A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

I think some populist commentators, in their bubbles, may not realise how far they are from the *people* they often invoke and claim to represent.

75% of Britons support making it illegal for companies to provide AI tools that are capable of creating intimate images of people without their consent, as the government announces legislation to outlaw them

Support: 75%
Oppose: 17%

I've put a few Watercolour and biro pictures on Ebay, some have very exciting damage effects (caused by terrible masking fluid, but which I now consider A FEATURE!). Please consider giving them a nice home. They do not need toilet training.

The govt has launched a new TikTok that shows videos of people being handcuffed, bundled into police cars and frogmarched into detention centres. Why? It's a cruel, desperate bid for attention from a government failing to actually improve people's lives

'The Government's Deportations TikTok Is A New, Deeply Disturbing Low'
Writing for HuffPost UK, Green Party MP Carla Denyer said it was a "gross dereliction of duty" and simply unforgivable".

They don't seem to realize that the video of them abusing a legal observer is probably worse than whatever video the legal observer had already obtained of them.

New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.

The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

i imagine this is how they're going to keep rounding up their 2026 hiring numbers despite everything
Somehow, despite never submitting any of the paperwork they sent me—not the background check or identification info, not the domestic violence affidavit, none of it—ICE had apparently offered me a job. According to the application portal, my pre-employment activities remained pending. And yet, it also showed that I had accepted a final job offer and that my onboarding status was “EOD”—Entered On Duty, the start of an enlistment period. I moused over the exclamation mark next to “Onboarding” and a helpful pop-up appeared. “Your EOD has occurred. Welcome to ICE!” I clicked through to my application tracking page. They’d sent my final offer on Sept. 30, it said, and I had allegedly accepted. “Welcome to Ice. … Your duty location is New York, New York. Your EOD was on Tuesday, September 30th, 2025.” By all appearances, I was a deportation officer. Without a single signature on agency paperwork, ICE had officially hired me.

Iran is an Islamic theocracy because of the US. Iran had a democratic government which the US and UK overthrew to install a brutal pro western dictatorship for oil. The 79 revolution was a direct consequence of this. People pretend the government is anti-US for no reason

Screenshot of a tweet taken from Instagram (yeah I know): Tristan Cleveland @LUrbaniste Slovakian sees a video about American suburbs and posts questions to Reddit. The level of bafflement is hilarious and appropriate. • What do you actually do? Are you always stuck inside? What did you do when you were ?chillg and couldn't drive? • Why do you have these sorts of strange regulations? Are your officials so incompetent? Is this due to lobbying from car or oil companies? I don't get it. • Why is there no public transport? It seems like the only thing is the yellow school bus, idk. • He says there can be only one family houses. Why? Why can't you have idk a commie block in the middle of such a suburb? Or row houses or whatever. 306 • Why are there no businesses inside these? I mean, he says it's illegal, just why? If I lived in such a place, I'd just buy a house next to mine and turn it into a tavern or a convenience store or whatever. Is that simply not possible and illegal? • These places have front and backyards. But they're mostly empty. Some backyards have a p... maybe, but it's mostly just green grass. Why don't you grow plants in your yards? Like potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes or whatever. Why do you own this land, if you never use it? 211

Called it
Screenshot of a reply I posted earlier this morning. Text reads: Jim Caris @jimcaris.bsky.social They're going to make it illegal to ask Grok to generate CSAM from a UK-based IP address, and pretend that's solved the problem. The only real solution is to ban X until it complies, but everyone knows Starmer doesn't have the spine for that. 8:29 AM · Jan 13, 2026

Note the timing of Home Office re-press releasing the “most ever raids” & “hardest ever immigration crack down” today.

Signalling alignment with Trump & ICE.

They haven’t got a clue how to make ordinary British people’s lives better, only how to make migrants suffer. #r4today

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45
