Right now — The call from the Madleen crew, share EVERYWHERE and demand safe passage for the crew and the critical humanitarian aid they are carrying #Madleen #FreedomFlotilla #AllEyesOnMadleen

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

If the profits going to Private companies in the UK went to the Government they could build 7m houses a year or 3,500 New Hospitals. And before privatisation nearly 60% of it was.

Wondering if the citizens of LA should all just stay home tomorrow. Shut the whole fukkin thing down. No coffee. No pastries. No drive-thru's. Make them look the fools they are for this NG deployment. I know it's easier said than done. Just food for thought.

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.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

In Manhattan, ICE officers were forced to flee inside 26 Federal Plaza

Do you know this man? I do. He has 160+ million followers on TikTok. He’s apolitical; he does Vaudevillian silent comedy making fun of stupid life hacks. Far-right MAGA influencer Bo Loudon is bragging that he dimed out Khaby Lame and got him detained by ICE. And he did. TikTok is going to go nuts.

Corporate Welfare and magic money tree. Reeves considers £1bn energy bill subsidy for manufacturers. No means testing, no stake acquired. It will boost shareholder returns. Better to end energy profiteering, change Ofgem pricing formula, levy windfall tax, nationalise. archive.ph/BebSR

If you see any member of law enforcement act in a way you believe to be inappropriate, illegal, unjust, unkind… be a good witness. Record what you can safely (and without making yourself the focus of their attention). Note all the little details. Report it. That’s how you increase accountability.

Wild that the current administration of the united states is pulling this "civil unrest" shit in LA *right* after everyone watched Andor.

A less lethal munition started a fire in a dumpster and the LASD continued firing at the car in front of it. In the car is handicapped individual.

And here we go. Martial Law incoming. The next step on the fascists playbook.

DHS again asking for blue state escalation. Yesterday's ICE actions caused a violent civil disturbance. If the goal is smooth execution of your operations, you pause, do whatever perfunctory community liaising and maybe make policy changes for future ops. This is a double dare.

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.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

THIS IS WHY! 🤬👇🏽 Take off your gotdam masks! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social What is the plan?? Women are getting raped! 😡 Call Your Reps and Senators: (202)224-3121 INVESTIGATE ICE! We need answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves!

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

Let’s see a law that bans face coverings for law enforcement officers while interacting with the public

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court allows DOGE team to access Social Security systems with personal data on millions of Americans for now.

Crowds of brave people have surrounded the ICE detention centre in Los Angeles. They are trying to liberate victims kidnapped by Trump’s regime forces. Victims were abducted and thrown into the basement of the building without due process. #3E

Palantir's model is mass surveillance & the monetization of large (massive) data. This concern is warranted.

The Government has sold the last of its shares in NatWest which it nationalised in the 2008 Financial Crisis. The Government has lost £10bn. But Natwest is making £7.2bn profit a year. We are being robbed NatWest needs to pay back every penny.

Flamingo Land is opposed by the National Trust for Scotland, the Woodland Trust, the Ramblers, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, and Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park. It's not too late to stop it and save Loch Lomond. 👉 www.greens.scot/lochlomond

ICE has arrested more than 2000 people—workers, day laborers, parents picking up children from school, students—in LA today. I can barely fucking concentrate

💯💙💙💙

Trigger warning ⚠️ ICE hits protestor with car in LA today. This fucking administration is out of control. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES CALL YOUR SENATORS ☎️ 202-224-3121 They need to be accountable!

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

Builders will be required to fit solar panels to the "vast majority" of new build homes in England under changes to be published this year says Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. - 👏 Finally! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The fact that the person who was head of intelligence for the MPD was working giving information to the head of the Proud Boys as they were running around trying to menace people around the city has only merited the most cursory of attention is frankly amazing to me.

In a stern intervention, a judge at the High Court of England and Wales issued a formal warning to legal professionals on Friday, declaring that lawyers who submit fictitious cases generated by AI could face criminal charges.

I feel like this is easier to ignore in some places than others, but American citizens have been at war with “their” police forces for decades and I don’t know how to get people to understand that a lethal occupying force has never and will never keep us safe

Is privatised water undermining the UK’s green goals The water industry is unpopular but more seriously, is it fit for purpose as the nation tries to meet the challenges of climate change | Darryl Rigby @northwestbylines.co.uk

Did ICE deliberately set out to recruit truly vile amoral people or are we seeing Nazi guard syndrome here? Where ordinary people turn rotten given a set of circumstances that encourage it. What do they think when they get home at night?

Re: Today's ICE Raids in the City of LA As City Controller, we will be formally requesting information from the LAPD to determine the financial impact these ICE raids have had in using City resources, such as the LAPD’s involvement and response to the resulting demonstrations.

ICE forced to barricade themselves inside the federal building in Los Angeles until LAPD could intervene and rescue them from the brave crowds standing up to the regime.

Our defence review is out of date says Prof Richard Murphy. The real threat to our freedom wears a suit, wins elections and rewrites constitutions. He asks why are we pointing missiles at Russia while fascism walks in through the front door? ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @richardjmurphy.bsky.social
