Whoever it was that made the point that Facebook is where the constituents are hit the nail on the head.

It’s not like FB isn’t fully infiltrated either, but there is no political argument to be on Twitter whatsoever - it offers no positive benefit on a communications or electoral level.
EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK"

The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"

I suppose it will be too much to expect the Vice President to acknowledge that this doesn't look good.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Release the Epstein Files
BREAKING: Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have just asked a federal judge to appoint a special master/independent monitor to ensure that ALL Epstein documents are released!

America needs answers as to not only what Trump is hiding but why they are hiding these files, against the law.

very disappointing.

There is a code of conduct for Royal Society fellows - it's not a value judgement to say that Musk has contravened it!

see relevant bits of code and the Royal Society stated values below.

possibly the most damning video of the killing is the one that the ICE agent himself took.
SHOCK CELL PHONE VIDEO: Renee Good's final words to her murderer: “That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you.”

ICE agent Jonathan Ross after shooting and killing her seconds later: “Fuckin’ bitch.”

We identified remnants of an AGM-88 series missile inside a three-storey apartment complex that was hit in Catia La Mar during the US military raid on Venezuela on Jan. 3, 2026, that reportedly killed at least one civilian.

Calling someone a "fucking bitch" and denying them medical attention after shooting them sure seems like what someone would do if they wanted to murder them.

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS

But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic

We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS
BBC Radio 4 'Today'

Reading out headlines from the right-wing propaganda newspapers without question or challenge, as if they're printing the unbiased truth.

Such bollocks.

The BBC is part of the problem: just a mouthpiece for our rotten imitation of a democracy, controlled by the rich.

The fact that the Trump administration looks at a video where the victims final words are “I’m not mad at you” and the shooter seems to say “fucking bitch” after killing her, and thinks, yeah, this looks good for him, is amazing.

Vance shares this video as exculpatory. Interesting he mentions Good “harassing” Ross as that has absolutely nothing to do with legal justification for the shooting. Seems revealing and saying some quiet part out loud.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

the only way this leaks, especially to Alpha News, is that they think it makes ICE look good, which is astounding, because it makes them look so much worse

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

People finally seem to be understanding MAGA has crafted a literal parallel reality to the one we live in through their language, rhetoric and public performances of that reality on mass/social media. These people do not live in the world we do. Are some of you finally ready to accept that?

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Remember, when Vance was caught spewing racist lies that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets, he admitted that "if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."

Proudly, openly a liar.

Alpha News is a far-right site run by the wife of the former head of the Minneapolis police union.

Whoever leaked this to them thinks it makes Ross look good.

Which is just astonishing.
Alpha News claims that it has obtained the cellphone video recorded by the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good.
