So why is the UK still sharing intelligence with these clowns?

#caturday Happy caturday frens. I played hide and seek with me mudder and now I’m very tired. I enjoys sleeping 🛌 💤

A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

This seems quite a big thing

This seems a big thing too. I was hospitalised with measles as an infant and spent two years there all told. This is a terrible disease, nothing like childhood chicken pox

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... This week’s episode of Movers and Shakers is all about travelling with #Parkinsons and it’s jam packed with useful information

Art of the deal 🤣😂🤣😂

This is extraordinary! Then it ends: “The Trump administration is reportedly planning to cut NASA’s science budget in half, eliminating future space telescope and other astrobiology projects. If that happens, Dr. Krissansen-Totton said, “the search for life elsewhere would basically stop.””

The United States government is sending people from our country to a concentration camp in El Salvador without due process or hope for release. It’s really important for everyday people to realize that if you truly believe in “never again,” never again is right now.

@maddow.msnbc.com Please ask the senator if he believes Mr Garcia is alive?

Just a man and his dog watching the footie.

UPDATE: It happened. In an 11:15 meeting, employees were told that the office has been eliminated and their positions will be terminated.

Jesus 🙏 America is not the leader of the Free World. Fascism is America’s foreign policy 🌎

🧵 The ICE "Slave Ship" Fleet Until recently. it was relatively simple to track the ICE charter fleet from any online flight tracker: You just put "GlobalX" in a search window, and all their active flights would just pop up. But that all ended a couple days ago...

Maybe Ofgem could revisit the use of marginal cost pricing across all supply to bring down energy prices. Other countries have elec market structures that enable lower prices

Still amazed by the speed of America’s descent into a gangster state and the brazen corruption of the Trump regime as documented by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social Yet many journalists continue to cover Trump as if he’s a ‘normal’ president… open.substack.com/pub/anneappl...

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

Well done, Harvard. Standing up to Trump will not be easy, but academic freedom demands it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

The man tapped by RFK Jr to run a clinical trial looking to tie vaccines to autism has been charged with practicing medicine without a license, given autistic children a dangerous drug not approved for use in the US & improperly prescribed puberty blockers www.yahoo.com/news/head-rf...

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

MIT following Harvard's lead here

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

Q: What distinguishes a prison from a concentration camp?

The Pitt A Tv series that is, hands down, the most realistic ER drama I’ve seen. Even the pronunciation sounds real, with only a few exceptions. If you want to know what actually happens in an ER, watch this series 🥇 Hand the Emmy Award to this show 🏆

👇 this seems like a great opportunity

I am shocked by this story. Surely this can’t be true. I believe Cambridge University is the epitome of excellence. If true, this makes me very sad 😞. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

#springbreakout #spring #flowers #gardening #balconygarden Most years, spring passes us by…but this year maybe not. Despite having snow a couple of days ago, it’s all gone now and my Asian Lily is peeking through. Oh I can’t wait to see it bloom again.
