A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Good for London, don’t give Farage a chance to do to the UK what Trump is doing to the US.
London joined Minnesota. Trafalgar Square filled with protesters demanding justice for Alex Pretti and rejecting Farage. When state violence goes unchecked, the world pays attention.

Ukraine has proven that deep strikes on Russian oil infrastructure work.

By taking out refineries they are forcing Russia to face a revenue collapse.

We must help them scale this capability immediately

ICE doesn’t de-escalate, it escalates, then runs.

🚨ICE agent pepper-sprays woman after shoving her. Totally unnecessary. Santa Barbara police and paramedics showed up to clean up the mess. ICE already fled the scene.

They don’t care until they need somewhere to go when there is a tragedy of some sort.

Often the church is the only publicly accessible space left.
As Dame Sarah Mullally is sworn in as the first woman Archbishop of Canterbury, 73% of Britons say they don't care about the Church of England

Care a lot: 5%
Care a fair amount: 16%
Don't care very much: 33%
Don't care at all: 40%

The recent flushing out of the Conservative Party’s dregs has made Reform look more like the Conservatives but the Conservatives look less like Reform.
Britons have become less likely to see the Tories and Reform UK as very different, as Suella Braverman becomes the latest Tory to defect to Farage's party

Very similar: 14% (+1 from 9-10 Sep 2025)
Fairly similar: 34% (+1)
Fairly different: 22% (+1)
Very different: 10% (-11)

Don't know: 20% (+7)

Great piece from someone who knows what real war is like.
“If we continue to show disdain for our allies, if we fail to appreciate their contribution to our national security and greater global stability, we may find ourselves fighting alone someday. And trust me, war is never a contest you want to fight alone.”

The publication of a sermon condoning 'physical discipline' of women by a masjid after previously being warned by the regulator is a perfect illustration of how giving misogynistic religious charities 'advice and guidance' isn't working.
