Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

Tesla boss Elon Musk will receive $1tn (£740bn) pay package if he hits targets. Already the richest man in the world. Used his wealth to support Trump. Wants to fund Farage and create the same mess in the UK. Classic example of how the rich buy power.
"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...
Reform is a magnet for racists without a home, a bin for failed Tory MPs without a future, a crèche for brainwashed children with no clue about anything, and a stage for morons who want to dress up in glittery flags, shouting. It is anything but a serious government in waiting.

RFK Jr. is an empty husk of a shop-soiled moron.
If Keir Starmer thinks a reshuffle will solve anything he is learning the wrong lessons from the calamity Conservatives. He needs to grab the bull by the horns and confront the real issues, not just move people around the cabinet table.
I preferred her as Mad Nad McMad, the maddest Culture Secretary ever.
As if Putin ever had a problem with illegitimate targets…
Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers
Farage tells Reform conference: “We refuse to have our children’s minds poisoned with a twisted interpretation of history.” What I suspect he really means is that he wants children to get taught a bunch of self-affirming lies about the past aka fake history and that's really very dangerous indeed.
So if you’re right wing you’re allowed to minimise tax because you’re an avowed cunt but if you’re left wing you must die? Is that it?
The last two months in which American economy lost jobs were June 2025 and December 2020 -- both while Donald Trump was president. Never happened under Biden.
Wasn’t Trump found liable for mortgage fraud? Seems like lying to lenders about the square footage of your apartment to get lower interest rates constitutes mortgage fraud.
RLK Jr. already had a new arsehole; it’s between his nose and his chin.
Trump, and his administration, have ensured that there are no repercussions, or consequences, for their illegality.
So Trump approved a botched military mission during which SEALs killed a number of North Korean civilians, and then likely illegally the Trump administration never briefed Congress about it
Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on £400,000 GB News earnings. Poor attendance record in parliament, collects £94,000 salary+expenses. Has used a trust fund in an offshore tax haven. Previously described people who try to avoid tax as the “common enemy”.
This is a huge story. Don't let him get away with it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Just wait until the BBC, Sky, Mail, Telegraph, Express, Sun, and GBeebies get hold of this story of obvious and deliberate tax avoidance! JUST WAIT! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
What on earth has possessed people to believe that Reform’s motley collection of our most abysmal, prejudiced and corrupt politicians - all with a proven track record of epic and piss-taking failure would be a remotely credible government? Seriously people… and media… you’ve lost your goddam minds.
“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
If I had time - or a BBC-sized team - I'd assemble all the Daily Mail front pages hysterically celebrating the Tories doing all the things that left the country in the mess that the paper is now moaning about & somehow trying to blame on, *checks notes*, Keir Starmer. They even worshipped Liz Truss!
My primary impression of Rayner's arrangements regarding her child was what an amazing example of a "good divorce" this was and how dedicated both her and her ex husband obviously are to their co-parenting responsibilities and their children's welfare. I have not seen this mentioned anywhere once.
It’s official - “Nigel Farage is right, don’t vote for him” is a demonstrably awful strategy for Labour. Boosts salience of immigration, costs votes on the left, doesn’t persuade any voters on right (why would they accept a crap knock-off when they can have the original?)

Nigel Farage told US Congress Reform did not ban journalists. This is an outright lie. Yesterday they banned a New World journalist from their conference but Femi here has been physically ejected from Reform UK conferences even though he had journalist credentials. They are free speech hypocrites
President Trump's new Fed nominee claims he is independent — but REFUSES to admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Doesn’t sound like independence to me. And Americans will pay the price.
Farage is such a frog face fascist mother fucker. We need to demolish this charlatan & Keir fkng Starmer needs to wake up and smell the bullshit and start acting like a leader instead of a lacky!.
Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with" JR then demolishes Farage, ending with "You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"
WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?
