The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched.
Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.

So Labour Together, which ran a long campaign to smear left wingers as antisemites, hired a PR firm to find out who leaked info on its secret funding to a Sunday Times investigation, & the PR firm decided to discredit a *possibly* linked investigative journalist by saying he was funded by Soros.

The US is close to being lost so let us not forget Farage will stop at nothing to import these exact same Trumpist policies here in the UK. A vote for Reform is a vote for fascism, tyranny and blood on our streets.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant.
The agents committed murder.
It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

Your water bills are going up, again.
Why? Because private companies think you should pay the price for their negligence and greed.
It’s time to end the privatisation rip-off and bring water back into public ownership, now!

I am very concerned by the government's mass rollout of facial recognition technology.
This is a grave threat to privacy, and turns the presumption of innocence on its head.
We are hurtling toward a mass surveillance state. It must be opposed!

This is Donald Trump's fascist America.
Keir Starmer doesn't oppose it. He licks the boot of the man who authorises these assassinations.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech.
This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

Yesterday our Bay Area Local marched in solidarity with the mass strike against ICE in MPLS. 🚩🏴
Today federal agents murdered another person there.
The only option to face down escalating state terror is organization: in our workplaces, neighborhoods, schools. We have the leverage to fight back.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
