TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Tomorrow in class I'll be telling my students about the scrappy TV animation production company Filmation, and I am deeply, deeply psyched. Say what you will about them, those fellas knew how to do awesome glowing energy effects. A thing very much in evidence here.

Once again trawling through the intimate messages of a married couple, which they’re required to submit for a Join Spouse visa to be issued, feeling embarrassed on my behalf and anger on theirs. Why on earth do civil servants at the Department of Justice have any entitlement to read these #speirgorm

Reminder that British journalists have a weird fetish for Harry Potter because it's a fantasy world where nobody mentions how fucking weird it is that everybody was privately educated in just five schools

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."
That's a death threat.
If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them.

I hope any films or TV shows dramatising recent events in Minnesota cast a regular size actor as Bovino but use oversized props and forced perspective trickery to make him look even shorter.

A piece of wood hit my eye while I was trying to protect my family with a tent.
I’m in severe pain and may lose my vision without urgent treatment.
The cost is $250. We are displaced, with nothing left.

You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

A British soldier once used his gun to furiously knock out a tray of chips my uncle was carrying and eating after a night out in Newry, because no chippy in the town would serve them - sincerely hope no ICE officer is able to enjoy a treat for the rest of their days in their locality

The gestapo forcibly removed my 10-year-old grandfather and his younger brother from their home after my great grandfather spoke out against the government, threatened dispossession and other extrajudicial measures. Yes it’s the same.

After Careful Thought, I Have Decided That Our Ship Actually Is Being Attacked by the Kraken
For a long time I resisted the idea that the multiple tentacles tearing at the thin wooden planks of our vessel represented some kind of 'sea monster' threat. But when the facts change, I change my mind.

People say that the GOP is all stick no carrot, that they forgot the bread and circuses.
But the thing is these guys are all incredibly cooked in the CSAM slop Nazi bar, playing to a tiny but loud group of utter freaks for whom murder and cruelty *is* the carrot and the bread and the circus.
