Still seeing some real estate opportunities.

Snuffing out the joy, reducing progress as there is no pleasure, no entry into the worlds that stories can provide. Those with more privilege will get that joy elsewhere.

A practice that would have been unthinkable under past administrations is becoming normalized: Sending ICE detainees, without due process, to far-flung prisons.

@nlanard.bsky.social takes us inside the "legal black hole" in Eswatini, where Trump is sending detainees.

So depressing but interestingly it votes LD last election, first time not conservative since the 1920s. I have faith in the town.

Please share if you can. Housing benefit is failing to cover the true cost of rent, it’s forcing people across Britain into poverty, ill health and homelessness.
I’ve asked my MP to urge the Chancellor to fix this at the UK Budget. @crisis-uk.bsky.social‬

Email your MP: unfreeze housing benefit

Ask your MP to tell to the Chancellor to unfreeze housing benefit to prevent homelessness.

They say it, and their target audience believe it. It reinforces the powerlessness of the majority who know it’s untrue.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything with so many mistakes. Completely bizarre

Are there still EU MPs or MEPs being held or were they released straight away. I saw originally some were on the boats but not seen anything since then?

Sure to NOT produce any media hand wringing. Nope, constant attacks on the folks on the left ARE NOT the result of a President calling us scum and terrorists, or any other violent rhetoric from the right. All is nominal.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

The article is under the local news header "Sussex". This is of national importance and should be under "England".

And they talk about the protests stretching resources. But it is because of the decision to proscribe the organisation. Protest is peaceful. A self created crisis by Labour.
