Manchester City play a game of football today. Most of us will be watching. Which makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is why so few care about City’s owner playing an active role in a genocide so gruesome it can be seen from space. By @barneyronay.bsky.social

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

First player announcement on deadline day.
Incorrect reports that we had an interest in Jonny Smith. He was never a traget.
Last year we were in The Strugglers by 4pm. This year I am enjoying transfer deadline day from sunny Johannesburg and very happy the window closes at 7pm UK time instead of the normal 11pm.
Whatever happens a busy day ahead for our media team.

Great to welcome an Everton loanee to the Imps. It's been a long time since the last one. Hopefully the start of a closer relationship again with the Toffees.
Three players in and another one (hopefully) close with two weeks still to the end of the transfer window.

Newsom on ICE action outside his presser: "It's pretty sick & pathetic. It's everything you know about Trump's America & the authoritarian tendencies of the president. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will a president running for a third term. Mark my word"
