My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.

He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.

His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Mark Warner: "I hope it would remind folks that J6 was an ugly, awful day, and this administration and president basically pardoned all the perpetrators. It's that kind of picking and choosing of facts from this crowd that makes me a little bit crazy."

*The ICJ has declared it a plausible genocide & laid down actions to follow, Israel ignored these. A UN commission had declared the killing of 70,000 Gazans & the murder & wounding of 50,000 children a genocide. The ICC has issued warrants for Hamas & the Israeli PM for war crimes.

So Irish State TV announced it won’t be taking part in Eurovision*, because of the inclusion of Israel & their genocide in Gaza**. On Twitter this has resulted in hundreds of accounts with ‘Irish’ bios, & names, accusing Irish ppl of being antisemitic. These far right bots are mainly from UK/US.

Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.
Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

Wait until he finds out what Trump and his supporters did. I’m sure he’ll get right on it.

The US plays on Team Bad Guys now, which is where Trump feels comfortable and at home. Bribery and corruption are basically legal, and it's fine to attack and kill your neighbors. The country I grew up in is gone.

I immediately wondered if this is just another distraction. It’s impossible to believe anything a group of habitual liars claims as fact.

The FBI Director just claimed he’s here to “defend the institution.” Which...is adorable...considering he defended the people who attacked it.👇

This article is like a case study in the media normalisation of the far right.

The bulk of the article analyses stats to ask whether Fash Farage is technically correct, when the real issue is his repulsive racism.

Important: Now that Republicans are claiming they're "satisfied" by the video, note that Rep Adam Smith says here that Democrats asked for public release of it, and were told by officials that it isn't their call.

Will Republicans join Dems in calling for the video's release?

All in here:
More: Lawmakers pressed officials on releasing the video, and the officials said it isn't their call. And they have no recording of radio traffic from the men, Rep Smith says.

Video and legal memo on broader strikes should be released. This should increase pressure:

Not sure if Republicans will release Trump’s brain MRI to distract from the Epstein files, or announce he’s on the Epstein list to distract from how bad that MRI is.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

📌So MAGA is protesting against Costco, because Costco is standing against Trump's absurd, costly tariffs, so they can hold prices down that would benefit MAGA.
