Hey whaddya know? Supreme Court order in Illinois case is a good portent

"Most court watchers had steeled themselves for a grim outcome in the High Court. But a dramatic development has changed the posture of the case and markedly increased the odds that the country escapes the worst."

most of the time I think he’s at least really committed to fascism. but there’s just a lot of evidence he’s bored as fuck and they keep coming up with these little projects for him. I mean it’s important for elderly people to stay active.

Call them cunts and tell them they get nothing. Spit in their stupid faces. Put extra Asians in the Christmas adverts and explicitly say you're doing it to fuck them off. Tell them *no* for once Jesus actual Christ lads. Not "this is unworkable" or "this is expensive". Just no.

Some White House ballroom contractors go underground Some firms involved in the White House ballroom project appear to be trying to lower their online profiles.

The contractors who just destroyed the East Wing are trying to lay low.

Shock Video Shows ICE Agent Assaulting Woman Who Asked If He’s A Good Christian Hundreds protested Tuesday at an ICE facility in southwest Colorado after agents detained two children on their way to school.

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

Once again Elon Musk has stoked far right violence in Ireland or England.

Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event.

And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.

Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun?

Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

A tweet from Sky News reading 'Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.' A follow up tweet says 'This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish'.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

Labour in freefall

Labour in freefall

The party of government, that won a generational landslide just over a year ago, is polling at just 15%.

Starmer will be remembered as one of the worst prime ministers in British history, and a willing midwife for the fascism to come.
