We began an exciting round of research today. We are testing two pages, iterated versions of the current GOV.UK pages on 'what you can get' legal aid for and 'eligibility'.

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

Absolutely what Kelsey and Erik are saying. I got a lot from Spencer Ackerman's 'Reign of Terror: How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump'. The specific agencies, procedures, and justifications developed in the WoT are being used on wider segments of the US population.

One of my #fixtheforms bugbears. Well formatted addresses in London have a city but no county. Requiring both fields is just wrong. And here the BBC adds insult to injury by having correctly populated the fields from its own PAF-based lookup system only to insist that the right answer is wrong.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

'No-one is talking about young men' increasingly occupies the same space as 'we need an honest conversation about immigration'. We never shut up about young men. It's one of the only things we ever talk about, although admittedly only ever to say 'we need to be more reactionary'.
