Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

SCOOP: A prosecutor who helped build the Georgia election interference case against Trump is running to unseat the appeals court judge whose ruling helped bring the case to an end.

Will Wooten will challenge Trent Brown, who wrote the opinion disqualifying Fani Willis.

don’t let anyone rob you of your joy about kristi noem getting fired. we get to have a day.

Yeah, deeply disappointing when the idiot chuds actually have some capability to back up their shitty words with shitty actions.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS!

Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:

“.. the prospect of Ms. Halligan losing her license could serve as a check on administration lawyers who have been accused by judges of pushing the boundaries of the law or intentionally misleading the courts, which has happened frequently in recent months.”

Three. If it was four I'd say "quatrain".

It's Tuberville.

The two neurons between Wrong Johnson's ears means he's got Senator Footbaw outnumbered.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

If you are a Costco customer, Trump stole your money and won’t give it back.

I was about to just fave this and move on but then I saw it was posted by the governor of Illinois???????

"Shape the battlefield?"
"Yeah, it's got some dents in it now."

Generation of dudes who grew up during the Great Depression.

To repeat:

lol
lmao

While holding a bye into the Champions League round of 16, to boot.

If it was before November 2020, absolutely ludicrous.

By the end of 2001, after Bush v. Gore and 9/11? Basically scans.

this is true and bears remembering: eg, Pelosi was reported to be publicly chewing out Greg Landsman, the guy who just got Chotinered, on the House floor prior to the vote. it just didn't work.

I will once again reiterate that the window is closing very fast to primary Gottheimer, signatures are due on the 26th at 4 pm for Congress

In fairness, the war and concentration camps are also in horrifically bad shape.

[sound of screaming redacted things into pillow]

It is time for Senator Blake Griffin (D-OK).

Kristi Noem’s firing is long overdue. She oversaw vile crimes against humanity and we’ll never forget it.

But until ICE is abolished and expelled from our communities, we keep fighting.

Lawless federal agents kidnapping and killing people on our streets can never be normalized.

Animal cruelty to permit this without giving them your credit card IMO

i cannot stress enough that if you know anything about how kristi noem found out she was fired you must tell me

Rahm Emmanuel the guy who famously left office with like a 20% approval rating after covering up a police murder? *That* Rahm Emmanuel? Is he giving people advice on how to suck and be a huge loser?

"Interview rooms with handcuff bars, holding cells + weapon storage areas..."

"'It’s not a permitted use,' Town Attorney Annette Eaderesto said...'That’s not an office.'"

"[ICE] must now try to secure a zone change or use variance... Both requests would require public hearings."

(and then we can send her to Albany so she can fight for D27!)

Yeah, I spent a lot of time cursing Vlad for that; he made it a lot harder to argue for shutting down the military-industrial complex.

How you can help:

"Her legal team at MIRA Legal, as well as the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Coalition (TIRRC), are providing legal representation in the case"

I will match your donations to TIRRC.

Was gonna say, I'd be surprised if Tester was sitting there thinking "I can win, but not against Daines".
