Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Did you know that low-income Americans are forbidden from purchasing hot food items like rotisserie chicken at their local deli with SNAP benefits? It’s true. There are all sorts of arbitrary rules like this for public assistance programs.

My #Bluesky feed is like 90% people complaining about #Trump, constantly. I mean, I'm with y'all, he's terrible news. But there are also other things in the world. Anyone got tips for finding more #diversity? Or is that just all of Bluesky?

I just gave the @asylumwelcome.bsky.social where a new sticky announcement banner on the bottom, to replace the more obtrusive pop-up we used to have. Quite pleased with how it turned out. www.asylum-welcome.org
The most hilarious part of this is that the recall only affects 173 total vehicles, because that's all Tesla's sold of its rear wheel drive model.

I wonder how the Times will feel about the right for countries to exist when a Scottish Independence Referendum passes.
He’s right, and to think otherwise is to commit a basic category error that never gets corrected, because the media and politicians refuse to acknowledge it. Under a human rights based framework, states cannot have human rights, since states are not people; and Israel has committed genocide in Gaza
It's good that Reform UK have won more councils. It will provide even more evidence of their total incompetence when governing before the country decides who should be the next national government. This is an opportunity to expose Reform UK's ineptitude & shallow populism to the British electorate.
Palestine is the moral issue of our time, as was apartheid in the 1970s and 80s. your stance and your silence define you.

Israel is occupying more of Lebanon than Russia is occupying of Ukraine. Israel is destroying every single building, ethnically cleansing the whole place so they can steal it for themselves. Not only is Europe silent on this, it is still sending weapons to make it happen.
When the only Jewish leader of a political party in the UK is branded an antisemite for opposing genocide whilst a man who made "gas chamber whistles" at Jews is lauded as the next Prime Minister you know this country is deeply, deeply sick.
Internet is a basic need. Proud to announce that we are expanding NYC’s Neighborhood Internet Program, which provides free, high-speed broadband to New Yorkers living in affordable housing. Now an additional 2,000 NYC households will gain access to high-speed broadband across the Bronx.

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.
It is nothing short of piracy and kidnapping. Israel seized 180 people, damaged equipment rendering vessels unusable and unsafe in front of an approaching storm, and used violence and intimidation to intern activists on an Israeli navy ship. There they were mistreated, beaten and threatened.
Another Jewish person and Holocaust survivor saying the Pro-Palestine marches are not antisemitic and don't have anything to do with hatred, it is a political attack.
Texas nights should belong to Texans, not Big Tech. Data centers bring permanent daylight, drain water, and drive up power bills. People deserve dark skies, clean water, and land that stays in local hands.

If Starmer wants to ban the phrase "globalise the intifada" I propose we ban the phrase "Israel has the right to defend itself". After all, it could constitute an act of incitement to genocide - since that's what Israel does when it "defends" itself
