‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

I meet a lot of teachers in my work and pretty much all of them want children and young people to enjoy learning as well as passing tests and exams. That's the gap which I think needs filling for #inclusion to be viable. People need to believe it's an option. Ofsted is getting in the way atm imho.

Common Kestrel [Falco tinnunculus]: This is a small, agile raptor known for its distinctive hovering flight while hunting. The male has striking plumage with a rusty-red back and slate-grey head and tail. Thank you again Katy Smith for sharing your photo taken in the UK. #kestrel #wildlife #nature

I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

Name them
shame them

That‘s the spirit.

They murdered a nurse who cared for military veterans & then called him a terrorist.

And there it is.

A museum piece of toddler-king illiterate petulance… for eternity.

America is the richest country in the world, with the strongest military. But, it still needs allies, trading partners. It can’t do it all alone. It’s powerful, but not impregnable.

I found this very interesting perspective thread on FB.

My point is..,,there’s no point clinging onto hope that the alliance can be saved, US still be relied upon in extremis. It can’t. So, what’s holding us back from retaliating?

Minnesotans are fighting back against ICE and right-wing media propaganda in the most American ways possible: peaceful protest, Pickle Rick costumes, and tossed lunch meat

Excellent

~50% of the people living in the US weren’t even born the last time a President invoked the Insurrection Act. And when GHWB did that in 1992, the soldiers deployed to LA were not given live ammunition.

Keir Starmer has NOT condemned the murder of Renee Good by ICE.
Think about that.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

People try to ascribe motives, strategy and logic to Trump but it's not acknowledged nearly enough that he's simply a spectacularly stupid man who happens to be extremely rich and entitled with it and therefore has gained a lot of power.

He's a very clear example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

ICE arresting more people for things that certainly aren't crimes while wearing masks to hide their identity.

Truly the SS are operating in the USA.

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Not for the first time, where other European leaders wring their hands over Trump, Spain’s Sánchez draws a line. A stance that is only looking more sensible (more *realistic*) as time goes on.

Absolutely and the rights and restrictions associated with it should be widely publicised and understood. That is still not the case in the U.K.

A very obliging Robin from my archives. Plump and bright red. Quite friendly too.

It's #NationalRobinday. Always lovely to see those flashes of red on gloomy winter days.

Excellent 🤣

They already have been! It's happening right now! Photos of these illegal deletions and redactions are all over the internet!

What sort of perverse Orwellian headline is this? What's next—war is peace? Slavery brings freedom?

Maybe America should try sanity for a change of pace

They’re actually redacting Trump’s name AFTER the release.

This is a litmus test of British people's patriotism. Do you back your national broadcaster? Or do you back this guy?

The troll circle said this was impossible.
