This is neither an overhaul or tighten. Asylum seekers make up a small proportion of inward migration. They’re also the worst off. Making their situation more painful to appease a few morons who believe refugees make their own lives worse, it’s brutal

This is a huge embarrassment and substantially more problematic than the Panorama edit.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

The article is worse than the headline suggests. I am trying to avoid American politics online but as the brother of someone like this, this story really upset me. The idea of him being separated from his mother for 54 days, seeing her only 3 times, facing emergency surgery alone, is heartbreaking
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Before women, the workplace was perfect. It was full of trees. There was no need to labor with your hands. You didn’t have to wear pants, or any form of clothes. Every kind of animal was there.

Congrats to TERFs, the guy who shares your views on trans rights also holds the position "the Saudis could teach us a thing or two about gender segregation"
Trump: "A lot of the Saudis are sitting here saying, 'What the hell is he talking about? Transitioning?' They don't do a lot of transitioning. They're saying, 'What do you mean women are playing against men? That doesn't happen does it?" Yeah it does. These people are crazy."

There are not “tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.” It’s simply false. It’s wrong by orders of magnitude. It’s the government telling a racist lie to whip up racial hatred of nonwhite Americans, especially Latinos. It’s one of the most overt acts of white supremacy in US history.
this defies parody. also helps explain why Sec Bessent bizarrely blamed immigrants when confronted with a question about high beef prices