Breaks his heart, IT REALLY DOES. Zahawi, who claimed thousands from the public purse to heat his stables, attended men-only events where female staff were groped, was fined seven-figure sum for tax irregularities and breaches the ministerial code by failing to disclose it, suggests EQUIVALENCE.
Warner: "Secretary of Health and Human Service -- he doesn't know how many people died from covid, doesn't know if the vaccine saved lives, doesn't understand the issue that OBGYN doctors are fleeing rural America ... "
The media and their backers were determined to get Boris Johnson elected. Remember when he could do no wrong. Ignored all his moral depravity? Well they are doing the same with Farage.
Keir Starmer (posted on Twitter along with the video below): "If you come to our country illegally, you will face detention and return. Don’t believe me? See for yourself." --- Labour are totally lost. Soul gone, moral compass smashed to smithereens. And they will lose in 2029.
SENATOR BENNET: "I'm asking the questions — on behalf of parents and schools and teachers all over 🇺🇸 who deserve so much better than your leadership!”
This is the best advert I have ever seen for a news provider. And Private Eye and The Onion have done some belters.
RFK Jr: You're just making stuff up, senator! HASSAN: You know, sometimes when you make an accusation it's kind of a confession, Mr Kennedy
We’ve been banned from Reform Party events for two years now. Why does Nigel Farage lie to Congress about this? @bylinetimes.bsky.social @josiah.writes.news
The thing that really bugs me is that every single one used the photo of Rayner welling up with tears, as if to congratulate themselves. "Look lads, we distressed a woman about her child. Hurrah for us." Utterly siociopathic.
HMRC pays debt collectors hundred of pounds to chase people who owe as little as £89, losing hundreds of pounds on each case. But it has let a £500,000,000 debt from Lord Bamford build up over more than 10 years. HMRC isn't about collecting money.
All these Tories lining up to condemn Rayner 🤣 They all defended Hunt’s tax dodge. They all ignored Zahawi threatening a tax journalist. They all ignored Sunak’s non-dom wife and US green card. Absolute chancers. Pathetic.
#YesScotland🏴
Oh. yeah. We should definitely vote in this demigod to run the country. 😂
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Letters in The Times that sum up Labour’s deeply inadequate response to the perceived immigration ‘crisis’. Cruelty as policy and performative patriotism to try to pacify (rather than challenge) the frothing right wing press and the baying racist mob. It’s all just so gutless and wrong.
Masked men putting up flags and demanding that passers by who challenge them tell them where they come from is not something to be celebrated. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The fact that nobody is talking about how trump said garbage bags flying out of his window was "AI" and didn't happen, even though his White House confirmed it DID happen, is why we can't have nice things. It's a firehose of insanity.
With apologies for the bad language but what in the gibbering Hades is this fucking nonsense?
Does Labour's approval rate need to hit 0% before they get the message that they're barking up the wrong tree in the wrong forest with their constant attacks on immigrants, terminal weakness on Gaza, etc. etc. ?
Starmer could have said: Vandalism isn't patriotism; daubing red crosses on Chinese takeaways and writing racist graffiti isn't patriotism; perfomatively sitting in front of a flag or tying one to a mosque isn't patriotism; Patriotism is about making this country safe, happy productive for all.
Yet another capitulation to Reform, when all the evidence shows that following the far right agenda is a disaster for centrist parties. Politics 101, which Starmer has once again entirely failed to grasp.
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it. This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.
Repeat after me, there is no such thing as a former KGB agent, only a dead former KGB agent.
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
People like Farage and Robinson embolden them.
Still staggered that Byline has no less than six contributors named on the Kremlin’s latest stop list - way more than any other UK media organisation. But beginning to wonder if this is as much to do with our investigation of the Levedevs (who still control a raft of UK media)
People in the UK often say I am a drama queen on what the UK government is doing to the wine trade and how much it taxes it. So when you don’t tax it to death, this is what a supermarket like Lidi in France can do. Yes it’s cheaper than bottled water. If that doesn’t make it clear I give up!
