David Pratt: Donald Trump’s military speech was a thinly veiled authoritarian rule I’M far from being an apologist for the US military. God knows I’ve seen enough of their handiwork up close in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Let’s recognise it for what it really is, Trump’s speech to US military chiefs was a thinly veiled shaping of authoritarian rule - Today’s columnπŸ‘‡ www.thenational.scot/politics/255...

Man behind Glasgow Saltire raising campaign 'called for refugees to be gassed' A MAN behind an anti-immigration campaign to raise Saltires called for refugees to be β€œgassed”.

It really saddens me to see the Saltire being abused as part of the Anglo-centric "Raise the Colours" campaign. The language used within Scotland, as described in the linked article, is truly shocking. We need to separate from the UK and remove the environment where such hatred thrives.

Starmer, a human rights lawyer, is now describing people as illegal.

For years, I've asked everyone Tory and every brain dead Reform supporter, what law have they broken.

I wonder if Starmer knows, cos I'll be buggered if I do.

Until now. For instance, the cancer scientist Kseniia Petrova, a Russian immigrant who worked at Harvard’s renowned Kirschner Lab, has been in a Louisiana ICE prison for two months now, and is facing deportation to Russia because she allegedly lied to a border control officer about carrying frog embryos for research purposes. Not only is this likely falseβ€”she told NBC News that she did tell the officers the truthβ€”but the usual penalty for such a piddling violation is a $500 fine, knocked down to $50 for a first offense. Instead, ICE revoked her J-1 visa and threw her in prison pending a hearing to deport her back to Russia, where she might easily end up in prison or dead for criticizing the Putin regime.

Petrova is not just any cancer scientistβ€”she is perhaps the world’s top expert on analyzing the images produced by a new cutting-edge, ultra-specialized microscope that is being developed to diagnose cancer cases. Leon Peshkin, Petrova’s manager, told NBC that the task β€œrequires a unique set of skills because you have to both be able to work as an embryologist and do applied math, modeling, data analysis and bioinformaticsβ€”all in one package.” Nobody else in the lab could do what she does, he added.

one of the world's top cancer scientists, who works for Harvard, is at risk of deportation to Russia where she might be killed for criticizing Putin, because she allegedly failed to disclose carrying frog embryos at the border. it's upending American medical research: prospect.org/health/2025-...
