Magari sono pessimista io che non ci ho mai creduto, ma forse non occorreva aspettare tre anni? Non bastava lo spettacolo delle Europee, gente di sinistra e gente di destra che si presenta sotto lo stesso simbolo, nessuno sa più perché, ma ormai si usa così?

A reminder: no one should have to “earn” the right to live and move freely. Human rights do not depend on how much (or little!) someone contributes to the country.

Donald Trump is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power, regardless of what the Constitution says. He “has always told us exactly who he is,” J. Michael Luttig argues. “We have just not wanted to believe him. But we must believe him now.”

Donald Trump is trying to amass the powers of a king.

I wouldn't necessarily start from here, but @stephenkb.bsky.social has thoughts on the political choices Labour faces wrt to immigration policy.
Labour needs a way out of the infernal circle of immigration policy
Politics today is about ‘open vs closed’, but the UK government’s approach risks appeasing no one

Watching yesterdays asylum debate in HoC profoundly depressing. Supposedly smart people endlessly repeating stock phrases and seeming to know little about the subject but taking Mail's conventional wisdom as truth. Hope our Parliamentarians aren't actually as stupid as they make themselves appear

Dear Politician,

If fascists are endorsing your immigration policies, it’s because your immigration policies are racist.

Just saying.

An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.

"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"
How a family secret led Greg Bovino to lead Trump's border crackdown
Before he became the face of Trump's tough ICE policies, Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino endured a childhood marked by a family scandal that changed the trajectory of his life.

Almost everyone with a high level of racial resentment tended to vote for Trump in the 2024 election, regardless of educational attainment. Conversely, those with a low racial resentment score tended to support Harris, whether they had a college degree or not.

Asked a question by Kuenssberg about whether her proposals on refugees would mean refugee families being broken up, Shabana Mahmood immediately started talking about illegal migration. Eventually, she’s admitted that yes, Labour’s policy will break up settled families. Vile.
