So many stories, verified, like this coming out of US about ICE detention right now. Let's just be totally clear, it is not hyperbole to call ICE "Trump's Gestapo", or their detention sites concentration camps. They meet all of the criteria. Anywhere else this would be receiving global condemnation.
A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

What kind of depraved psychopath puts a semi-colon in a scribbled note AND omits the “the” from “all very best”?

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is
In this piece, admitting the BBC has broken its impartiality rules re. trans people, the BBC further breaks its impartiality rules by changing a quote saying "trans identity" to "trans ideology".
Martine Croxall broke rules over 'pregnant people' facial expression, BBC says
The BBC newsreader was reading out a news bulletin about research on groups most at risk in UK heatwaves.

We need to frame this as “Billionaires need to *take less* - framing it as they’re going to “pay more” implies that they’ve somehow ‘earned’ their billions - “taking less” (including taking less tax breaks) so that there’s more to go around for everyone else is grounded in equity narratives.
The Spectator are confused.
It's not going to be cost free.
Billionaires are going to pay more.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Guardian writers campaigned against puberty-blockers because they were prescribed "off label".
Now the Guardian is celebrating Ozempic, a drug being used off label for obesity.
The difference...?
Puberty-blockers have been used for trans kids for 30+ years, Ozempic for obesity only for 4 years.

We are already helping several employees sue employers for enforcing the EHRC Interim Guidance, which *we think* is unlawful. Should the High Court agree, we plan to make available in generic form, for free, and in a usable state, all the legal materials a trans employee needs to sue their employer.
I'd venture politely to suggest that if the EHRC had done its job and written a code that was about the law rather the pursuit of an anti-trans ideological agenda duty bearers would be better able to do what she urges upon them.

Souvannarath is likely a citizen, ICE kidnapped him, he filed habeas, a judge ordered he not be deported, and *the next day* DHS deported him.
DHS told the press they didn't get the order, which is undoubtedly a lie and will be perjury when they say it to the court.
