On October 10th, 2025, Dayanne was assaulted and kidnapped by masked ICE agents. They gave no reason why.
She is beyond brave for sharing her story and reliving her trauma, in hopes that someone will listen—that there will be change. Do not turn a blind eye to her pain.

Witkoff is trying for the sixth time to convince Putin. He still believes that Russia wants peace.
If that were true, why does Putin have Ukraine's civilian population bombarded with missiles and drones every night?
For crying out loud, wake up, America! Help Ukraine!

This must be the most outrageous example of Farage's racist bullying. A 17-year-old Farage bullying a 9-year-old lad – NINE – for being black, and even waiting at the school gate to heap more abuse on the little lad.

Luckily, there’s a big spread on it in the Sunday Times where a ‘Reform source’ confirms that Farage can’t apologise to those he racially abused because that would mean telling his support base, “You’re all guilty too.”
So that’s all helpfully confirmed then.
Farage is racist. So are his voters.
