I am British and grumpy. Tories make me grumpy. Brexit makes me grumpy. Other things too. Most things really. I am a ridiculous blue rectangle in a silly green hat and I demand that you take me seriously! danielrigal.co.uk @[email protected]

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

ICE teargassed a baby. And gassed attorneys attempting to represent detainees.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

🧵There is definitely something in this, although I think it gives Trump far too much personal credit for skulduggery that is actually the work of his handlers. Also, I think that the bust up with Musk is more than cynical distraction. It is two of the cynical distractors falling out. aje.io/ojuv43

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Among my favorite parts of the Trump/Elon feud is that anything and everything negative that they say about the other person will also reflect poorly on them. Delicious.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

I can't tell which screenshots from Trump and Musk are real and which are fake. Well, obviously, the ones that make sense must be fake but I can't tell with the rest. If you told me that they were tweeting pictures of dead badgers at each other I wouldn't know whether to believe you.

I like the way that the alt text on these adds a lot but still fulfills the basic function that alt text should.

I think this is a more or less up-to-date map of the businesses, LLCs, and people associated with the Trump family crypto projects.
