It's Election Day in many parts of the country. The governors, mayors, city councils, state reps, judges, school boards, and referendums you vote for today will be a vital line of defense against the Trump regime. You still have power. Use it.

Here's the crucial part of the summary of today's Court of Appeal judgment (full text of the judgment not yet public). The Home Office raised the ECHR in written proceedings, but not oral argument. The rest of the summary makes no mention of the ECHR. It seems it was not the basis of the judgment.

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot.
It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski responds to Hungary banning Magyar: “Commander Magyar: if you need some R&R and Hungary won't let you in, please be our guest in Poland.” That’s the difference between standing with freedom—or hiding behind pipelines.

Many Gestapo agents were tried and executed by the Allies.
Many OVRA agents were killed by partisans.
Many Cheka operatives were murdered by their own master's purges.
Good luck, ICE goons. You're going to need it no matter how this thing goes. And you deserve whatever you get.

In this political hellscape of 2025, nothing dates the original "Running Man" movie more than, at the end, the hero broadcasts a video of the bad guys doing bad things and the implication is it brings down the government.

The Battle of DC is underway, brave US troops march on the nation’s Capitol, meeting the enemy head on in a desperate struggle against littering. With steel in their hearts and plastic bags in their hands, the troops brave behind enemy lines.

My journey with #neuropathic #pain has been a rough one.
From #physio to #meds and every intervention in between.
RF ablation, targeted nerve blocks, steroids all failed 😟
Great support from my #GP but pain management in #Ireland is a hard slog
My next step, getting #SpinalStimulator #SCS implant 🤞
