Why Ceuta Was Not Actually the 'Migrant Invasion' Widely Reported

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Reminder that the Tories believe any non-British person who commits more than a minor parking or traffic offence should be automatically deported. They “believe in second chances”, apparently, but only for literal Nazis.

I recall we had a period of time where the response of Starmer and Cooper to concerns about these groups was ‘I like flags’
Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterdayLeaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
Missing jigsaw piece: the (former) Nazi now runs a popular satirical website where Badenoch is treated as some sort of cross between Boudicca & Margaret Thatcher while Labour & even Reform are constantly mocked. So this whole sorry mess is just another symptom of her being terminally online.

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
But they seemed like such nice, patriotic, community-minded chaps. (Except the ones currently facing murder, child abuse & assault charges, obviously.)

I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.

Nearly two-thirds opposed creating the Greater Cambridge Development Corporation. Similar numbers opposed its proposed planning powers. The government is going ahead anyway. So what happens to local democratic control? @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social
Is this how to manage the growth of Cambridge?
The new Development Corporation is offering “infrastructure first” as a strategic approach to the development of the Cambridge area

Last week saw yet more wrangling at the high court over how much Prince Harry, Baroness Lawrence, Elton John and their fellow claimants will be obliged to pay the publishers of the Daily Mail for the case they so comprehensively lost against them. Full story in the new Private Eye, out now.
Russian propagandists have a convenient habit of showing the devastation caused by Russia while omitting the inconvenient fact that Russia is the one launching the drones and missiles striking Ukrainian civilians.
Once again. It's simple! The only reason that the Epstein files have not been published is that they incriminate the president of the United States, and those others who are in a position to stop them from being released.

The bizarre and disturbing thing is that Joshua Bonehill-Paine is one of the few figures on the right to be loudly and clearly called out for anti-semitism. Is that because it doesn't happen much on the right? You have to be kidding. So why the double standards? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
No one should get a free pass on antisemitism – so why does the right?
There is legitimate scrutiny of antisemitism on the left, but at the same time, rightwing media outlets offend with impunity. That makes no sense, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

I fought Rudy Giuliani and Trump in 202 and learned an important lesson: They would lie in the parking lot but have to be more careful in court. Jeanine Pirro's dismissal of the bogus case against David Hearn is just the latest example of this.
