'I think people are going to question everything that they see online, because, more and more, we’re seeing AI slop and misinformation,' says Dr Niamh Lynch, 'and it may come to the point where, actually, a physical book that you can pick up is more trustworthy than opening your phone and scrolling'
Dr Niamh Lynch: ‘When I said you shouldn’t give your kids popcorn if they’re under five – people lost their minds’
It’s a strange sort of honour to know you’re responsible for putting a lot of people in hospital, but one Niamh Lynch is very familiar with.

This is a scheduled pogrom
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

The fact that Vance and Miller - the most powerful members of the administration - are publicly socially intermeshed with open and unapologetic Nazis is the Chekhov’s gun of Trump’s second term, even if the press have refuse to acknowledge.

What we talk about when we talk about Anne Frank hiding from ICE
Is it ok to invoke Anne Frank in discussing kids hiding from ICE? Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum disagree.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorating the day in 1945 when the Red Army reached Auschwitz in occupied Poland.
Naturally, the Trump administration decided to commemorate the day by doing Holocaust historical revisionism, pretending Anne Frank's family had "legal" status.

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."
In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

I find takes like this unsatisfying because they ignore the point of the Nazi analogy. It's not about denying America's history of racist terror. "Nazi" is not just code for "bad but in a way that specifically doesn't implicate US antecedents." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/26/o...
Don’t look to Germany for an analogy. The Minneapolis nightmare is uniquely American. - The Boston Globe
In order to defeat the white nationalism that is at the core of ICE’s assault on American democracy, we have to see it and treat it as what it is.

ICE is riddled with sex criminals.
A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes.
At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.
