It’s here! The new DeathBoy single is available for pre-order on iTunes.

Photo and cover art by me!

This first single off the forthcoming album is probably my favorite track, so I’m not just promoting it because it’s my artwork!

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is.

They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

I’ve been sitting here, trying to think of something to say, but… there just aren’t words except “Yeah, sounds about white.”

Elizabeth @girlpluscamera.bsky.social · 3d

That’s just horrible. On what planet do people think dressing animals as Black characters is a good idea?

Like, did they even have a millisecond where they paused and wondered, “Hm. I wonder if this could be construed as racist.”

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is still trying to find a way to comply with an ICE subpoena, four months after a Denver judge ruled that doing so would violate state law // Story by @sethklamann.bsky.social

A judge told Gov. Jared Polis not to comply with an ICE subpoena. Polis’ attorneys say he still wants to.

In court filings, Gov. Jared Polis’ private attorneys have said they intend to turn over records on 10 businesses that employed several sponsors of unaccompanied children to ICE.

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."

I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral

The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

The Conservatives have drafted the legislation.

ANY one of the conditions being met leads to ILR being revoked.

If annual income falls below £38,700 for six months (for any reason at all)

The Secretary of State would also have the powers add whatever further conditions they want.

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt

No govt since Idi Amin has done this

I love how Starmer’s response to nearly 80% of the British demanding something be done about Andrew is basically:

“What’s all this shouting? We’ll have no trouble here! This is a Royal matter for Royal people! We don’t involve ourselves with the Crown and the Crown doesn’t involve itself with us.”

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Also let this be a reminder, to everyone who sees photos of ICE holding immigrants at gun point and says “This isn’t who we are as Americans.”

No.

This photo is from 2000

INS / ICE pointing guns at immigrant children is EXACTLY who we are and have been for a very long time.

Every time someone mentions “Trump” and “Nobel Peace Prize” all I can see is Father Jack demanding to know he doesn’t have an award after Ted wins the Golden Cleric.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Here's where we are:

Republicans have shut down the government.

Why?

They won't negotiate. They want to pass a bill that will allow the Trump administration to throw 15 million Americans off their health care & double premiums for 20 million Americans.

We won't let them.

84 MPs & Peers have written to the Foreign Secretary today, highlighting attacks on the Global Sumud Flotilla as it sails to deliver aid to Gaza.

We urge the Government to condemn these attacks and make it clear to Israeli counterparts that no harm must come to these humanitarians.

A formal letter on UK Parliament letterhead addressed to The Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, dated 25 September 2025. It is signed by Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, Labour MP for Clapham & Brixton Hill. The letter expresses concern for the safety of British citizens participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla aid mission to Gaza, referencing past Israeli interceptions of aid missions, recent drone attacks on vessels, and social media posts suggesting links to Hamas. It urges the Foreign Secretary to ensure that the UK strongly communicates to Israel that no harm must come to the flotilla or the British citizens onboard.

A plain page listing the names of over 80 signatories, including MPs, peers, and public figures, such as Diane Abbott MP, Jeremy Corbyn MP, John McDonnell MP, Zarah Sultana MP, and others, showing broad political support for the letter.

Jane Goodall understood better than most the impact humans have had on the planet. Having witnessed so much environmental deterioration during her lifetime, she was as much an activist as a scientist.

Read our piece from 2024 on the legendary primatologist. 💚

Jane Goodall Thinks It’s Not Too Late to Save the World

The world, the famed primatologist says, isn’t what it used to be—but there’s still time to save it, if we treat crises like climate change, biodiversity loss, and poverty as one.
