I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

This IS the result of the Supreme Court of the United States of America giving the most amoral person in America immunity from his crimes.

Crimes that stack up daily.

Including 115 counts of 1st-degree murder of unarmed civilians suspected of crimes not punishable by the death penalty.

As you already well know by now, it's all lies.

Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie.

All of it.

Every time.

The Trump government really is tone-deaf isn’t it? “We’ll attack Iran if they don’t stop killing protestors.” Absolutely no sense of irony or introspection over their own assurance of immunity for their representatives when they killed their own citizen bearing witness/protest against ICE.

The suggestion that the ICE agent was defending himself has a huge flaw: someone who’s just been shot, fatally or otherwise, is going to be MORE of a liability when it comes to controlling a tonne of metal, not less. It’s only fortunate no civilians were in its path as the car careened down the road

It’s just heartbreaking. How is evil outweighing good?
Actually, stupid question. Good, by its very nature, is rarely going to get dirty and fight unless things get really really bad. Evil will do anything, without compunction, that serves its own ends.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Saw this on X.

Merlin Strategy, run by Scarlet Maguire (formerly of JL Partners) is Farage's favoured polling company. Until very recently, registered at the same address as the Brexit Party's old one.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Today is a good day to defrost the freezers. No need to wait til their contents are depleted, or to try and squeeze the contents of one into the other. Simply put the freezer drawers outside where they will remain frozen during the defrost 😁🥶

If you’re still on X because you think it’s “where the conversation is”, it isn’t.

Ofcom’s Online Nation Report 2025 shows X is no longer a mainstream platform in the UK. Fewer people use it, engagement is tiny, and harm is concentrated.

Question. Has anyone here seen the Strictly Live Tour and is it worth it? In an arena is what you can see worth the eye-watering ticket prices? Saw a big name comedian in an arena once and swore never again since I just ended up watching the big screens all night. Could do that at home for free.

If I decided it was too much bother to clean my house so I moved into an igloo in Antarctica for the rest of my life, you'd think I was awful stupid.
Tech bros deciding they'd lose too much profit if they stopped destroying the Earth because they can move to Mars someday is even stupider.

The Telegraph highlighting - yet missing - two vital points here.

1) We're not calling for £476m to be spent. It already is - this is about diverting it to actually helping.

2) Why "cruelty" in question? The £476m we're spending is part of an operation tear gassing babies.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M

So YES this has been a huge success.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.
