I love being an immigrant (not an "expat") in France, and wish all immigrants were welcomed wherever they go. No longer have horses (too old to take on any more) but happy with my cats and the ageing biker I married.

The magic of having the world's only fully privatised and most expensive energy.

“Virtually overnight I realised that any moral stance, which was always a slim option, was not for me so I rejoined the company run my Fartrage. My subscription has increased as a result”

🤔

There are risks to going “the big thing we need to do in the first term is fix the NHS” and there are risks to going “let’s just have New Labour’s first term record on the NHS with an older population and a worse inheritance”, but a comparatively meagre NHS increase and cuts elsewhere: 🥶

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

America who voted in a man (he won illegally) who (as a Russian asset) then declares war on its own people. With the exception of first nation peoples every American is an immigrant.

I remember the good old days when Secretaries of Defense didn’t insert themselves unsolicited into domestic politics on a daily basis. Not what the job is supposed to be about.

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

Don't forget it

Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.

Richard Tice on Laura Kuenssberg show this morning with the usual fantasy economic policies and dog whistle racism. #BBCLauraK

Israel has declared the Madleen (With Greta Thunberg on) a security threat, it is jamming their electronic systems and circling them with combat drones. If it blows them up Israel will surely declare it an 'accident' but it will be their most blatant War Crime yet.

A video explaining the terms about federalization of the Guard, the difference between the Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty, and when the guard or active duty can engage in law enforcement. Hint: the guard as activated in Calif cannot. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-expl...

"two months later, authorities have yet to provide any evidence that the more than three dozen people they arrested that night have connections to the gang..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

FOTUS is deploying the military to attack citizens who are peacefully protesting. Just like millions of us will be doing for NO KINGS Day next Saturday. He is using this tactic to scare us. No way! We will not be deterred. See you on the streets America! #FOTUSIsACriminal

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA? MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

If Richard Tice was to spontaneously combust this morning and be reduced to a pile of ashes on live TV I presume it would be a race between Laura Kuenssberg and Chris Mason to see who could be the first to announce that 'This is good news for Reform!'. #bbclaurak

Look at that headline. Humanity has failed. #SocialistSunday

This is a really good time to learn the difference between Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, the LAPD, the Los Angeles County Sheriff, Mayor Bass and the LA City Council, the LA County Supervisors, contract cities, and cities with their own police departments

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

🐄 The US 🇺🇸 “bribery deal” opens door to hormone-fed beef That risks: •🔥 A trade war with the EU •🧨 The collapse of Brexit reset •⚖️ full-blown constitutional crisis 🐄 All for meat 🇬🇧 farmers aren’t allowed to produce. 🐮 Relying on testing ☠️ food is fool’s errand. www.thetimes.com/article/b89d...

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

7/10 Congress hears it too: Senators Sanders, Schiff, Jeffries warn of creeping authoritarianism. Public trust in Guard could tank.

Pals! I got a new box and it came with crinkly paper! I can use it to make a nest for meownself or hide behind it to attack Mom! This is the best #CatboxSunday ever!

Booker: "This is a morally wrong bill, and it's definitely an economically wrong bill as well."

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

Can someone let Gavin Newsom know that he will never become president if California is turned into an occupied territory and it’s citizens are stripped of rights? Think protecting his future ambitions might be the only thing to move him here

I think it’s notable that ICE isn’t conducting raids in red states, but is instead targeting deep blue states with big migrant communities that will fight back. They want violence to justify more violence. This is fascism 101. We should laugh at them and treat them like the cowards they are.

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive

My column for today's Independent Newspaper in the UK is out now. www.independent.co.uk/voices/trans...

If you agree, please share!

Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.
