NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

The original story is superb. Funny, alarming, quietly trenchant, with all the receipts on the page. I’d been aware of @londoncentric.media for a while, but hadn’t taken on board its sheer excellence.
(FWIW, Dad would have been sending the story to everyone he knew.)

I guess it’s a compliment that the top story on BBC London’s TV/online output today is a direct lift of a month-old London Centric story? But once again the BBC is consistently the worst news outlet for actually remembering to credit others.

“You might think that you’re safe, but we’re going to come after you..This will not end until we hold every single person that has violated the Constitution and the rights of people in our communities accountable.”
Trump’s crimes will not be buried, and his deportation machine doesn’t get a free pass, not now, not ever.
We’re going to keep exposing the abuses, holding Trump and every immigration enforcement agency accountable, and making sure they answer for breaking the law.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
