ICE is a paramilitary force deployed in a campaign of state domestic terrorism.
If the primary focus were immigration enforcement, they’d be raiding agricultural and hospitality industry settings.
Instead, they’re going into residential neighborhoods, schools, and courthouses.

No MP should be earning £380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.
Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

And have you noticed a big uptick in “benefits” stories at the moment?
Probably completely unrelated(🤔) to the fact we’ve had the longest run with no small boat crossings for 2 years, and the latest immigration stats are down at pre-pandemic levels…
They’ve gotta find a scapegoat somewhere🙄
