ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Absolutely incredible that the "migrants ate my geese/swans/etc" lie is still doing the rounds over 20 years after it first started doing the rounds
What if the geese actually migrated early to Svalbard and are now poaching seals 'to be cooked and eaten on Christmas Day' (according to locals.)

They literally couldn’t be bothered to even show up to discuss the VAWG strategy today. bsky.app/profile/sara...
A grand total of 10 Conservatives (one woman) and 0 Reform present for a statement on the VAWG strategy.
Clearly protecting women and girls isn’t that much of a priority for them.

Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

I am still genuinely blown away by this from Badenoch. The level of racism, ignorance, outright lying, going on here is off the charts. It is astounding that we have sunk to such lows that this is treated as a "normal" message from the leader of the opposition.

Incredibly brave. Imagine the faceless bores the BBC will have making their programmes if they continue down this path.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

apart from the sheer inconceivable horror of the El Fasher massacre and its attendant horrors itself, the thing I'm feeling depressed about is that it probably won't matter.

The obsession with Christmas being cancelled is one of the maddest tropes of the far right. It's obviously not true and will never be true but they need it to be an imminent possibility. Where would they be without their imagined peril?
