Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

Stephen Miller got caught repeatedly trafficking in white nationalist rhetoric and conspiracy theories and an ABC News reporter got suspended for calling Miller hateful

“People came over to help and got me on the curb. A medic was called, who cut off my clothes. In my leg was what felt like a five centimeter hole with muscle hanging out of it and blood all down my leg. The medic put a tourniquet on it, and a journalist I was with took me to ER.”

ICE shot a reporter... "Nick Stern, a British news photographer based in Los Angeles, is set to undergo emergency surgery for a wound sustained during the standoff between police and anti-Ice protesters in Los Angeles on Saturday."

Almost verbatim, unbelievable

When the last desk is cleared in CCHQ, the last councillor voted out, the last direct debit cancelled, the camera will pan to David Cameron. "See, it did stop the party from banging on about Europe".

All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.

Journalism is not a crime www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Legal proceedings have been issued against the Information Commissioner, NHS England, and Hilary Cass for failing to acknowledge that the materials used in the Cass Review are subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Public Records Act 1958. Yes, Hilary Cass is personally being sued.

Look how quickly the Vice President of the United States pivoted to portraying Stephen Miller(!) as a victim of the press. All because a reporter stated the obvious truth about Miller’s hate-mongering. MAGA = constant victimology and grievances.

So Trumps sent more than double the number of National Guard into LA than eventually responded to the Capitol being attacked.

Over 90,000 signatures. Will you help protect disabled children’s rights by signing and sharing? We need 100,000 to get a debate in Parliament. Under 18s can sign too. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

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.

This left wing cancel culture is getting out of hand. These leftist snowflakes need to grow a spine and learn how to deal with criticism. s/

Whatever they do, they will say "look what you made us do," because we've seen them do that dozens of times.

The Right Way To Protest is to stand very still in your apartment and whisper “I wish this wasn’t happening” then get your ass to work, you’re gonna be late damn it

Dawn French shouldn't have apologised and removed her video, Israel are War Criminals committing Genocide and no whataboutery changes or justifies that.

The legal risk of violent protest has gone up in ways the public doesn't widely appreciate. I recently was a prosecutor in the Philly DA's office. I spent a lot of time reviewing pole camera video, footage from police street surveillance cameras. THOSE CAMERAS ARE POWERFUL. THERE ARE MANY OF THEM.

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.

To evaluate Terry Moran’s comment that Stephen Miller is “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred,” I recommend this oral history of his time at Santa Monica High School. lamag.com/politics/ste...

it's really funny that any news anchor in america can say that biden was mentally incompetent but you can't say trump is mean without getting in big trouble

Some numbers worth noting: Benefit fraud: £1.6bn per year *Unclaimed benefits: £17bn per year* **Tax avoidance: £122bn per year**

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

If the boot fits...

five years ago rebecca long bailey was sacked for retweeting an interview with maxine peake that mentioned this and we got headlines like these:

Already weighing on Democrats who are sizing up a presidential run in 2028: their failure to speak in a timely fashion about the coming Musk-Trump rift.

On the left, residents cleaning up their streets. On the right, federalized Guard arriving to quell "violent mobs." You can see some holding their assault rifles. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Pretty much every movement against injustice has at least a foot in anger, and the idea that cannot coexist with love is some pundit-brained nonsense.

I see the Royal Festival Hall is asking trans people and those with disabilities to share the same toilets. This is both unfair on people with disabilities and breaches the Human Rights Convention by treating trans people as a third sex. I hope everyone ignores their stupid signage.

Kristi Noem: "What the laws are in this country is what we are doing."

I can’t compete with this

really fun thing about this piece is that it's somehow got people yelling at me for being both a whiny provincial opposed to investing in London and a symptom of the media's Londoncentricity who doesn't know he's born

Vote scolding is the most worthless shit one can participate in at this juncture of western capitalist collapse.

Nothing like getting sanctimonious law and order lectures from Republicans who refused to vote convict Trump after 1/6.

I will never stop repeating this: Accountability has to be the top priority of the Democrats in 2028. Period. Every single lawless fascist has to be arrested and charged with every violation imaginable. They all have to face decades in prison. Live by the swastika, share the fate of the Nazis.

If you live in NYC, particularly Brooklyn in/near Flatbush, please spread the word about Xavier Williams, a sixteen year old with autism who has been missing since Wednesday.

Using the American flag to symbolic effect at protests against the Musk/Trump regime isn’t appealing to fascism, and it is incredibly counterproductive and stupid to believe to is.
