Oh my God. 10 dead in a high school mass shooting (7 killed inside the school) in the small community of Tumbler Ridge in north-eastern British Columbia today. One of the deadliest school shootings in Canadian history. This is an unthinkable nightmare that isn’t supposed to happen here. Or ANYWHERE.

Switzerland doesn’t have a prime minister. The president of their federal council is a man.

Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department’s civil rights office has not resolved a single racial harassment investigation.

It sends a message that “people impacted by racial discrimination ... don’t matter,” one attorney said.

Before I wrote this last year I knew a lot about the horrors of dairy but didn't truly know what it means to be a herd animal. We think humans are intensely social, but cows are another level entirely

yeah, the old cultural idea that autism must equal “a little white boy who likes trains and is really good at math” has done a lot of damage
This is part of why common perceptions of autism suck so much: not every Neurodivergent person is Ben Affleck's The Accountant. I would NEVER cut it at NASA.

Unfortunately, that's the only way laypeople really "understand" Neurodivergence.

Why is a convicted sex traffickers word worth more than the hundreds of Epstein survivors who’ve told us who the predators are?

Why do we need to give Ghislaine Maxwell clemency to find out what men were involved?

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.

I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.

Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.

Palantir out.
Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.
