Eureka police took two calls for unconscious individuals, and officials reported ‘elevated’ carbon monoxide in room
These are letters and drawings from children at the Dilley Detention Center in Texas.
Trump isn’t going after the “worst of the worst.” He’s going after kids — who should be home, in school, and playing with their friends.
This is absolutely heartbreaking — and it must end.
Consultation ends tomorrow! Please respond now before it's too late👇🏽
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... There’s an overwhelming amount of commentary on Trump and Netanyahu’s war but @nesrinemalik.bsky.social look at the Gulf states is essential reading quoting Edward Said.
This might come as no surprise, but I think that Keir Starmer, in his rejection of Trump's demands last week, has shown a commitment to our own national interests and citizens’ safety that may yet prevent us repeating the mistakes of the Iraq war www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I had missed this @theguardian.com absolutely right “voters must retain their right to know who is roaming the corridors of power”
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.
(🎥 Vahid Online)
None of those woke rules of engagement USA? Every time I think Trump and co have hit rock bottom they find somewhere lower to go.
Despite all the screeching and Trump-grovelling of the British right, support for the US action against Iran has *dropped* to 22%
Tony Blair might do better to keep schtum on this particular subject.
The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer -- But we will remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
History lesson.
Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917.
Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.

The Trump administration will go down in history as the “Torturing Innocent Children” administration.
The US-Israeli strikes moved across Tehran, Shiraz, Sanandaj, Maragheh, Lamerd, Minab, Ahvaz, and Tabriz simultaneously, creating a geography of destruction:
For those who wonder why some of us focus on the Trump/Russia connections in the Epstein Files, just follow the evidence
Senator Whitehouse does a great summary here www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...
Good piece on attitudes to #ActiveTravel in GM from @walkwheelcyclet.bsky.social - broadly supportive contrary to impression given on social media. Our politicians should use this as a license to be bolder @walkridegm.org.uk
Sociology pulls back the curtain on power - how it's constructed, how it's maintained, and the (il)legitimacy of those in power - and that's why they're so afraid of it.
(It's also why Intro Soc is my favorite class to teach.)
Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.
War crimes update.
Oh bringing the receipts @zackpolanski.bsky.social and rightly so.
Satellite images from NASA Worldview on March 5 reveal the extent of the blackout in Cuba. A failure at the most important power plant, combined with the US blockade on fuel shipments in the country has left nearly 70% of the island's inhabitants without power.
Ofwat £22m fine proposal for South East Water for repeated supply failures.
"Proposal" = companies with criminal convictions negotiate, may never pay.
Thames Water to pay 2024 fines by 2030 or never.
2024 fines on Yorkshire and Northumbrian Water quietly waived.
Execs never fined or prosecuted.
I guess it’s ok to cancel plans to calm and reduce traffic to make life safer for everyone if you also put out a nice video asking drivers to just slow down and be a bit more careful?
Absolutely despicable
