- An excellent update on the state of play for the By-Election here: swingometer.substack.com/p/gorton-and... Encouraging, overall, I think.
- Reposted by TimPleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Reposted by TimIncreasingly polarized into opposing dumpster fire tactics not even on principle as because I never want to see a dumpster fire tactical debate post again ever for the rest of my life.
- Reposted by TimIt's not enough to just say "but Obama didn't do that." Sure, it's true, but that's not how memory works. You need to tell a true story about what really happened, populate the discourse with evidence and examples that give life to a memory of the Obama era that people can picture and engage with.
- Reposted by TimGood god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'. And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.
- Reposted by TimNew Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor. Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time. A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

- Reposted by TimICE tear gassed little white children in Portland Oregon today. It was a peaceful protest. ICE didn’t care. If they’re doing this to white kids in broad daylight and on camera, imagine what Liam Ramos is subjected to in the camps? Imagine what all the kids they’ve grabbed are going through.

Reform's Matt Goodwin in Sunday Times: 'Most .. people criticising me are nerds.The last thing I want is to be at some dinner party table with Nick Robinson & Mary Beard. I'd rather shoot myself in the head'. Hang on, I'm not THAT bad!Nerds sometimes have a (thoughtful!) point.
- Reposted by TimSelf-crit time: last night I reported on this rally in Chicago, and like I was worried would happen, big liberal accounts have spread its aesthetics but ignored its context. But that's my fault as well I should have made a few things clearer from the start: 🧵1/4
- Reposted by Timok wow. in 2020, as a former tech journalist, i had a large twitter account, so i asked elon musk to comment on why he had been photographed with ghislaine maxwell and whether the rumors jeffrey epstein had toured space x were true
- Reposted by TimThe BBC is getting played here: if a contributor gets to flat out deny having his own words quoted to him on television (with the viewer not told the denial is untrue) then post about "dropping truth bombs". The mission to inform & counter misinformation is flailing if the editorial controls so weak

- Reposted by TimThe arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.
- Reposted by TimWhat’s there left to say? Journalism is already on fire, and now journalists of color are getting arrested for doing their jobs. While alt-right media continues to roll in dough, those of us who want to actually speak truth to power can’t find jobs, AND have to worry about safety.
- Reposted by TimThe arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
- I know nothing about Hannah Spencer but I like her already. Great speech and you could see her growing in confidence as she went through it. She could have done with a lectern, or similar, to hold the papers but she handled it and then in the Q&A she gave great answers to those questions!
- We promised to throw the kitchen sink at this election. Well we've definitely voted for the right candidate with the skills for the job! Hannah & the Greens are taking the fight to Reform. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk
- Reposted by TimA Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
- Reposted by Tim“Despite their supposed victory in the Supreme Court last April, anti-trans campaigners like Sex Matters have encountered failure after failure in their attempts to use the law to bully trans people out of public life." And If Sex Matters tries to bring another challenge, we’re ready to fight back.
- The High Court has blocked a legal challenge from transphobic group Sex Matters, siding with thousands of swimmers who fought to keep the ponds inclusive goodlawproject.org/hampstead-he...
- Reposted by TimIt’s not quite true to say nothing has changed, I think. Bovino had a particularly paramilitary style, where he’d roll around in force and tear gas entire neighborhoods, and we haven’t seen that. But ICE is still swarming and if anything aggression against observers has increased.
- Reposted by TimI can confirm that Sex Matters has been refused permission to bring its anti-democratic, exclusionary, and bigoted challenge to the inclusive space at Hampstead Ponds. More to follow.
- Reposted by TimGood to see. The administration has vowed impunity for lawless violence. Those who believe in the rule of law must vow accountability.

- Reposted by TimHey Border Czar Tom “Cava” Homan at @icegov.bsky.social: You know my name. You know where I live because your agents tailed me home twice. I spent 5 hours today following them and will spend 5 hours tomorrow. Come put me on TV so I can tell the whole world what I’ve seen you do to my neighbors.
- Reposted by TimGuys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear
- Reposted by TimAfter being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
- Reposted by TimOn Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.
- Reposted by TimTrump said ICE would go after the "worst of the worst." Liam Ramos is five-years-old. He's a child, not a criminal. He should be in school, not arrested by ICE.
- Reposted by TimI don't know, call me crazy, but maybe instead of "falling out of love with liberalism," how about they're "falling out of love with its transphobic monstrous author?" Have you considered that?
- Reposted by TimAbolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.
- Reposted by TimICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
- Reposted by TimYes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.
- Reposted by Timjust to reiterate: do not break any laws please. you will get for-real arrested and for-real go to jail. trust me, they hate being followed and observed and recorded plenty, and that's perfectly legal.

- Reposted by TimOne of the reasons why Elon Musk and other folks on the right want to shut down Wikipedia (or "compete" with it). It's a good platform for regular folks to accumulate data, even keep track of all of this administration's atrocities in real time. Great work

- Reposted by TimA reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
- Reposted by TimThe people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
- Reposted by TimAlso, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
- Reposted by TimNobody should listen to me particularly, but I do think it’s true both that even people who are assholes shouldn’t be murdered by state actors, and that it’s good politics to point out when state actors murder someone who is, by all accounts, an amazing guy
- Reposted by TimPlease reshare the below post, unfortunately some accounts with lots of followers have reposted the false claim and loads of people are falling for it.
- I'm seeing people mistakenly claim the gun photo was posted before today, but its just how Google sometimes dates images based on the original date of the thread its posted in, not when it was posted. The photo was posted an hour ago in this 5 day old thread www.reddit.com/r/fivethirty...
