I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

I’ve got 30 books on The Holocaust, so not new to the topic. I subscribe to @waitmanwbeorn.com @holocaustpod.bsky.social, you should too. This is from the @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social podcast. An account drew my attention to a new aspect of the wickedness. 1

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Yup, that’s already been happening. At this bus facility, there was at least one kid basically orphaned, because they were on the bus while ICE grabbed their parents. The driver had to figure out what to do with this traumatized kid.

If you’re cycling and see someone riding a horse, particularly if they’re alone, PLEASE slow down! A bike going by at speed can be just as dangerous for us as a car. Max jogged all the way home today after a bike went by us quickly which wasn’t the quiet ride relaxed ride we planned 🫠

The perfect episode to drive the flag botherers to distraction.
In 1914, the Indian Corps arrived at Marseille just in time to save the BEF from potential collapse. This episode looks at the vital WWI legacy that forced the modernization of the Indian Army, preparing it for the brutal realities of the 1940s Burma campaign. #TheGreatWar #WW1 #MilitaryHistory

This made me laugh out loud. Jenrick was just an irritant. I promise you he could walk through my hometown in Scotland unrecognised.
Jenrick saying he's "put aside personal ambition" too join Reform is the single most shameless statement I've ever heard.

If he "put aside personal ambition" he'd disappear. That's all there is.

Thus demonstrating that Jenrick is completely dishonest.
Robert Jenrick asked why he lied last week when he told the Telegraph that he would "never, ever" defect to Reform.

Jenrick replies that joining Reform was "the most honest thing" he could have done.
