They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

This is the Tufts PhD student who seized by masked agents on the street and jailed for two months because she wrote an op-ed calling for the school to divest from Israel.

You could make practically every bus route in England free for the cost of extending the fuel duty cut.
Reeves says petrol is still expensive.
So the 5p cut in fuel duty will be extended until 2026, she says.
Great. So polluters get to continue to poison us. Yet EV drivers get penalised with pay per mile.

Climate change. What’s that?

At this point it is an axiomatic truth that continuing to support the Labour Party while proclaiming to be left-of-centre or progressive requires completely ignoring both their explicit words and actions. Assess those who continue to do so and their conception of politics accordingly.

If this were any other party they'd be turfing the loser out and salting the earth where they once stood. This man is destroying the entire Labour Party like the East Wing of the White House and they're all standing by and doing nothing because they've got nothing else. It's fucking hilarious.

They purged the Labour Party of its obvious maladies which were so plain and obvious for all to see, and their hand-picked T-3000 New Labour Redux leader reconstituted the party in his image, root and branch, and proceeded to lose a seat that's been solidly red since its creation in 1918.

Let us be clear: this is a step up from literal slavery, which is what it was before. But it is only one step up from literal slavery.
California now pays incarcerated firefighters the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour thanks to new legislation won by grassroots organizers, offering fair pay and more sentence reductions to those risking their lives in dangerous wildfire conditions.
CA Relies on Incarcerated Firefighters. They Finally Make Federal Minimum Wage.
It took a grassroots push to win the legislation that offers more pay and an opportunity for reduced prison sentences.

Oh, it "would appear" so, yeah?
Either it took the pigs a full day to realise they'd shot two people or they deliberately withheld this information from the public so they could manage the media fallout. You can decide which of those makes them look worse.

it is not about sports. it has never been about sports. it is about banning trans people from public life entirely AT BEST, and at worst, forcing them into situations that will endanger their lives. this is why we don't play along with the "just asking questions" sports bullshit
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".
In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.
