To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Just back from chemo unit - first denosumab injection.

Most of the staff were ‘non white’ ~ they might not even have had A level English! Shock, horror!
But they did a superb job.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

I work in FE the vast majority of the workforce wouldn't pass A level English. I've worked in industry with some who have doctorates they couldn't spell for toffee. This is ridiculous

German news: Sick leave measured by public health insurances remains on an above-normal level. Top of the list: respiratory illnesses & mental health. Frankly, I blame politics. Lack of Covid/RSV precautions & constant fanning of fear & anger to generate attention & votes is making us ill.

AOK-Auswertung

Krankmeldungen bleiben auf hohem Niveau

Der Krankenstand unter den Beschäftigen in Deutschland verharrt laut der Krankenkasse AOK auf hohem Niveau. Dahinter stehen vor allem Atemwegserkrankungen. Aber auch psychische Erkrankungen nehmen zu.

Chris Mason today loving the drama over an unproven spying allegation involving China and no serving politicians. And yes, there are questions.
Yet when it comes to a proven case of another foreign power paying multiple bribes to a criminal Reform MEP? Somehow he can't muster the enthusiasm.

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.
