ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodrรญguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodrรญguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheโ€™s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

Theyโ€™ve already sent her to Louisiana.

I remember when โ€˜Brexit Means Brexitโ€™ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the โ€˜warโ€™ in Iran. And itโ€™s mostly the same people doing it.

Do you demand Justice? Here you go! Have a kitty. This fluffy girl is Justice. When you feed her, you can say Justice has been served. Sheโ€™s available for adoption in Minnesota through Feline Rescue. You can learn more about her here: us10d.sheltermanager.com/service?acco...

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. Thatโ€™s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

This is Kevin. He's a reactive dog getting some training to be more comfortable. His trainer brought him to a pet store for some socialization where they learned he is no longer reactive when given a giant stuffed dinosaur. 14/10 (TT: katieandtatesfostermates)

Deeply unsatisfactory response talking ONLY about Financial Interference. Of course that matters, but the UK govt needs to look much wider & frankly needs to stop prevaricating & start looking at ALL aspects of interference. It is dereliction otherwise. Tories avoided it, Starmer must not.

In the same way the invasion of Ukraine motivated Finland & Sweden to immediately request full membership of NATO, both for their safety & as statement, Starmer should consider making an emergency request for the UK to rejoin the EU.
The post WW2 peace is over.
We live in a time of sharks & food.

Resident doctors in England begin five days of strike action NHS leaders warn โ€˜more patients are likely to feel the impact of this round of strikes than the previous twoโ€™

I applaud the doctors. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
The NHS is on its knees because of successive Tory & Labour Lies

They can't hold people to ransom

Noone ever WANTS to go strike

Remember all the tax breaks Starmer was giving to the US tech industry..worth millions

Question: would police officers typically point guns at family members like this?

Would they typically bruise up children? Would they say they're gonna blow your head off to an unarmed mom in front of her kids?

ICE did that to this family.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to yours!

The AWS fiasco should be sufficient warning of how utterly stupid Starmerโ€™s digital ID system is.

If they wanted everyone to have proof of ID and residency they should simply make passports free for everyone.

These can be produced when needed for travel and work applications (already in use).

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors โ€œWith fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.โ€

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
