More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

When a fascist orders you to do something.

You don't do it, it is that simple.

They don't own you, never let them think they do.

The misogynistic comments about Diane Abbott, the longest serving Black MP, recounted with glee by Paul Ovenden are utterly despicable.

The fact that the Party knew about this and swept it under the carpet until it was reported in the press, is unforgivable.

“In its heyday an EDL march used to get 10k - Tommy Robinson just got out of prison and inspired a protest of up to 150k.”

Far-right rhetoric is finding evermore mainstream appeal. What’s changed?

This is precisely why Covid-19 vaccines should be available free of charge for everyone in the UK. The government not purchasing enough vaccines to make this possible is the definition of a false economy.

Photo of novelty check suggests Epstein ‘sold’ Trump a woman for $22,500
President and convicted sex offender appear in birthday scrapbook photo with check signed by ‘DJ Trump’ * US politics live – latest updates A scrapbook for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday released on Monday contains a photo of him holding a novelty check signed by Donald Trump with the suggestion that Epstein “sold” him a woman for $22,500, shedding further light on the longtime relationship between the president and the convicted sex offender. The photo shows Epstein and Joel Pashcow, a longtime member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, and a third figure, apparently a woman, whose face is redacted. They are holding a novelty check over a handwritten caption, apparently from Paschow, reading: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women! Sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redaction] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” Continue reading...

They call for unified criteria, education, and patient-centered care.

Russia is pushing for war against Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania because they believe that NATO will back down and that Article 5 is all talk. They also believe that they can obtain an easier military victory that they can use to deflect from their failure in Ukraine.

A tenet of Fascism is keep repeating lies and people will become so confused about what is the truth that they’ll start to believe them. We all have a responsibility to keep repeating the truth in the face of politically-motivated lying. Don’t just roll your eyes, speak up.

There is *no evidence whatsoever* that the Covid vaccine causes cancer in *anyone*.

I’m no royalist but I respect public figures’ right to privacy so won’t comment on the speculation around individual cases. I am horrified that other doctors have chosen to do so.

Can we arrest Nigel Farage?

It does say in UK law, that a person seeking the Aid of a Foreign Government to undermine the UK Government can be considered Treason.

Now he did SPECIFICALLY arrange a meeting with members of a Foreign Government to do exactly such a thing.
