Loutro Beach on the island of Crete. A small boat with a man in it hovers on top of turquoise water. In the distance, brilliant white stores and homes line the cove. There are no roads to get here. Boat is everything.

"A provider told me last week they had 80 applications for a job they were advertising and not one person turned up for the interview.”

Carers - who are overwhelmingly racialised - are too scared to even show up for interviews - and the UK has 130,000 job vacancies.

Do the math.

'Staff working with elderly and disabled service users have been advised to travel to work in racially mixed groups and carry panic alarms....It comes against a backdrop of charities also warning of growing intimidation, racial abuse and threats of violence towards staff and beneficiaries.'

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

The truth about the Green Party's booming membership: we have had enough of being exploited and manipulated by millionaires and billionaires who would rather burn the Earth and watch children starve than pay a minute fraction of their hoarded wealth in tax.

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

During an EU Commission press briefing, a journalist questioned the double standards of European policy, asking whether Israel should also be held accountable for rebuilding Gaza — just as the EU demands Russia
The question was met with silence, as the EU spokesperson declined to comment.
