Lawyers have been publicizing a new term to describe ICE's racially targeted detainments: a “Kavanaugh stop.”

Mother Jones reporter Pema Levy explains in this new video:

Oh I see, hahaha, yes

Does anybody know how we got to be the smallest country in the world?

I used to be able to imagine myself wanting to. Last time I grabbed lunch from there it was dismal.

Could you just knock the live blogs on the head and let me read the story and get the facts? It's not a bloody football match.

The Devil's abroad.

Horrible news from Manchester. Anti-semitism is an ever present threat and it’s horrific to see another attack like this. My thoughts are with all of my Jewish friends and colleagues today.

Aaah, but he's on about the people who *will* be median voters by the time he's finished.

The way 'Tilly Norwood''s smile spreads like a rampant fungus filmed in timelapse

Erm, the 'insurgency' of Nigel Farage, bloke off the BBC? On what badly-drawn cartoon planet is Nigel Farage an 'insurgent'?

Some romantic poem-writing type or other would doubtless try and convince you that the 'distraction' was the other way round.

Found it eventually bsky.app/profile/elec...

Unfortunately the screenshot article also runs with Mason's interpretation that Davey has 'accused' the BBC of 'cutting and pasting' (which he hasn't). I fear non-rabid journalists may have on occasion too much of a tendency to view their frothing colleagues as being essentially 'on the same team'.

Good luck & hope no-one tells the bears x

It's the most pointless thing on the face of the Earth

If only Neville Chamberlain had had the brainwave to do a bunch of Winona Ryder eye-rolls when Adolf Hitler was talking

Sure kicking Angela Rayner to the kerb will sort all this right out, why wouldn't it. The answer is always just that little bit further up Paul Dacre's arse, we just need to have faith.

I just can't stop imagining rotationally symmetrical Jacob Rees-Mogg now.

Nah. Jacob Rees-Mogg can no more renounce Torydom than he can bilateral symmetry, and as others have said they wouldn't wipe their arse on Liz Truss.

Spot-on. And all our clever, knock-down, clinching reality-based arguments are only making them angrier. That cold water you're pouring on the premise is fuel on the subtextual fire.

They'd rather hand the country to Reform than feel like they'd in any way conceded an argument to the left wing of their own party. I mean, literally.

Why have you expressed it as Labour/LibDem and then put the figures back to front? It's Labour, 13%; LibDem, 7%.

The wrongest answer I could come up with off the top of my head

I don't know but I'm glad I'm not a Podling, that's all I'm gonna say

Ugh, John Rentoul. At least the Janet Daleys and Allison Pearsons of this world have the integrity to be openly right-wing.

I'm pretty sure anything is a theme park if enough Americans decide it is.
