ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

His entire rant had to be fact-checked to see if there was any truth in anything he ranted about.

As usual, if his mouth is moving, he's lying.

We can talk about the economics and whether the EU would allow it but, from a domestic politics POV, rejecting the idea would be perverse.

The only groups Labour might hope to appease wouldn't be and are a minority.

Always amazed that some Telegraph writers spend their time educating us on damaging antisemitic tropes, while some (occasionally, even the same writers) obsessively accuse anyone who disagrees with them on anything of doing so because a secret global cabal headed by George Soros paid us.

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things.

When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

We often hear 1850-1900 was a pre-industrial period.

That’s such greenwashing BS.

The entire British railroad boom and bust happened by 1840.

Here is an example of real pre-industrial music from 1775 by composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed when he was 18 years old.
La finta giardiniera, K. 196, Act I Scene 2: No. 3, Aria "Dentro il mio petto io sento" (Podestà)

If my daughter went there I'd never send her back to that school. Look at this statement. This guy needs to be fired and sued and someone needs to check his hard drive. If a 13 year old student tells you, an adult, that boys are sharing naked photos of you and you wave her off, you're the problem.

Take it from my linguistics and literature degree: translating is much more than “is this the right 1:1 word for that word”

Countries, treaties, wars, marriages, genealogies, lineages, fortunes, histories have started and ended over 1:1 words with wrong subtext

Human translators > AI, every day
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.

All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

That’s a longtime theme of white supremacists in America, as Vance no doubt knows. In this thread, I cite similar racist rhetoric using the “apology” theme. 1/6 🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵
