This is one of the most powerful things you’ll watch online or TV. It puts the Tories, and in particular Kemi Badenoch, to shame.
Not to mention anyone else who has tried to use the horror of the grooming gangs for political point-scoring.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today.

I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children.

Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us.

One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

Both police and Gavin Newsom with a straight face push conspiracy theories of "professional protesters" who "go from one unrest to the other," while hundreds of literal military troops are being shipped into a city to shoot weapons at working-class people standing up for their neighbors.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.

It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.
These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.

This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.

So ICE took her into custody.

The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

"As a rule, I don’t react immediately to large scale mass casualty incidents. Not because I don’t care – but because I know what I am: a social media commentator, miles away from the scene...

Populist far-right agitators don’t seem to share that restraint though."

A more personal substack post today about the first refugee I hosted through @refugeesathome.bsky.social .

It's not something I talk about much but I felt I needed to write something in response to the increasingly hostile environment for refugees.

Asylum seekers CAN'T claim benefits. You need a NI no for that.

Asylum seekers WANT to work. But it's not allowed.

Asylum seekers DO NOT live in 5* hotels. They live in cramped rooms w/o access to cooking facilities.

Asylum seekers get £49.18p/w to live off.

... Is THIS the luxury you speak of?

A little louder for all those who don't seem to get it:

It’s not desperate migrants making you poor.

It’s governments funnelling your taxes to the rich.

The powerless aren’t a threat.

The powerful are.

Blame the ones in boardrooms, wearing suits and paying no taxes, not the ones in lifeboats.

The Trump administration continues to ignore the courts.

278 men are still in CECOT prison without a trial, sentence, or any form of due process.

Here's one of their stories. Dad is in CECOT. Mom, deported to Venezuela. Their beautiful toddler, in foster care in the US, whereabouts unknown.

Did you know the Tories signed a Youth Mobility Scheme with Uruguay in Aug 2023?

The UK also has a YMS with Andorra, Australia, Canada, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Iceland, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, San Marino & Taiwan.

So will Tories also support one with the EU? Would be inconsistent not to.
