This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

It’s the 136th anniversary today of some highly prized artefacts from Ancient Egypt being auctioned in Liverpool. From there, the 180,000 mummified cats in question went to their splendid and dignified final resting place. A museum?
No. They were ground up and used for fertiliser 🧵

1. People struggle to reconcile Keir Starmer’s ruthless ambition, Machiavellian manoeuvres, breaking of promises, collaboration in genocide, bans on protest, aid cuts, benefit cuts and war on nature with his history as a human rights lawyer. But perhaps there is no contradiction.

In 2008, Martine Vik Magnusson was raped and killed and her body dumped in a Gt Portland Street basement. Billionaire's son Farouk Abdulhak, who did it, fled back to Yemen the next morning. Here's Jeffrey Epstein seeking legal advice (from an ex-DPP) on how he could be sheltered from justice.

I get people’s caution but it’s interesting, given the blanket news coverage, how little the murder-y stuff in the Epstein files has been discussed.

It's all so deeply sordid, isn't it? The money, the power, the feeling of invincibility that they all have. The absolute certainty that they can do whatever they damned well choose, to whoever they choose, with no repercussions whatsoever. Sickens me.
