"Sixty years ago, the United States abolished immigration restrictions based on nationality alone. By 1965, such discrimination had become an embarrassment." Trump is now reviving it to pursue his racist, Islamophobic agenda.

Miles of rubble and deep trauma in Gaza, even as lifesaving aid has been moving again in recent weeks after months of blockages. We must continue the progress, and scale up further in the face of massive needs. My interview with @jimsciutto on @CNN from DC.

Elon Muskās ten-year $1 trillion pay package is worth more than the combined pay of: Every elementary school teacher in America. Every cashier in America. Every restaurant cook in America. Every farmworker in America. Every bartender in America. Insanity. Billionaire tax now.

That Farage still fails to apologise for all of this tells you a great deal. And it isnāt good enough to say āit was a long time agoā.
'Him and his minions would be hanging outside Jewish prayers.' 'Banter doesn't exist if you're not friends with that person.' Stefan Benarroch explains his interactions with Nigel Farage at school, and what he has made of the Reform leaderās response to the allegations.

In one of the most pathetic and humiliating moments in history, Trump just received the new inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. They literally invented a āpeace prizeā to keep him happy after he didnāt receive the actual Nobel Peace Prize. Beyond parody https://t.co/I1ahYRCz85

Let us be very clear: this baby's rattle is not awarded "on behalf of billions of fans around the world", as @FIFAcom claims. Itās nothing more than an ego-stroking stunt. This is a deeply troubling day for football & FIFA.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino in 2022: "Please, let's now focus on the football! And please do not allow football to be dragged into every ideological or political battle that exists." Also Gianni Infantino:

Rather than ensure Israelās survival, unconditional US support has enabled the worst instincts of Israeli leaders, yielding "the relentless increase in illegal Israeli settlements and settler violence in the West Bank and mass civilian casualties in Gaza."

Most Scots are canny enough to see that the Tory Party is simply transmogrifying into ReformUK.
Lord Malcom Offord has addressed a Reform rally in Scotland, saying his first objective is to remove the "rotten" SNP government after 18 years. The former Tory donor has defected to Reform UK. https://t.co/iOm40vn1kt šŗ Sky 501 and Youtube
