In the U.K. we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but Christmas is a big deal. To the point that my daughter has offered to come in to help me tidy up and make my house respectable for visitors. She suggests a skip.
Happy thanksgiving if you celebrate. I’m guessing your homes are tidier than mine.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?
The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

If I was Starmer I’d put Burnham in the cabinet so that he learns what it’s actually like to be part of the government. Shouting from Manchester is all very well but having the whole of the U.K. to consider could teach a few lessons. probably not a popular view but Idc.

Was watching ‘The Road to Auschwitz’ tonight w Simon Schama. And he finished by speaking to a survivor who sadly is no longer with us but who gave us a quote that is so relevant today. Consider our current world leaders in this context. Esp trimp and netyynshootu. I see no compassion in either.

In a normal world kids dying in government custody would be the biggest story in the news.
Keep in mind these are just the deaths of CHILDREN held by ICE that we know about. Where’s the outraged reporting on this? When’s the Congressional investigation beginning?
