This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.

ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

This makes no sense…

An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…

No thanks

If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

Sign the petition & help make that law.

NYT video analysis is pretty definitive. He was out of the path of the vehicle when he fired, the tires were clearly turned to the right, and the President and others are relying on the poorest quality clip to argue he was struck by the vehicle. He wasn’t

Congratulations, MAGAs, you’ve thoroughly and completely owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, affordable groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

It's bizarre that some politicians are trying to behave as if the US president were sane, or capable of reason or moral judgement.

"hope the leaders now assembling at Davos speak out against Trump’s tyrannous assault on international laws & rules. Their collective repudiation of Trump would give other CEOs & world leaders cover to express their opposition as well. It could be a tipping point."

Davos’s Duty
Today, CEOs and heads of state from around the world gather in Davos for the annual confab of the rich and powerful. Trump will be there, too. They must denounce him.

Can someone explain to me what Todd Blanche hopes to get out of this in the end? Like, I get that JD and Marco think they might get to be president. Miller gets to live out his psychopathic fantasy. But Blanche…? This is his peak. Is it to be AG when Trump fires Bondi? Like what is his point
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

I think a sporting boycott would be impactful and proportionate. But let's not pretend it won't impact the countries who boycott. These are not Jollies, they are important events in the lives and careers of a large number of people.
It's a serious business to ask for a boycott
But, it's serious
Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Starmer: any decision about the future status of Greenland "belongs to the people of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark alone". It’s a fundamental right and the UK supports it.
