Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."
An immigration lawyer who tried to stave off ICE disappearances in Lower Manhattan last week spoke to Hell Gate about the trap that's being set for immigrants.

"This is so extreme, from both a legal perspective and one's conscience," she told Hell Gate.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

After listening to Laurence Reece’s thought provoking book the “The Nazi Mind” I wondered how people today would react to rise of fascism. So had a play with Chat GPT and used Tally.so to create the form & scoring - was quite easy to use. This 42 question quiz is the result.

Any British journalists want to interview Pete whose arm tattoo is now being unwittingly used to send people to slave camps in El Salvador?
And finally, what kicked it off; @itstygrey.bsky.social found the original source of the clock tattoo in the HSI document. A British tattoo artist posted it to Instagram in February 2016, and it appears to be on the arm of a British guy named Pete.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place):

1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

Watters: We are waging a 21st century information warfare campaign from the left…It's like grassroots guerrilla warfare. Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it.. and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it.

@jon4highpeak.bsky.social just wonder if you have any comment. I know as member of a local charity the support Ruth has given over many years as a MP / Councillor both to the charity and community. And heard suggestions locally she stand as an independent which may split vote.
