I am angry at these 8 Senators who bent the knee to Trump. You will cause many to lose ACA. 🖕
There is a protest against Angus King near his home today. I will be there.

A 1-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed through the window of a moving vehicle by ICE agents in Chicago. She was briefly hospitalized.

The dad said a masked agent pointed pepper-spray at a Sam's parking lot when they were hit.

As I pointed out elsewhere, it's interesting that the two outright transphobes post only on twitter, the one who isn't a massive transphobe posts here as well, but, you know, echo chambers and all that

The Panorama edit was poor journalism, not sure how it happened (more than 15 yo when I worked there we all had to go on a course because someone made the Queen look grumpy about something in the wrong order). But of all of it, this is the only piece I’ve read that properly nails the issue…
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

This feels like it should be a much bigger story, no? "The number of patient deaths being investigated as possible manslaughter at a troubled NHS hospital has more than doubled to 90, the Guardian can reveal."

Meanwhile in Irish rightwing media, their ‘star’ journos will be all - ‘we will regret Michael D Higgins as president in years to come.’ Apparently it will be because he didn’t read sections of Mein Kampf* on TV after the Angelus, Goose-Step in the Áras or kit out the Defence Forces in Hugo Boss

The big Supervalu in Roscrea burned down last night. Like totally gutted. Lot of flats over it too. No one hurt but people will have lost everything. Dozens of people out of work. Lot of older people depended on it as its the only place that delivered groceries. A real blow to an already dying town.

For non-Irish: The show premise is that Tommy Tiernan (the dad on Derry Girls) doesn’t know who his guest is until they appear.

The chat with Ireland’s outgoing president, Michael D Higgins, is beautiful.

I made the kid watch it to study how Irish people can dance across registers.

If you think there's no connection between the recent public statements on immigration by Harris, Martin, O'Callaghan et al and these attacks, then I have some magic beans you might be interested in.
This is the predictable, inevitable, shameful result of their adoption of far-right rhetoric.
