I hope there are UK groups taking notes for how to organise under a Farage government
If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

His envoy says a deal to take over the island “should and will be made”
He wants to sanction NATO countries.
When will Europe recognize that US is no longer an ally?

If the figures we're getting out of Iran are in the right league, this weekend was, I think, one of the bloodiest state crackdowns of all time. People are talking 12,000-20,000 dead; for comparison Hungary in 1956 was about 2,500, Tiananmen - across country, in multiple cities - probably 1000+
