Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Dear people of the U.K. (ostensibly England and Wales)

Until you realise this country is fucked because of 14 years of terrible mismanagement in every way by the Tories….

You will end up with Reform U.K. Ltd (Tories on crack) running this country.

And you think it’s bad now?!

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

This train station in China cost $7.8 billion to build.

America could have built 4 of these over the last 2 years for under $32 billion, but we decided to send that money to Israel so they could kill a bunch of civilians.

To be fair, Boris Johnson did change from a pro-Europe Conservative to a ranting brexiteer lunatic in the space of three years. I'm sure Putin had nothing to do with that. Certain. Definitely. Completely convinced.

Reform scared of @zackpolanski.bsky.social simply because he tells the truth. What a weapon to wield.

We know this stuff. We keep seeing this stuff. Everyone knows he’s a traitor and a paedophile but nothing happens. I wish I believed in Hell so at least he’d suffer at some point.

“We have now seen three of the five worst harvests on record this decade after extreme weather, telling a story of escalating #climate impacts that farmers are unable to cope with”.

Tick. Tock.

England sees second worst harvest on record, analysis shows

Provisional Government data suggests a much worse harvest than experts had so far predicted.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"
