A federal judge has ordered that ICE cannot use rubber bullets or other “less lethal ammo” directly on protesters at the Broadview ICE facility.

Good.

Now arrest and charge the agents who shot the priest in the head and the woman in her car.

Stop letting them get away with it.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

Masks. Armed. No insignia. No names. No warrants. But they will come up to an American citizen on the street and threaten him with arrest for peacefully exercising basic American rights.

I'd challenge historians of the American Revolution to articulate how things were worse than this in April 1775.

What an absolute piece of worthless shit Boris Johnson is.
It’s a travesty that he was ever prime minister, & yet another a two-fingered salute to the public that he will face no consequences.

I have to say Zack Polanski is very impressive. I watch his development as a party leader with great interest. It’s refreshing to hear a politician actually attempt to get to the real heart of a problem instead of lazily following the current habit of blaming immigration and nonwhite communities.

Borders have two sides, trade relationships also have two sides. The people who sold you Brexit pretended it was only the UK who would decide to act in uk interest against Europeans but forgot to mention that the people on the other side have a duty to do the same for their own population.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.
