This is 100% going to be used to put ICE agents outside polling stations in areas where they want to suppress the vote.
BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California.
Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

I've spent the last three years researching Grimsby Town FC for my PhD.
So in the wake of last night, I wanted to write a piece on what makes #GTFC such a special club, and what Manchester United can learn from the supposed "little fish" of English football.

The Real Big Fish
Last night isn’t about Manchester United’s declension. It's about Grimsby Town’s ascension.

Indeed. Trump is 'dovish' or 'pacifist' if you ignore trivialities like 'number of bombs dropped in Afghanistan 2016-2020' compared to '2006-2016' (when DoD started to measure) and instead focus on 'the world as Ian Leslie would like it to be'.
Though he did bomb Syria and is currently threatening Canada, Greenland, and Panama plus he's just sent a load of weapons to Israel, so I'm not sure pacifist is the right word.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

I've underperformed vegetables like lettuces and broccoli
I know the cheese of England, and I want a Keir apology
From pork markets to pensions too, my life is tragicomedy

If you're a Labour government with a big majority and you can't or won't address the biggest avoidable source of acute suffering in society - the dreadful plight of millions of elderly with care needs, obvious for decades, unaddressed for decades - then what on earth are you there for?
