Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

A reminder for everyone protesting on Saturday: At the bigger protests there will almost certainly be masked right wing agitators dressed up like the mythical Antifa attempting to set fires and cause damage and destruction. It happens every time, and it's an attempt to turn the country against us.

You have to love the Brexiters losing their collective shit over Gibraltar becoming part of the Schengen Area. It's happening BECAUSE of Brexit which has made life very difficult on the Rock and that's why 95.9% of Gibraltarians voted remain.... but apparently Starmer is giving it away

The Labour government will repeal the 200 year old Vagrancy Act 1824, which criminalises rough sleeping in England and Wales by spring 2026. New legislation will keep both organised begging by gangs and trespassing to commit crimes against the law - two things also covered by the old law.