Perhaps if they weren't out all day getting coked up and shouting at buildings they could hold down the jobs that they say the asylum seekers are taking?

Witkoff would have difficulty walking in a straight line and counting to 5 at the same time.
Coincidentally, you can also tell RFK Jr is a total arsehole by listening to what he says.
Twice a week ain’t bad. I swear every time I see or hear the asshole.
I posted this 20 months ago in an unmentionable place. It has become no less true.
A lot of stupid people realise they’re stupid, and shut up. This doesn’t apply to RFK Jr.
Putin knows that Trump is weak, vain, and a shit POTUS.
My mistake.
It's hard to understand what Starmer was apologising for on his 'island of strangers' comments when he's now apparently perfectly happy putting out obvious racist bait like this
It should be piss-easy to keep the Farage Clown Show in check: he adores Trump (the British hate him); he comes up with cruel policies (that the British hate); he gets very prickly when asked hard questions and simplism doesn't work. Starmer is a rabbit in headlights. bsky.app/profile/youg...
The NRA says it does.
Breaking: According to Minneapolis police, two children — ages 8 and 10 — have been killed in the church shooting. 14 children and three adults injured. Minneapolis mayor Frey: "Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."
Too few politicians (in US and elsewhere) have the cajones to call out Trump for the dangerous, narcissistic, stupid sociopath that he is.
I'm boycotting the state banquet to send a message to both Donald Trump and Keir Starmer that they cannot close their eyes and wish away the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Donald Trump can stop this catastrophe in Gaza and get the hostages released. youtu.be/4MqPsjiage8
Toward the end of The Godfather, Michael Corleone, who has risen to become the head of his crime family, orders the assassinations of the heads of rival mobs. In his second stint as president, Donald Trump has taken the same mob boss stance: settling scores with his perceived enemies.
She would have done a better job than most other members (sic) of the Farage Party.
Nick Thomas-Symonds, "Boris Johnson realised the Brexit deal was bad once it was explained to him" "My hunch, he probably accepted the bad consequences but decided ideology mattered more than reality" "The result was the first free trade deal in history that made it harder to trade"
I’m just sick of Nigel Farage.
"When is everyone going to say we have had enough of Islam once and for all?" asks Loomer. Imagine a top ally of President Biden saying: "When is everyone going to say we have had enough of Judaism once and for all?" Would there be media silence? Wouldn't every Democrat be asked to denounce it?
Farage ‘hasn’t got the faintest idea’ of consequences of leaving ECHR, says Benn
Nate White said this about Trump. It stands as the best description I have ever read…
Absolutely ridiculous
Farage doesn't have plans. He has the back of a cigarette packet. And after ten years of this nonsense, chaos and hate you'd think someone would have the bollocks to point that out.
Just spotted here in South East London. Funny how all these growing acts of vandalism are never included in Nigel Farage's condemnations of "lawless Britain"
Bloody hell.
I’m no historian, but I don’t recall any previous dictator saying they wanted to be a dictator before becoming one…
The fact that an anti-migrant politician, who tells us every single day that he doesn't like immigration, is saying it once again, is not in any way news
Farage and Johnson both learned so much from Trump.
Nigel Farage tells his press conference that his deportations will save the UK "hundreds of billions" of pounds. He knows he can make literally anything up at this point and not be called out for it
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
Funnily enough I don't remember reading similar front pages when Jeremy Hunt bought *seven* luxury seaside apartments from a Conservative donor, in breach of his government's own money laundering rules
Have you misspelled ‘arsehole’?
Could be 667; The Neighbour of the Beast?
The worrying thing is that Vance is being pimped to take over when Donny Boy pops his Cuban-heeled clogs.
He is Nosferatu in creep’s clothing.
Hard to imagine that a Farage associate could be, in some way, dodgy.
