[BBC News - Farage calls for changes to election voting rules.]
Farage wants to echo all of the same false claims about voting as Trump spouts in the US. Strange that it's only a problem when they lose or believe they will lose a future election.

It’s almost like the whole panic over migration that seems to grip some political parties is entirely manufactured…
A photograph of "Big Brum", a clock tower that sits above the Museum & Art Gallery. It was built in 1885 and was designed by Yeoville Thomason.
A photograph of the Birmingham Town Hall building. Taken from street level facing the apex of the roof. The building has ornate columns lining the sides of the. It was built in 1834 and was designed by Joseph Hansom & Edward Welch. The photograph also contains part of a West Midlands Metro stop sign indicating that the Metro tram stops here.
A couple of photos of Brum that I snapped on the way.

Went to see the "I photograph comedians!" exhibition by Andy Hollingworth at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery yesterday. Had a great time. Each photo and memorabilia item sparked conversations about favourite sketches and routines.

Treated myself to a new book 📚 A book on vegan Italian cooking from Tara Punzone and Gene Stone.
Looking forward to trying some dishes and reading some fascinating personal stories along the way.

Classic Amstrad CPC retro gaming at its best 🕹️
A simple graphic of an adult cartoon polar bear hugging a young cartoon penguin, with a red love heart shape behind them. The words "Adopt, don't shop." appears below them. The graphic represents the famous slogan that encourages people to adopt animals from shelters rather than fund the animal breeding industry.

Sad to read things like "her first litter" and "she was mated with". Poor Marigold is going to be a pup factory producing designer pups that her "owner" will sell for £1300 a time.
Adopt, don't shop!

Compassion and empathy over winning! If only more people could learn from this example of kindness. Well done Gani Catan 💚

[Judge Jeremy Gold told the two men: "The fact that you both come from farming backgrounds {...} makes your callous and frankly sadistic behaviour all the more alarming and difficult to comprehend."]
Really? I find it easy to believe. Exploitation ≠ compassion.

Let's end it. Should have happened long ago.
A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.
"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."
A basket of flowers in full bloom. The flowers are a mix of red, pink, and magenta surrounded by greens. A river and a stone bridge can be seen in the background, out of focus.
Roll on Summer! ☀️

Tried a bottle of alcohol free Merlot wine called Nozeco. All clearly labelled vegan. Very nice when you're looking for a healthier option. Purchased from Morrisons.

So Trump expects countries with previously struck trade agreements to now face the new 10% tariff yet keep the concessions for the US agreed under trade original agreement?
🤣

We're seeing the rise of Trump 2.0 in the UK and we should be calling out this behaviour. It's the same play as Trump and we'll end up on a similar slippery slope to authoritarianism as the US if it's not challenged.

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...
Keen insights into what we are seeing in the US and its impact of the UK and Europe.

"one of hundreds of children detained at the facility"
They now have a measels outbreak at the facility. It's truly abhorrent. The fascistic megalomanic man at the top, and all those in his circle of power and abuse, have much to eventually face justice for.

That's the question I always ask. Being aware and well informed sure benefits everyone? Unless your agenda relies upon people not being aware and people not questioning things.
👇👇👇👇
As soon as I hear a person reply to a serious question with an answer containing "tiresome left-wing or woke agenda," I immediately think, you can't answer the question and the question makes you extremely uncomfortable. You basically hold a position that you cannot justify. Speaks volumes.
One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…
And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.
We see you.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis

A photo of a black cat sitting on the back of a sofa with her legs tucked under her.
She has decided that she would like to get comfy on the back of the sofa. Other spots will be chosen randomly throughout the evening.
