Today I discovered a woman called "Angie the ICE Chaser" on TikTok and she literally just follows ICE vehicles in her car. They become increasingly erratic in their attempts to lose her (breaking sooo many laws on camera) and they never do. She is single handedly striking terror into ICE agents across LA. She also follows them through neighborhoods honking her horn and shouting "THEY ARE ICE!" out her window.
There is a GFM for gas money and the legal fees she is fully expecting to come around.

Break the selective silence on the genocide in Gaza Substantial and well-documented evidence indicates a catastrophic public health emergency in Gaza (appendix pp 1–5), marked by severe food insecurity and alarming levels of malnutrition-related deaths...

Life expectancy in Gaza declined by 35 years in 2024. This represents a greater collapse in longevity than recorded even during the genocide in Rwanda, where life expectancy declined from 42.9 in 1993 to 12.2 in 1994.

Stop the US-Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

Israel’s new measures do nothing to stop the starvation crisis in Gaza, say aid workers Humanitarian workers say airdrops and corridors to allow trucks into region have done little to stop the rising death toll

Aid groups report that Israel is refusing to allow any olives or other “fruits or vegetables with pits or seeds that could be planted” into Gaza. They will only allow in pitted olives.

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

Yep!! PhD students are often extremely good at catching these zombie factoids because they are tenacious, buried in footnotes and have *time* to root stuff out. But at some point stuff just gets footnoted to the most prominent historian who repeated the claim, and nobody bothers to look it up.

Netpol has updated and expanded our guidance on the government’s decision to ban Palestine Action, in response to the many questions we received. This includes fundraising for prisoners, criticising the ban and differences in the way offences are dealt with in Scotland netpol.org/2025/06/26/p...

doesn't make the headline for some reason but the Trump administration confirmed on the record that they are running an explicitly whites only refugee program, if you're wondering how things are going in the year 2025

Columbia punishes students involved in pro-Palestinian protest It comes as Columbia seeks a deal with the Trump administration to reinstate millions in federal funding.

Columbia just expelled or suspended 80 students for protesting in favor of Palestinian rights. Suspended students can only be readmitted if they "apologize"--otherwise the suspension converts to an expulsion.

Daniel Lawson @DanielLaw1998: Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. 

I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times.

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.
