Trump stood at a rally and said "Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego." Then politicos rushed to explain what he "really meant." We won't sanewash him. Today's midday updates are up, paywall free:

He simply must be removed from office as any other President would have been if they had uttered these words. "A small price to pay" means he is willing to let 15 million Americans be murdered and he thinks it is acceptable. The fact that those people clapped when he said that makes me sick.

He mastered the art of reverse perspective. All of his work (apart from his very early work) was achieved by carving into wood blocks and pressing. INCREDIBLE!

Sarah Pochin raised "concerns" in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities. Two days later she purchased an £800,000 second home on Anglesey. Remarkable stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Can’t help but reflect on the reported US crystalmeth epidemic listening to obviously demented crowd cheering as Trump challenges “It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego." 🤔

West Bengal shows what's at stake. 9 million names were removed just before the state vote. In May, Modi's party won it for the first time. In 82 of its 207 seats, deleted voters outnumber the margin, the opposition says. Most appeals decided so far were valid. The vote had already happened. #India

India has cut 130 million people from its voter roll. That's about 13% of all voters, more than the population of Mexico. Some people declared dead are appealing to prove they're alive. Muslims appear hardest hit. Now protesters want the Election Commission chief to resign. #India

The EU wants no more Viktor Orbáns. New members would face 15 years of probation. Break democratic rules, and lose EU funds or your vote. The current punishment was never used: Hungary and Poland shielded each other. Next in line: Montenegro, Albania, Moldova, Ukraine. #EU #Hungary

Wear that shirt in Germany and nobody blinks. Their public health insurance was started by Bismarck, a conservative, in 1883. Most of that list is what Europe calls normal. The radical part is wanting to take it away.

A second Brexit referendum is a truly stupid idea. Straight to rejoin. No fucking about. There’s no logical argument, economic or otherwise, for not rejoining. The British electorate has proven that they don’t have a clue and are easily duped by disinformation campaigns and foreign interference.

fierygran.bsky.social @fierygran.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Completely agree. It’s going to take long enough to negotiate rejoining without spending obscene amounts of dosh merely to entertain the jaded population with yet another round of meaningless ‘Brexit’ theatricals.

At Camp East Montana, an ICE detainee's death was ruled a homicide after guards "restrained" him. Federal investigators later found missing or destroyed evidence, while the camp's contractor failed to provide required use-of-force and death reports.

Camp East Montana opened without the inspection ICE policy requires. Three men held there died within six weeks. Across the country, people shot by immigration agents are often the ones charged.
