(NBC) So, DHS says that they DO have body cam video of the killing of Ale Pretti in Minneapolis? Got to see it to believe that is the case. But if yes, have to compare to handheld camera video.

Whole continent of #Europe mourns loss of #USA to dark forces, authoritarianism, neo-imperialism, oppression of freedom & international criminal lauding.
Perhaps we should pay for a cargo ship to take her back east where she'd feel more at home.
What a disaster for everyone.

So, #ice now threaten violence, arrest to accredited #Italian journalists in #minneapolis doing nothing wrong.
This is why many #europeans think at least twice before stepping on #USA soil. Me included :(
I hope #meloni despite ideological alignment w/ Trump stands up for her citizens.

2 risible extremists. Blood curdling delusional, divisive chancers.
#Fareham #Waterlooville deserve so much better than this pair & their cronies.

#Farage - meet Posh George #Cottrell - convicted criminal up to no good in Montenegro, mostly. #Reform is surrounded by bigots, racists, dinosaurs and liars. Georgie still fundraises & is known associate of Tommy Robinson et al.
Come May, UK must galvanise and stop this rot. We are not Trump lite.

Full next week of meetings entirely moved from 🇺🇲 to Toronto 🇨🇦.
Hotels moved from chains supporting #ICE to indy. Car rental indy op, Mini Cooper. Cousin cancelled his trip to The Rockies, going to Vancouver. Cancelled #Netflix
That's just us. There's many more. We're sorry...

#ice #cbp #dhs #portland Mid 2025. I'm in a suit, leaving meeting en route airport. ICE outside heard my Scots twang. "Citizenship, authority to be in US". Snarling at my bemused face. Guy opposite - nothing to do with me- Hispanic cuffed, treated v badly. #USA- save yourselves from tyranny...

Yes they're terrified. Aside - Labour vote in Bristol in the doldrums; Debonnaire was chucked partly because she was arrogant & complacent. Norris is an embarrassment and Darren Jones despite a healthy majority, not well liked.
#Gorton is one nail. The coffin is unfortunately lined up.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?
Reform winning?
Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.
They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

I'm no military analyst, but it seems to me #canada should sway from #f35 and grab these #saab #gripens for a whole host of political and non-political considerations. One being the sickening prospect of Trump 3.0 under a different face.

4,037 miles.
Approx air distance between #Minneapolis & #London.
So, that distance east of the New World, an illegal immigrant is apprehended in #Kent, UK. He's given a glass of water & later, help. In MN a US citizen is shot in the head.
4037 miles - distance between civilisation & fascism

There's a bit of Robert Burns in us all who believe in democracy, justice. He supported revolutions in America, France, Ireland that rocked 18th c world; he backed democratic reform inside Britain...
He'd be shocked by MAGA, Trump et al. Aye.

Through no fault of my own, became #homeless final year of Uni in #Glasgow. Studied in the library, slept on a bench or hostel. Got a 1st.
The guy who ran the showers at the rail station took me under his wing.
Passed away recently. Went to funeral.
Thank you Jimmy, for everything. #kindness

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

My God. Swivelled eyed lunatics of Pennsylvania Avenue - beyond the pale. #Vance believes free press is a threat; #Noem - incompetent sycophant & #Bovino needs a straitjacket.
Some ask why I asked American associates to meet me in T.O. 🇨🇦? Em Duh? Love Boston, but it can wait.
:( Sickened.
