Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ā€˜deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

I am so over all the Americans in France stories. It’s all driven by anecdata. Seems like a lot of sponsored content.

One thing you can guarantee as the new antitrans consensus takes hold across the UK is that there will be absolutely no decline in the prevalence of women being sexually assaulted, and absolutely no increase in the successful prosecution of such assaults.

šŸ•ÆļøšŸ‡»šŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ Zelensky: Millions of people around the world are mourning the tragic news of Pope Francis’s passing. He knew how to give hope, ease suffering through prayer, and foster unity. He prayed for peace in Ukraine and for Ukrainians. Eternal memory!

Happy #Easter

Happy #Easter Weekend! 🤣

Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an ā€œassassination attemptā€ is performative.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

I don’t think the X Files works in a world where the people running the government believe in conspiracy theories and the theories are all antisemitic at their core. None of this is fun or kooky anymore.

Thousands show solidarity at #TransRightsAreHumanRights Demo in Parliament Square.

šŸ’Æ this!!!

This looks suspiciously like a @petshopboys.co.uk album cover; perhaps a sequel to #Biligual for C21.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

What you're seeing are wet microbursts—intense downdrafts from thunderstorms that slam rain into the ground, creating those stunning lobes. Like a reverse explosion from the sky. Captured in Perth, #Australia

This is who they are.

In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life. Wait, sorry, no. That's Mississippi.

This is really moving

No shit. Oh, wait!

You know it makes sense - time to join us in @labour4europe.bsky.social to do something about it. Link here: www.labourmovementforeurope.uk/join

In Nazi Germany, the targeted population was encouraged to self-deport and the state sought to impoverish them to force them to leave.

I want you to realise the scale. UNESCO estimates that the damage caused by russian aggression since 2014 to Ukrainian cultural heritage exceeds $2.6 billion. This looting of Ukrainian museums is believed to be the largest since the Second World War.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.Ā  You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

News is unremittingly bad so when there's good news, I am going to share it. USAID's DRG work may be over, but, as I've being saying since February, demand for using public opinion research to help democratic movements operate in authoritarian spaces still exists. It has not gone away. 1/

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

The money is going to what now
