ICE agents! Keep quitting, spill the beans and help us take down the institutuon that's not going to pay you anyway.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Abolish the Monarchy.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

Peter Thiel's New Model Army The Palantirisation of the UK military is a national security disaster

Pls read whole piece. Neither Mandelson or Mosley were asked about Mandelson’s role in fixing Starmer’s visit to Palantir & subsequent £240m deal. It finally made headlines on Weds when a q was asked in Parliament.

But honestly, BBC also has qs to answer

On this day in 1759, 267 years ago, the radical abolitionist Benjamin Lay passed away at age 77. A hundred years before William Lloyd Garrison, Lay called for the immediate and complete abolition of slavery worldwide, with no payments to enslavers. Let us remember him. Art by Marco Lorenzetti.

What a love letter to London.

Another London, by Hari Kunzru Excavating the disenchanted city

“I left London for New York eighteen years ago. For a long time I didn’t miss it. Recently I have found myself thinking about it more often, and sometimes even dreaming about it.”

Fuck ICE and Fuck the Border Patrol

Under my leadership of the Labour Party, Peter Mandelson had no role, no influence and no part to play, because I do not trust the man and I do not believe the man.

Last September, Keir Starmer told the Commons that he had “full confidence” in Peter Mandelson. 

Well, the public has no confidence in him.

He must resign.

@Richard J Murphy is warning that Trump's system might collapse soon—starting with Bitcoin, then AI, then the whole stock market. He thinks Trump's so invested in crypto and stocks that he'd be devastated if they crashed.

What about privately owned airplanes, @govwesmoore.bsky.social? Hundreds of shackled migrants in ICE custody sat on an Omni plane at BWI - a state-owned airport - for 6 1/2 hours on Oct. 23 and 11 hours on Dec. 15.

Omni has a base with an office and aircraft parking lease right here in Maryland!

Scandals can be corrected. That's why they're often titillating - think 18thc sentimental comedy, think Profumo, JFK, etc...Scandals are transgressions that reset norms

The Epstein files are not a scandal.

They're proof of the violent misogynist contempt that structures wealth and power.

We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world The most disturbing revelation so far

We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world now. That's what we can't face. It's our world. Where sexual desire for children is protected, victims receive no justice & the President of what used to be called the free world is Jeff's friend. This is Jeff's World now.

Where does the money come from when the UK government spends?

Not from your taxes. Not from borrowing. The answer is simpler than you think and it changes everything about how we think about public investment.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

This is the warehouse of books that Anthropic kept to be scanned and used to feed their AI and then FUCKING PULPED. Monsters.

Israel follows in the footsteps of Britain using defoliants in Malays and US using Agent Orange in Vietnam. Empire=murder.

Last night we had 2 ICE agents get out of a car, pepper spray legal observers, shout something to the effect of "I'm fucking ICE motherfucker" and drive away.
