I understand why people *want* the police to intervene--normies are like, 'I thought cops are supposed to arrest people doing crimes, ICE is right there doing crimes, go do your thing'

but police organizations take nearly every opportunity to be like, 'oh you misunderstood what our thing is'

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

A massive dereliction of leadership and duty, if true. A few years ago, Starmer branded Rishi Sunak’s absence from the world’s top #climate conference as a “failure of leadership”. He was right then - he must do the right thing himself now #COP30

Govt claims requiring all adults in Britain to have “digital ID” will “help control borders” and “illegal immigtation”.

That could only be true if police are given powers to require ID, without suspicion of a crime.

Morning. ☕️

Ollie woke me up at 5:50, so I’ve been out in the dark 🦇 and now I need to go out again because he did a poo I couldn’t see. 💩😤

I’m on top of all my boat jobs and was expecting a nice easy day. 😎🏝️🍷 My chimney has other ideas and it’s just told me I need to take it apart and clean it. 😖👎🏻

I just love the simplicity of this wee Norwegian window

#WindowsOnWednesday
#photography
The image shows a close-up of a window set in a red wooden wall. The window has a white frame and is divided into six panes. One of the window's blue shutters is open, revealing the interior. The contrast between the red wall, blue shutter, and white window frame creates a striking visual effect.

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.
ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day
Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.
