When I was pregnant, I tried to eat well, stay healthy & protect myself from undue stress because the baby could be affected.
For this reason, ICE had a long time policy not to detain pregnant people.
But now they are detaining them, brutalizing them & denying medical attention.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why

The chaos in the BBC is yet more proof that the pillars of the 20th century are collapsing in the 21st century. From the two-party system to the national broadcaster, the old certainties are falling apart. The decline has far to go. Is democracy itself next?

Crisis-hit BBC is just another casualty of the collapse of the 20th century rulebook
Like the Tory-Labour duopoly and the NHS, the BBC is a hangover from an age that’s dying. We must find how to make the media relevant again,…

The current ‘reset’ with the EU is pathetic!
“By the government’s own estimate the reset of EU-UK trade will deliver just 0.3 per cent uplift to UK GDP by 2030 — less than one-tenth of the 4 per cent long-run hit to GDP that Brexit will cause, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility” FT
