This is just so very, very illegal. And Republicans in Congress aren’t the least bit interested in controlling the purse. They’re just employees of trump org at taxpayer expense. This is a dictatorship.

USnians have different default stress patterns to normal people. I'd say anti-fa too.

I openly had my misgivings about how a cis white man may handle this topic, but it's so unbelievably refreshing to see a politician, and a party leader at that, answer the question "can a woman have a penis?" with a simple "yes". No obfuscation, no trying to answer a different question, just "yes".

My "London is good actually" was yesterday. Going home on the tube after my friend's West London jazz gig, sat across from Alisdair Beckett-King deep in conversation. He changed at Canada Water for the Windrush line.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.
