infographic titled โ€˜Londonโ€™s homicide rate is lowest in recorded history.โ€™ A line chart shows Londonโ€™s homicide rate per 100,000 residents from 1997 to 2025. Rates peak around 2003 at just under 3.0, then steadily decline with small fluctuations, reaching 1.1 in 2025. Text highlights that the rate is 55% lower than in 1997. Caption notes targeted measures led by the Mayor and that this is the lowest per-capita rate on record despite population growth. Sources: Metropolitan Police Service and Office for National Statistics.

NEW: London has recorded its lowest homicide rate since records began.

The evidence is clear - our approach to tackling violent crime is working.

An update to my suggestion about livestreaming your videos.

That is not the best way. You need the video in YOUR possession. The apps she's suggesting include:

Copwatch
Siri I'm Getting Pulled Over

But the most important thing: record EVERY interaction.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.

The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.

Federal Agents Are Violating the Rights of Americans ICE and the National Guard are acting with impunity.

The transformation of ICE into a type of national police force, backed, in some cases, by soldiers from the National Guard, has been covered as immigration storyโ€”but these forces are reshaping democracy for all of us.

Trump threatens to intervene if Iran kills peaceful protesters "We are locked and loaded and ready to go," the president said on Truth Social early Friday, after economic protests in the Islamic Republic took a sharply violent turn.

Yes, killing peaceful protesters is a sign of tyranny.

John Robertson, Nottingham Forest and Scotland legend, dies aged 72 * Winger was important part of Brian Cloughโ€™s famous side * Scored in Scotlandโ€™s 1981 win over England at Wembley John Robertson, the Nottingham Forest and Scotland legend, has died at the age of 72. Robertson was a hugely important part of the great Forest team that under Brian Clough rose from the second tier of English football to win multiple major honours, most famously back-to-back European Cups. Robertson assisted the decisive goal in the first triumph and scored the decisive goal in the second, contributions that mark him out as one of the most remarkable players in British football history. For his country he earned 28 caps, most notably scoring the winning goal in a Home Championship victory over England at Wembley in May 1981. Continue reading...

Important point: university isn't just for posh kids; Erasmus+ gives non-posh kids same chance as posh kids to study abroad, which they otherwise wdn't have; & covers vocational & other non-university training & education exchanges. And if more students come to the UK, that increases UK soft power.

Hegseth repeatedly misled the public about this strike.

The boat was headed for Suriname, not the U.S.
It wasn't carrying fentanyl.
The survivors didn't "radio for backup."

This strike was illegal, and Hegseth is trying to cover up what happened by refusing to release video.
