Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 5h

Brexit was supposed to "Take back control" of immigration. But it's been such a disaster that only 19% think it's working. The majority now want to return to the system we had before we left the EU – including a majority of Reform voters!

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system

The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

The recent crisis at Zaporizhzhia makes much more sense when viewed through the lens of Russia forcing a re-connection of the plant to their own power grid: The horrifically risky theft of a power supply fits their habits better than nuclear blackmail.
