Thank you to Mike F Shaw. Electoral fraud? Gerrymandering? Voter intimidation? Postal ballots? How much more transparent does it have to be, for them to see that Reform LTD is literally getting its talking points from the USA. Gerrymandering isn’t a thing in the UK for crying out loud!

“As far as I can tell, it’s the practice of ICE to throw everybody’s documents into a black box and then lose it.” Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

The BBC claims to have “research” that supports its decision to use abusive transphobic terms for trans women. But it will not share that “research”. At the most basic level research is not research if it is not published. It is just a lie. The BBC is lying.
pilett • > transrightsarehumanrights 5h
In every news story, the BBC News team now misgender trans women, using the phrase 'a biological male who identifies as a woman'.
They claim to have research showing a large chunk of their audience is confused by the term 'trans woman', which is why they have applied the additional descriptor.
I submitted an FOl request, asking for this research, if only to see if it genuinely exists.
The BBC News team has now responded to my FOl. They are refusing to share the research. Quelle surprise.

The Times reporting today that in May, US intelligence services sent a memo that said they found no link between Maduro and Tren de Aragua/Guerrero Flores, despite the US indictment saying they collaborated
US scrambles to justify intervention as legal act
David Charter
The direct domestic legal case for the US arresting Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, is set out in an updated indictment released on Saturday. It lays out charges of narco-terrorism, cocaine importation, possession of machineguns and conspiracy.

For the first time it includes the Maduros as joint defendants with Héctor Guerrero Flores, leader of the Tren de Aragua (TDA) criminal gang which runs extensive drug and human trafficking operations. The indictment suggests that Maduro is in league with Guerrero Flores, building the case that Maduro collaborated with TDA in smuggling tonnes of cocaine to the US.

But this contradicts a memo from the US intelligence services released in May that found no direct link.

Maduro’s lawyers will seize on this and also the “Noriega defence”, the legal case unsuccessfully mounted by lawyers for the deposed Panamanian military leader seized by the US in 1990 under President George HW Bush, that he has immunity from prosecution as a foreign head of state. A memo written for the Bush administration in 1989 by Bill Barr, later attorney-general in Trump’s first term, argues that a president has “inherent constitutional authority” to take people into custody in foreign countries.

Domestic complaints about Trump overreaching stem from the US constitution, article 1 section 8, which states that “The Congress shall have power … to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.” But the constitution also gives power to the president to direct the armed forces under article 2.

Trump has declared war on the drug cartels and named Maduro as head of one, the Cartel de Los Soles or Cartel of the Suns. Maduro said no such cartel exists. Susie Wiles, the White House chief-of-staff, was asked in a recent interview with Vanity Fair why approval had not been sought from Congress for the war on cartels.

"Mobile phones and Sim cards will be seized from migrants without needing to arrest them from today as part of efforts to tackle the number of Channel crossings." More cruelty from the man who insists he is the only option to stop Nigel Farage
The Times - Migrants’ phones will be seized to catch smugglers
Mobile phones and Sim cards will be seized from migrants without needing to arrest them from today as part of efforts to tackle the number of Channel crossings.

Officers will begin taking electronic devices from people at Manston processing centre in Kent, and data will be downloaded from them to gather intelligence on people smugglers.

It is hoped that the new powers for law enforcement agencies will speed up investigations and come after the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act became law last month.

Alex Norris, the border security minister, said: “These operational measures sit alongside sweeping reforms to the system, to make it less attractive for migrants to come here illegally and remove and deport people faster.”

Last year, 41,472 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel, the second highest figure ever.

Chris Philp , the shadow home secretary, said that Labour had confined itself to “cosmetic tweaks” and that there was no deterrent to those crossing the Channel. Instead, he pressed for quitting the European Convention on Human Rights in order to take effective action, which Labour has rejected.

The new law also introduces new criminal offences such as up to 14 years in jail for storing or supplying boat engines to bring migrants across the Channel. Smugglers downloading maps to find departure points for small boats or researching the best places to buy equipment for the dinghies could face up to five years in prison.

In April, I wondered what a trans toilet ban might look like in practice. Trans people and their cis women allies have been sounding these alarms for years. It now seems clear that the UK government took all these dire warnings as policy proposals. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
With 8,000 holders of gender recognition certificates now unsure if they’re barred from peeing once they leave the house, some have argued that the provision of millions of unisex toilets might be the answer. Considering these would be the same unisex toilets they never got round to building for Britain’s 4m pre-school age kids — and their awkward dads — we can dismiss this stalling tactic with the contempt it deserves.
We might also consider what this means for the millions of cis women who do not fit the standard, sexist notion of “femininity” which logic dictates they must be checked against to enforce this ruling. 
Too tall, perhaps, too strong-jawed, or short-haired — anything that one patron, one witness, one supermarket or leisure centre security guard might consider cause to question their femininity. And how might they prove their “real” gender?
How would you? Perhaps my conception of feminism has been mis-calibrated all this time, and true freedom for women is mandating that they carry their birth certificates around with them all day, so they can be checked by citizen genital inspectors, male and female, encouraged to presume you’re a predator first, and work backwards from there.
