Very left wing vibes here at the press conference for the American Federation of Musicians Local 802's endorsement of Zohran Mamdani.

the White House's erasure of slavery (except for as something the founders sought to curb, which is weird since it didn't otherwise exist and wasn't otherwise bad) from its 250 materials is pretty bleak, a rewrite more reactionary than the 1876, 1926, or 1976 centennials.

Gregg Wallace: MasterChef host sacked as 50 more people make claims The TV presenter has been the subject of an inquiry into alleged misconduct, to be published imminently.

What is being alleged here, by up to FIFTY new complainants, is a pattern of gross, predatory behaviour. #MeToo #GreggWallace

A grown man is asked, several times over his career, to watch his language and stop making women feel uncomfortable. He doesnโ€™t do this and then cries victim when there are consequences. What a giant baby. #GreggWallace

You need to know what's going on at "Alligator Alcatraz."

It's grossly immoral - no human being should be treated like that.

It's political theater - many of the detainees have no criminal record.

It's a taxpayer funded boondoggle - enriching DeSantis's political cronies.

Irish tourist jailed by Ice for months after overstaying US visit by three days: โ€˜Nobody is safeโ€™ Exclusive: For roughly 100 days, Thomas says he faced harsh detention conditions, despite agreeing to deportation

Sadly, you have to be crazy to want to visit the US these days: Irish tourist jailed by ICE for more than three months after overstaying US visit by three days: โ€˜Nobody is safeโ€™

Exclusive: For roughly 100 days, Thomas says he faced harsh detention conditions, despite agreeing to deportation.

The lurching horror of our national immigration narrative is on full display today. Even two years ago, I believe almost all media would have framed the victims of the Afghan leak as allies to whom we have a duty of care. In the Mail today, they are โ€˜migrantsโ€™ being โ€˜smuggledโ€™ in to the country.
