It is pointless trying to explain anything to a kleptomaniac using metaphors; they take things literally.

ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.
This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.
Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

Listen, everyone. Ears back. The connection to Trump, Cannon, Putin is finance. It's the money stupid. I may be an ordinary person, but it's as plain as a pikestaff. (Know what a pikestaff was)?
This is the real scandal. The Compromise is not just to be found in the foul sexuality and trading of human flesh. It is in the financial transactions between Putin, Trump, etc al.

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

I rather think Lord Mandelson was rather more concerned with lining his pockets with the connivance of Epstein. How close was he to Trump?
Badenoch on BBC News dribbling on about Peter Mandelson & how it’s another mess from Starmer
After everything the Tories did & got up to in 14 years, she seriously should keep her mouth shut
Madelson has already resigned from Labour following the evidence & Starmer calls for him to leave the Lords

Newly released U.S. Justice Department filings in the Jeffrey Epstein case describe the financier as a “wealth manager” for Vladimir Putin. The claim comes from an FBI report dated Nov. 27, 2017. Putin is mentioned 1,055 times in the documents; “Russia” 5,876.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Okay I cannot stress this enough. It is not journalism to say “there is no evidence that Trump is associated with Epstein.” Duh, fucking duh. He suppressed the evidence and obstructed any investigation. Like, maybe include that bit cause they are all guilty as sin.

What's happening in Parliament tomorrow?
The VERY important Crime and Policing Bill continues it's committee stage in the Lords. It contains dozens of specific law changes tackling all sorts of crime issues and delivers on significant parts of Labour's manifesto.

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.
