Mass illness is the point of concentration camps. It's not that the camps are failing, they are succeeding for their intended purpose.
“Leecia Welch, the chief legal counsel at Children's Rights, recently told @people.com that illness has been an issue in the family detainment center this winter, sharing that when she visited recently to check in on children's conditions, ‘Pretty much everyone we talked to was sick.’”
Detained five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos is sick, where are those pro-lifers demanding his immediate release? people.com/liam-conejo-...

"Merdas Touch" 🤣
To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

In a time of shameless F’d up lies and statements this one is REALLY foul.
To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."
In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Watching the Great Pottery Throw Down. Emily Hesling's "missing lynx" was a deserving winner this week as a great bit of raku sculpture. But also a nice plug on national TV for species reintroduction and ecosystem restoration. Bring back the missing lynx!

So ICE are withdrawing from a city that met its attacks with weeks of solidarity patrols, defiance of deadly violence, an historic general strike...

A Manchester mayoral election would be expensive, a Labour leadership contest would be a psychodrama, the Denton and Gorton by-election is an unfortunate distraction, council elections are premature... Fuck it, we've got rid of trials by jury, why not just scrap elections while you're at it 🙃

Did the @rspb.bsky.social #biggardenbirdwatch in the rain yesterday. Just two brief visits, a blue tit and a house sparrow. Oh well, a low data point is still a data point and it's a nice excuse to spend an hour taking in the garden.

Today's shooting happened because no one in power did shit about Jonathan Ross killing Renee Good. There are zero consequences for murdering people if you work for ICE. And they know it. And it'll happen again soon.
