Screenshot of a Facebook post by the US Department of Homeland Security, saying: "The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world." The post includes an image of a car on a beach under palm trees. The following text is printed on the sky: "America After 100 Million Deportations'

They would need to speed up, true, but they seem pretty clear about their end goal.

For now. They'll scrub that page clean of such "anti-American" details before long.

Which in most cases are really purple states, painted red by corrupt Republicans via redistricting.

A sculpture of a bird (probably a pukeko), made mainly from corrugated iron, sitting with legs crossed on the awning outside a craft supplies shop in Tirau, New Zealand. The bird has long eyelashes, and is wearing high heels, lipstick, and a "pearl" necklace and earrings.

Or this?

Heart-shaped neon lights, in pink and red, hanging from a tree.

Maybe some Christmas lights?

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

No, but I went to a democratic school, with weekly meetings and votes on how the school was run. So there was a practical civics component built in.

I seriously hope that the rebuilding plans incorporate effective ventilation throughout. Otherwise you are just baking in unnecessary infections and absence, and wasting money.

You don't have to believe it, of course. They show disapproval of Trump is much higher than approval, like the other two sources, although the difference they show is smaller (15% vs 19% and 24%).

I think Rasmussen shows a worse picture for Trump in terms of the trend than the others, though.

Latest AP Polls | AP-NORC Polling New and historic polling from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research on presidential approval, the U.S. economy and other issues.

Yes, Gallup has made themselves irrelevant. But there are other good polling organizations who have been measuring presidential approval for some time, e.g.

Pretty sure Corbyn is not Blair.

“Wellington's sewage spill is just one of many examples of public service and infrastructure enshittification, begun by Roger Douglas and Ruth Richardson, and continued by neoliberal factions across government, business, media, finance, and the public.” - Josh Drummond

A must read folks #nzpol

Why should we give a fuck what you think? If the study is truly out of date, show us a newer one.

Vague claims about about an "order of magnitude" just make you sound like a desperate bullshit artist. (Lord knows there's no shortage of those, when it comes to AI.)

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

billybraggofficial 2 hours ago Keir MY PLEDGES TO YOU Starmer ANOTHER FUTURE IS POSSIBLE My promise to you is that I will maintain our radical values and work tirelessly to get Labour in to power - so that we can advance the interests of the people our Party was created to serve. Based on the moral case for socialism, here is where I stand. 1. Economic justice Increase income tax for the top 5% of earners, reverse the Tories' cuts in corporation tax and clamp down on tax avoidance, particularly of large corporations. No stepping back from our core principles. 2. Social justice Abolish Universal Credit and end the Tories' cruel sanctions regime. Set a national goal for wellbeing to make health as important as GDP; invest in services that help shift to a preventative approach. Stand up for universal services and defend our NHS. Support the abolition of tuition fees and invest in lifelong learning. 3. Climate justice Put the Green New Deal at the heart of everything we do. There is no issue more important to our future than the climate emergency. A Clean Air Act to tackle pollution locally. Demand international action on climate rights. 4. Promote peace and human rights No more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice. 5. Common ownership Public services should be in public hands, not making profits for shareholders. Support common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water; end outsourcing out NHS, local government and justice system. 6. Defend migrants' rights Full voting rights for EU nationals. Defend free movement as we leave the EU. An immigration system based on compassion and dignity. End indefinite detention and call for the closure of centres such as Yarl's Wood.

A good reminder from @billybragg.bsky.social about what Starmer once pretended to be - always worth remembering he threw this all away and managed to get fewer votes than Corbyn

I'm no lawyer, but I imagine states might be able to challenge the planned use of these sites if there is evidence that the relevant federal agency has acted unconstitutionally at similar sites elsewhere.

Also there is an important exception to the supremacy clause, that it does not enable unconstitutional federal laws etc.

Fair point. The government is desperately trying to avoid it being called a tax, so they certainly aren't saying they want taxpayers to pay.

Maybe they do, maybe not. It seems like too much of an oversimplification to start the article by directly stating that, anyway.

Polanski.

Although if they invited Corbyn back, that could work too.

They are clearly both.

Should be paid for by a levy on police salaries and pensions.

Now where's the fun in that? ;-)

Here comes Lyin' Ryan.

To say nothing of Starmer's evident pleasure at it all.

All while he can't get his head far enough up Trump's backside.

Yes, he's a pathetic worm (and that's being unfair to worms)
