MacFarlane: We are near the new gold-plated statues the Trump administration unveiled near Memorial Circle, Memorial Bridge, and the Lincoln Memorial. It’s really, really gold.…

It sends a couple of messages, though, some of which may not be good for the Trump administration: that this was a priority, that this type of gold plating was a priority at a time of soaring costs, when people can’t afford groceries, medical bills, college, or a house.

All of the banks that did business with Trump & his kids knew he was laundering money for decades. It was one of the worst kept secrets in NYC. Right behind his sexual predation & Melania’s former occupation. Trump exists because of greed & criminality and not only his own.

During last Saturday's far right demo in Taunton organised by Somerset patriots, a Far right teacher who gave a racist speech has been identified as Brenda Rose/Heal.

Brenda is a member of the Learning Support staff at Crispin School academy located on Church Road, Street, Somerset.

She works with vulnerable children.

She was heard complaining about the number of Black and Asian children attending the school.

According to Brenda, children of colour simply getting the same education as everyone else is too much for her.

Brenda also spent an entire summer in Exeter last year harassing refugees and asylum seekers at a local hotel.

The school is aware of her racist conduct and they’re investigating the matter.

You can add pressure on the school and report on this email address: [email protected] (mark FAO Safeguarding or Senior Leadership)

So Irish Examiner journalist Alison O’Reilly hears a solicitor, Gavin Booth say that the suspect in the car bomb case ‘spent time in Saoradh.’ She, being kind, misheard him and reports it as time in Syria. The misreporting (still up, btw) goes around the world and media shrugs…

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

🚨BREAKING: Men posed as ICE agents and detained and assaulted a woman… and Tom Homan is telling everyone that they just have to comply with this.

A woman was driving on Highway 211, in Oregon, when a vehicle with flashing red and blue lights pulled behind her.

Believing she was being stopped by law enforcement, she pulled over.

Two men approached her vehicle, one was carrying a rifle, and they claimed to be ICE agents and told her she was being detained.

They pulled her out of her car, searched her, and put her in the back of their vehicle.

Then, a third man… who remained inside the vehicle… assaulted her.

He told her he was the “guard.”

The men were wearing tactical vests labeled “POLICE,” carrying fake badges, and wore face coverings.

They held her for nearly 20 minutes before telling her she was free to go… and then she drove herself to the hospital.

And while she was there, she reported that she started receiving text messages from someone claiming to be a law firm offering legal representation for her detention.

Federal authorities later confirmed this was NOT an official ICE operation… These were people pretending to be federal agents.

And this is exactly why Tom Homan telling people to “comply” with anyone claiming to be ICE is so incredibly dangerous.

Because what is a person supposed to do when someone in a tactical vest, carrying a gun, pulls them over with flashing lights and says they are federal agents?

Just trust them?

This is not about telling people to resist legitimate law enforcement.

This is about the government normalizing a system where anyone can look like an armed federal agent, claim to have authority over you, and expect you to obey without being able to verify who they are.

That doesn’t make people safer.

It makes everyone more vulnerable to being kidnapped, assaulted, or killed by criminals who know they can pretend to be ICE.

Police arrest woman protesting ICE—for holding sign on public sidewalk.

Video clearly shows woman just peacefully standing quietly.

"I do not consent to be searched!" she yells as male officers take everything off her.

Her sign reads: "Nobody is free until we are all free."

Incident occurred outside the ICE processing facility in Broadview, Illinois.

Donald Trump’s reported nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia is "bonkers hypocrisy" - because "the very point" America went to war with Iran was to stop its nuclear ambitions, Channel 4 News’ Matt Frei says.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

The USA a few weeks ago murdered 180 kids just like this.

As they sat in school a missile blew them to pieces.

Trump still denies it and sat here smiling.

But now it's "let's believe in love" - tomorrow we will murder more kids in Gaza & Iran.

🚨This video is terrifying.

And it’s another example of how ICE is making everyone less safe.

At Las Vegas International Airport, two people, in plain clothes, are seen trying to handcuff a man.

The man is screaming for help.

When the person filming asks a TSA agent what is happening, the agent replies, “It’s law enforcement.”

But when the person filming walks over and starts recording the people claiming to be law enforcement, one of them tries to swat the phone away.

Then, as more people begin watching, they get up and leave.

The man is left with a handcuff still attached to one of his wrists. He is visibly shaken and says they stole his belongings.

Think about how dangerous this is.

The government is normalizing armed agents, in plain clothes, grabbing people in public, without immediately identifying themselves in a way bystanders can verify. That creates confusion, panic, and makes it impossible for ordinary people to know whether they’re witnessing a lawful arrest, or a kidnapping.

In this case, people intervened… They started asking questions, and filming.

If no one had stepped in, who knows what would have happened to that man.

A government that expects people to simply accept unidentified agents, taking someone away without question, is making every person in this country less safe.

It's pretty crazy how the President of the United States had to pay a woman nearly 6 million dollars for assaulting her in a department store dressing room and it already vanished from the news cycle after only 24 hours

China laying bare the brutal facts:

Donald Trump:
"It is costing us $2 billion a day to reopen the Strait of Hormuz"

China's Foreign Minister:
"The Strait was open before the war. The root of the problem lies in your illegal operations against Iran; you created a global crisis out of nothing"

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are now kidnapping Native grandmothers in Chaparral, New Mexico.

A Native woman pulled into a gas station because she realized she was being followed by a truck. Moments later, ICE agents surrounded her and escorted her to one of their vehicles.

This is a woman whose ancestors lived on this land for thousands of years before the United States even existed.

A Native woman, on her own ancestral land, being treated like a foreigner by the federal government in 2026.

The Fourth Amendment protects people from being unreasonably stopped or detained, and the federal government cannot lawfully target people simply because of their race or ethnicity.

So why did ICE agents stalk and kidnap this woman?

This stopped being about immigration a long time ago.
