Conservative influencers, in the wake of ICE murders, are seeing their audiences turn on them. Tim Pool’s audience says he’s a bootlicker. Tim insists he’s wearing the boot. So let’s talk break down what makes a bootlicker, and why Tim Pool is the perfect example (link below)

This Executive Order will kill countless innocent Cubans. I am horrified by the Trump Administration's attempt to strangle an entire people. Homes, schools, hospitals without power. Children without food or medicine. Cuba poses no threat to the US. This is pure cruelty.
🇨🇺 JUST IN | President Trump has signed a sweeping executive order declaring Cuba an "unusual and extraordinary threat" and authorizing broad new sanctions, including punishing foreign countries that sell oil to the island, even indirectly. The move comes as the Financial Times

The Roma people were murdered on such a scale during the Holocaust that there was practically no one left after the war to set up educational trusts and museums in their memory and it is the moral responsibility of surviving groups to remember them now. This is beyond shameful.

When I would insist we all immigrants, they always insisted they were different, that Muslims refused to integrate and other racist shit, weirdly the least anti immigrant guy there was a far right Croat who thinks the immigrants in Croatia are cool, but everywhere else are bad

When I was living in Croatia I was in a language class with Romanian, Italian, and German immigrants & Ukrainian refugees and they would all go on long rants about how immigrants were ruining their countries, notably they never invited the other (brown) Brit in the class out
im explicitly thinking about the time a guy at the pub was trying to convince me that immigrants were ruining the country about 6 months after I'd moved here

After his war crimes in Venezuela and threats against Greenland, Donald Trump raged at not receiving the Nobel Prize, with some questioning its effect on his foreign policy. But Trump is the exact kind of person that gets the Nobel, let me explain (link below)

Very shortly this will become "law" in "the most moral country". No appeals, hung IN 90 days. Armed "settlers" stealing homes are exempt & cannot be punished. If a Palestinian defends their home, they hang them, then steal their home. And still SILENCE from the EU.

We’re at the “But what about all of the good parts about being illegally imprisoned in a concentration camp,” stage of fascism propaganda.
Watters: These detention centers are amazing. You get dental care, free healthcare. This guy came from Ecuador without any running water—he’s lucky to have these services.

URGENT 🚨 We have just one week to stop Sex Matters infiltrating a vote to ban conversion therapy. We must stop them. Use our tool and tell the MPs to stand up for what's right ✊ https://t.co/vbo3o7p6GB

They're talking about rounding up American citizens and putting them in ICE detention centers for no reason other than their ethnicity. Can everyone see where this is heading?
Tom Emmer: "If you come here from a country where you have to lie, cheat, and steal -- like Somalia -- and you continue to lie, cheat, and steal and take advantage of Americans' generosity, you do not deserve to be a citizen of this country and you should be denaturalized and

Once you build a massive “deportation” machine, an industry really, it will not stop with one category of immigrants, or immigrants at all. It will self-perpetuate new classes of people to detain, to fill detention beds and meet removal quotas. It will create a meal to feast on.

One thing that bugs me about writing fiction again is every time I finish Act 1 of a novel I’m immediately struck with inspiration for another story that sounds 100 times better

This is only a surprise to people who refused to recognise how British transphobes have been using pseudo-feminist posturing to argue for the extermination of minorities for the past decade
For the latest @NewStatesman I spent some time with the Pink Ladies, a group of female protesters who say they are standing against sexual violence by asylum seekers

Just finished watching and feel heartbroken and angry all at once. So many lives reduced to talking points. Thank you @BrigitteEmpire for naming the harm and centering the humanity.
In the wake of the murder of Renee Good by ICE agents, far right influencers took to the internet not to mourn, but to excuse and even celebrate the execution on camera of an innocent woman by the state. We know where this leads. We’ve seen it before. (Link below.)
