CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

I am beyond happy that Rush are back at it, but more importantly, Alex and Geddy seem really happy. Brings a tear to the eye.

I still remember, when protests began two years ago, the people who said interest would inevitably wane and crowds would dwindle over time.

In reality, there are more and more of us with each passing day. No one is going to forget Palestine.

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5).

An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸

Oh thank God, I love that movie

That game showed the folly of United investing so heavily in two new no.10s. Bruno Fernandes is arguably the best 10 in the PL! Just buy some midfielders and let him cook.

Ste McGovern @stemcgovern.bsky.social · 18d

Which would make the decision to take Estevao off before him all the more baffling.

Cole Palmer must be carrying a knock.

Sure, he’s hardly an ideal fit for this 5-3-1 shape with 10 men, as the CMs are going to need to run run run, but to sacrifice his killer ball and quality…he can’t be fully fit. #epl-live

Didn't know you lived in the area. That said, I had no idea where you lived.

Weird pivot given Kirk himself seemed to like the episode??

Absolutely bizarre timeline we're in when the president of the European parliament is giving a statement about the death of an American rage bait artist

European Parliament president Roberta Metsola said: “Shocked at the absolutely horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah today. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and young children – who were the bedrock of his life. May they find strength and may he rest in peace.”

All of this is about bowing before the altar of fascism. Politicians and organisations showing how on board they are with it all to keep themselves safe or even to collaborate with it

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I'd wager that a very large percentage of Europeans (including the person I live with!) didn't even know who that clown was before today.

Don't have one myself, but the steam deck case is a semi decent placeholder until you find a proper one.

Also, if you're using the dock regularly, get a screen protector. Lots of people complaining they scratched the screen taking it out, which never really happened with the S1.

Mad thing is, Armenia should have won by a much bigger margin, if not for Kelleher/VAR. Dreadful performance. #coybig

That is a lovely finish by Evan Ferguson. We're not dead yet. #coybig
