In 2025 I'm going to post more videos of dangerous driving that I witness when out riding my bike. These will be incidents that I don't report to @policescotland.bsky.social because the reporting system is antiquated & time consuming & the courts don't take them seriously I'll use #DNRPoliceScotland

He gave us his thoughts on Green Lanes as we cycled along it, looking at everything. There was also some drama.

Is he suggesting that ICE have access to my precogs (Minority Report) and they'd already seen a possible future where he committed a massacre?! That's the logical route he's going down.
BASH: Footage shows him holding a cell phone, not a gun. Did he at any point pull out his weapon?
BOVINO: We do know that the suspect did bring a weapon, a loaded 9mm high capacity handgun, to a riot.
(That's a no!)

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.

Ok, this is bad if you know what it’s referring to but what on *earth* would you make of that graphic if you didn’t?
Reform UK:
Demonises migrants seeking work as an “invasion”.
Celebrates threat of an actual military invasion of a NATO ally.

People are scared of the spread of fascism, rightly so. We have 🏴 elections in May and it’s essential to keep Reform out. The far right thrive on apathy and hopelessness.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

as a parent I cannot imagine how absolutely fucking heartbreaking and awful it must be to have to put out a statement like this because the federal government killed your son and is telling monstrous lies about him
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Nicollet Ave in South Mpls now resembles a warzone after federal agents killed a man there this morning. Trump is trying his damndest to make this community unlivable.

The Government intends to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. But after his latest insults to British troops sending Charles, Head of the UK Armed Forces, to honour Trump, would be a slap in the face to veterans. Will you add your name to the petition to cancel this state visit?

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

We had a driver actually do a full letter to our local paper complaining about some drivers driving at 78km/h in an 80 limit (presumably doing 82 by speedo then) and that it was impossible to overtake them without risking being done for speeding if the Police were out at that point.
