one of many reasons why insisting Israel tricked the US into this or is operating it like a puppet is not only antisemitic but also stupid analysis that gets in the way of understanding what's happening and taking action.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

Your weekly reminder that voter "concern" with immigration doesn't correspond to actual immigration levels. It corresponds to the amount of coverage the media gives immigration. This an entirely self-fulfilling mess, and it is entirely pointless.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

A note from the Editors, in solidarity with our colleagues across the sector.

TIBG Editor Statement, 2025

As editors for TIBG we acknowledge the extremely challenging circumstances facing many of our colleagues both within and outside the UK as a result of funding cuts, institutional restructuring, and redundancies. We write in solidarity with geographers and academics experiencing emotional distress and uncertainty arising from unjust university management processes and decisions.

We recognise this difficult situation may have implications for how colleagues will and can engage with TIBG. This may result in increased pressure to publish. It could also limit colleagues’ capacity to take on tasks such as journal reviewing.

We are striving to do our best for both authors and reviewers; balancing our commitments to making timely decisions on papers, whilst also recognising that some reviewers may need more time. We understand too that it will not always be possible to review a paper. If you have any concerns about a paper you have submitted for consideration in TIBG, if you need additional time to undertake a review, or would like advice around publishing in the journal, please contact us at: journals@rgs.org.
