The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

Absolutely sadistic.

A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment.

The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.
Or Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in America since he was two years old.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him

His health is declining, they won’t let him get his legs and they’ve placed him in solitary

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

As Scots that the BBC is inherently bias towards the SNP & the Indy movement in general. We have suffered from their pro Westminster Propaganda for years. Back in 2013, A year before our IndyRef Whitehall mobilised the Beeb to rally against us with lies, Pure unadulterated lies.
Did heads roll? No.

Now this is what everyone knows is *Institutional BBC Scotland Bias* in plain sight: anti-Scottish, anti-Scottish Govt & extremely hostile to SNP. The Question is why should Scots pay for this BBC abuse & rubbishing of our cultural life?
Matt Chorley on 5Live did not interrupt Reeves, but let her give full answers to his questions. This never happens on BBC Scot with the FM or any Scot Govt minister: instead the BBC uses overly aggressive questioning, ministers prevented from developing their answers & rude continual interruption.

Why is the BBC News going live to Nigel Farage's comments on the BBC resignations when they have broadcast nothing from the LibDems, who have more than 14 times as many MPs or the SNP who have almost double? If the BBC wants to stop accusations of bias they should stop actively promoting Reform.

Zack vocalises most #scottishgreenparty stances in a very articulate way. His vision is of what an independent Scotland could be #ruyesyet #scottishrepublic #greenyes
After decades of double-speak from labour, the tories, nf/ukip/reform (delete as appropriate for what the fascists are calling themselves these days) it is so refreshing to hear Zack Polanski say simply and clearly what so many in the U.K. have wanted to hear for so long. Nice to have hope again 🙂
Great to see our membership numbers still rising....

Presently re-reading Hitlers British Traitors by Tim Tate: It highlights how many within the 1930s Tory party & the establishment had links with Hitler, and details how they did their utmost to destabilise democracy in the UK. Lessons for today as we see many Tories join the far right & Farage.

We all know where Ali Miraj is going when he asks why 18 - 25 year olds won’t defend the country, when he quotes Gove and Badenoch.
If there’s division here, it’s between those who own multiple properties, and those who have no hope of owning one.
Not race, religion or culture.
