Borders Czar Tom Homan just announced he’s ramping up ICE operations in NYC.

Same playbook we’ve been seeing in LA, DC, Chicago & Charlotte. They aren’t hunting criminals, they’re targeting workers and people who are part of the community. Families. Neighbors. The people who keep the city running.

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Alongside colleagues I've written to the Minister for Women & Equalities about the appointment of the new EHRC Chair.

We share the concerns that both the JCHR and WEC had during the pre-appointment hearing.

The EHRC urgently needs to rebuild trust with all communities.

Dear @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social : WHY no @libdems.org.uk on BBC #politicslive when talking about Ofwat and water systems when they've been campaigning about this for years?

Instead you platform Reform again.

The BBC has a huge right wing bias.

The UK Parliament has declared its own trans bathroom ban, caving to activists who accosted a trans barrister. Originally said they were awaiting EHRC code of practice, but have now capitulated to bullying.

Looks targeted given the trans Mass Lobby this week.
