ACLU of Minnesota sues ICE over alleged mistreatment of observers Six residents say they were threatened, pepper sprayed and unlawfully detained for observing immigration enforcement actions.

She asked one question: "Are you ICE?"

With no warning, agents took her to the ground. They shackled her for hours. They cut off parts of her clothes — and even her wedding ring.

Now, @aclumn.bsky.social is fighting back for protesters, observers and journalists exercising their 1A rights.

David McBride told the truth. Now he’s in jail.

Whistleblowers protect democracy and the public’s right to know. Punishing them silences truth.

The US supreme court’s TikTok ruling is a scandal | Evelyn Douek and Jameel Jaffer The decision means TikTok now operates under the threat that it could be forced offline with a stroke of Trump’s pen

The fact that TikTok remains available “makes a mockery” of the government’s earlier national security claims that the platform was “an urgent national security risk – and of the court that deferred to those claims,” @evelyndouek.bsky.social and @jameeljaffer.bsky.social write in @theguardian.com.

From civil disobedience to networked whistleblowing: What national security truth-tellers reveal in an age of crackdowns Whistleblowers’ stories show how accountability is shifting from formal legal institutions to solidarity networks built outside the state.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Why Elon Musk’s $44 billion payday should worry Australians When it comes to leadership, the myth of great men lives on because it flatters and serves the interests of the elite.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

At the UN the US says recognising the state of Palestine rewards Hamas, the IPC report declaring famine in Gaza lacks credibility & integrity, & other countries are engaged in pontificating & lecturing.

The reality? The world sees the US is an active partner in Israels genocide

Get ready for fracking, Reform UK tells energy firms The party is serious about going after shale gas - but critics argue it's too difficult and costly.

Reform UK voted against worker rights in parliament, favoured bad bosses.

Now it supports fracking which can cause earthquakes and negative environmental impacts.

Companies will make vast profits, people will pick up the tab. Many homes would be uninsurable. Who would buy affected houses?

Normal person: Genocide is bad

Crazy person: Woah hey, let’s not get political

Chinese suitor ‘would cut billions from Thames Water investment’ CK Infrastructure touted as likely buyer if debt-laden water company is nationalised

Hong Kong billionaire, owner of Northumbrian Water, touted as Thames Water bidder.

He won't provide necessary infrastructure investment.

Any private owner would want profit, main cause of the crisis. Profits go abroad, misery stays home.

Public ownership is the only way ahead.

Keir Starmer’s plan for UK growth – the Ukraine war The Labour government’s increase in military spending and its extraordinary new agreement with Ukraine are platforms for the UK arms industry

Ukraine has become a new, major market for British arms exports.

In the 10 years up to Russia’s invasion in 2022, UK firms sold only around £35m of military equipment.

In the three years after the invasion, 2022-24, exports skyrocketed to £1.1bn.

In the 1970s, UK discovered oil/gas in North Sea.

Thatcher onwards, money squandered on tax cuts for corporations/rich. Now ... crisis.

Norway heavily taxed oil/gas. Now, $1.9trn sovereign fund. Its income funds national budget.

Appeasing rich/corporations costs the future.

IPSOS article: One in five Britons would consider voting for a new left-wing party, rising to one in three young people and Labour voters One in five (20%) British adults would consider voting for a new left-wing party founded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. The party's appeal is strongest among young people, with one-third (33%) of 16-34s considering it, alongside a third of 2024 Labour voters (33%) and 43% of 2024 Green Party voters.
