Amazing story: one of the organisers of the group putting Union Flags up around Manchester previously did time for being part of a people smuggling gang. manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
"Did you people throw this kind of shit-fit at Denny’s, or did you just order a Moons Over My Hammy and keep on truckin’?"
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

I’m in an apartment in LA watching and did the same thing
I was at a bar and she said you are so big and strong and powerful so I said hey here’s my credit card and car keys and she said you are so smart and I said here is my bank account information and the title to my house and…

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to Shaw what a hell-hole it is.
Justice for sandwich bro!
How satisfying would it be to watch a jumbo slices wrapped around the face of a facist while they are pelted with wings and drenched in a chili sauce covered half smoke attack from above?
If we are going to start weaponizing food to prevent the authoritarian takeover of DC, I think we need to stay on brand and use half smokes, jumbo slices, and mumbo sauce wings.
Here’s a 2019 story about the “model”, explains how she was pulled into Epsteins orbit, eventually raped, taken to the private islands, etc. This seems around the same time she was passed on to Trump. just say mid-90s. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncn...
Looking forward to my check from the pharma industry.
I guess she’d aged out. But still seems to fit a certain pattern.
A now-public video from 1992 shows Trump and Epstein socializing at Mar-a-Lago during a party that reportedly included cheerleaders and other women brought in for the two men and their friends.👇

BREAKING On April 24, Elon Musk's Neuralink falsely self-certified as a "small disadvantaged business" on a federal filing, a designation that qualifies the company for preferential treatment as part of a racial and ethnic diversity initiative.

Once again: "Who was president in 2020?" Is a question so many politicians, pundits and even mainstream media have a hard time answering correctly.
WATCH: House Republicans block a vote to release the Epstein files
Sincere question- how much do they rely on the undocumented labor force, and is that part of it? Living in CA, I know what is happening here will end up happening nationwide, and how much that will devastate the ag industry.
Update: apparently airport employees are telling travelers that the thunderstorm excuse is fake and Trump is the real reason the airport was shut down for 4 hours
BREAKING: Metadata shows the FBI’s ‘raw’ Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified. 🧵

It’s not Tiananman Square. These vehicles don’t stop. A deflated American spirit is left behind.
I know some LA lawyers follow me, if anyone can help this family figure out if their loved one got swept up by ICE mistakenly (he is a US citizen but unhoused with a Nigerian name) please call them or PM their family friend who posted this to Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/SantaMonic...

If the NYT is so concerned about people lying about higher education, here's a story for them!
NEW from me — FEMA staffers say the response to the Texas floods is horrifyingly slow, and it may be because of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's recent increased control over how the agency spends money. "If this is how they are going to do a major hurricane response, people are fucked.”
NEW: in the wake of devastating floods in tx, some officials say NWS forecasts weren't sufficient enough to warn them, while others are warning that DOGE cuts may have made predictions less accurate. meteorologists told me: NWS did a solid job with the forecasts around this storm
And I’m still going to be paying interest on my 2023 ford.

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.
That’s not a flaw in their minds, that’s their goal. It’s sick.
Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.
Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge. When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.
Also immigrants: Reps. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), Carlos Giménez (R-FL), and Victoria Spartz (R-IN). And Rep. Young Kim's (R-CA)—herself an immigrant—husband. And Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) wife. And Rep. Cory Mills's (R-FL) (now estranged) wife; they married in a mosque.

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.
This is the slap back to Stephen Miller’s “arrest everyone” madness. And an admission that Trump is under pressure from multiple industries that rely on migrant workers. This is huge and important. Keep amplifying the harm done by the Trump/Miller zealous, cruel overreach. Don’t bury this.
Remigration is a far-right European concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation or promoted voluntary return of non-white immigrants and their descendants...to their place of racial ancestry, often with no regard for their citizenship or legal status. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigra...

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”
Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
If it wasn’t for the agents he could have passed for someone’s grandpa! And then he started talking and the stories and insights blew my mind.

Being an undergrad at Emory and having President Carter speak to a couple of my classes was amazing. And had the chance to do a seminar class where we had access to the Carter Center team on a conflict resolution plan for Sudan.
According to the official White House account, the US is in the midst of an "insurrection" that warrants federalization of the National Guard, which is why the President is attending a UFC fight and hanging out with Dana White.
Archived post here: Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate Lower Than U.S.-Born Citizen Rate | National Institute of Justice 2/2 nij.ojp.gov/topics/artic...
DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

SCOOP: Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only 2 claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents I obtained. The policy has slowed down payments, though. Retirement claim processing is down 25%

Former Netanyahu defence minister says Israel is engaging in “war crimes” and “ethic cleansing” in Gaza. So, I guess we should expect him to be blacklisted as an antisemite by Canary Mission and denied entry/detained by the US? www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...
