Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

Translation: "I started something I can't finish and broke something I can't fix so I'm going to walk away and pretend it's your fault"

AOC, please.

View from part of my morning commute to work. I commute all year-around by bicycle. Some mornings are better than others, this was one of them. Crisp, clear air, birds singing and healthy steady cardio. Real cheap too, spend around 100€/year on tires n' maintenance.

ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now

Barack Obama gave Iran its own money to get American prisoners released. Donald Trump is giving Iran *our* money to get his poll number to rise after he stupidly caused gas prices to go up. Donald only thinks about Donald.

“.. This is your peace prize. It is also a beautiful medal that you can wear everywhere you want to go.”

youtube.com/watch?v=eSLs... My take on this; if Thailand is helping China break the embargo and export drones to Russia, then I (as a consumer) can voice my disapproval. I say no to holiday travel to Thailand, no to food products produced in Thailand, no to clothes made in Thailand.

What’s one way we can rein in ICE? We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty. Watch.

Bicycle ride home after work today, chilly but heartwarming. How fortunate I am to be able to live amongst such beautiful landscapes.

“Imagine if we had to follow the law”

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

youtube.com/watch?v=BRHx... Thank you to the Marsh family. A heartwarming tribute to Good and Pretti, as well as all the brave citizens of Minnesota.

“He certainly shouldn’t have been carrying a gun. I don’t like that he had a gun,” Trump says about Alex Pretti. “I don’t fucking care that they have guns, they’re not here to hurt me… Let them in,” Trump said on J6. Get it? 2A is only for those who support him and his tyrannical regime.

“If you raise your voice I’ll erase your voice” said an ice agent. Insane

We had to put up with school shootings because "the 2nd Amendment" But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment. ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Meanwhile in Finland. My commute this morning, cold but beautiful and quiet. Tranquil.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Hey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

youtube.com/watch?v=F4ne... After the horryfing actions and follow-up lies by the US government, British humor to help cheer us up. Please be safe out there.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

#Epstein #EpsteinFiles

We are now 29 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files. Where are they?

Funny how the Fourth Amendment keeps getting treated like a suggestion box.

Now that we’re all about “complying with the law” re Minnesota, does that extend to complying with the law re Epstein files?

Cartoon by Adam Zyglis

Trump is lying again: If the US truly needed Greenland as much as he claims, they would station more troops and have more bases there, as Denmark allows it. And if Trump was so scared about Russia and China, he would defeat them in Ukraine, not Greenland

To prevent WWIII, will someone please release the Epstein files?

youtube.com/watch?v=61zC... Release the Epstein files. Trump and his pals are clearly pro-pedo. Musk is ok with strangers turning photos of our children into porn. I don't usually post this kind of 'save our children' scare stuff but this one made me choke with anger.

How bad are the Epstein files that the US government is willing to invade the whole world?

youtube.com/watch?v=yB33... So beautiful but also devastating.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks: - Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela - ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota - Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally - Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0?... Marsh Family does it again! British humour and political satire at it best. Any Christians still supporting the Trump regime, take note.
