BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

One way to think of Briefcase Labour is that they are like American adult converts to Catholicism (conservatism), from which they pick the bits that they think justify their cruelty and sense of personal importance, while rejecting even the slimmest application of rules and tradition to themselves

Israeli forces have boarded Madleen - the volunteer-crewed ship trying to break siege to deliver aid to starving people in Gaza - and abducted the crew. If you are a citizen of any country whose citizens are on board (France/Germany/Brazil/Sweden), please watch this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjMd...

MAGA Republicans are keen on the use of military force against citizens & the deployment of big tech for mass surveillance. This is a violent, authoritarian movement legitimised by anti-migrant rhetoric. If you don't want that here, we have to stand up before it's too late.

Jeffrey Sachs went to Moscow first as shock therapist, second as Putin's guest. Kind of consistent if you think about the economic conditions that gave rise to Putin.

Periodic reminder that there is nothing you can give the far right that will satisfy them. Remove a right, they’ll go after another. Attack a minority, they’ll want worse attacks and find new groups to attack. There’s no end to the authoritarianism. Just more, and worse, until everyone’s crushed.

Why it's almost as if "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.".

If you stop thinking that Germany's response to anything Israel is about Holocaust guilt and instead about rewriting German history, you'd understand German politics better. 🧵

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Which is more fantastical: the idea that Farage has spent any time seriously thinking about industrialisation, or that seven million people are going to get brilliant careers in fannying about with ChatGTP? Is there a meaningful difference between these things, if neither is real?

Israel has long used undercover forces posing as Palestinians to sow strife. Today, it is using this strategy again in Gaza in the form of the gangs taking control over humanitarian aid. The goal is to fragment and dismember Palestinian society. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/isra... #Palestine #Israel

I talked to a colleague who worked with UNRWA in Gaza for 6 months. She casually mentioned that all the IDF checkpoints through the Netzarim corridor were ringed by rotting bodies of men, women, and children shot for sport by IDF soldiers as they attempted to pass through.

"if Farage lets others reach for the dog whistle, he may find he has lost control of the tune" Don't need to be a psychologist to know this column has little to do with Farage/Reform -its Fraser's apologia for his promotion of racism & fascism as Spectator editor www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...
