Trump attacked immigrants living in the U.S., claiming without evidence that most of them were from “failed nations” or from “prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

Dragonflies and Damselflies have been around for 300 Million years, they live up to 6 months & feed on mosquitos & other insects, keeping numbers in check. They are a good species to have around as they require clean water, indicating a good ecosystem & they do not bite or sting contrary to rumour.

Andy Street is spot on. Birmingham is a brilliant city. Vibrant, diverse, wonderful.
The image shows two X posts. The first, by Juliette Kayyem (@juliettekayyem ) from 1 hour ago, states: "'Take care of' is not subtle. This weekend the ground has shifted and no person can deny what the president, unpopular and unfit, intends. To remain silent is to welcome this. They can both sides or claim they didn't hear, but there is no wiggle room about his plans now." The second, by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar ) from 6 hours ago, quotes Trump addressing the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats." The post includes a photo of Trump speaking to a group in Navy uniforms, with a caption noting he "called the Democrats. They want to give all of our money to illegal."
No President should ever stoke this kind of division and dehumanize the other half of the country in this way.

The wellbeing of Broadway’s actors and stage managers is making headlines. Jimmy Kimmel Live highlighted the possibility of an Equity strike: Broadway workers need and deserve health care. And sounds like audiences agree 👂 👏
Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @theguardian.com
Minnesota’s soybean farmers produced a bumper crop this year, just to find out they have nowhere to sell their harvest thanks to Trump’s trade policies.
I’ll keep standing with our farmers
to advocate for an end to these reckless tariffs.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?

A screenshot of an X post by Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) criticizing a federal agent's use of force, paid by taxpayer dollars, with a follow-up post by Elaad Eliahu (@elaadeliahu) describing an incident where an ICE agent's "adios" gesture and push led to a woman being shoved to the ground in front of her children, prompting court security intervention. The image shows a person holding a phone displaying a video, with another person in a security uniform nearby.
This is who ICE has become. Are we going to continue to stand for it?
London mayor Sadiq Khan hits back at ‘racist, sexist, misogynistic and Islamophobic’ Trump.
About time. Trump spreads lies about every country.
Trump is doing so much harm at home/abroad - undermining the UN. NATO, US economy, human rights, free speech, tolerance
Will he ever be held to account?
