I didn't know Daniel Bice, but I cited his work a LOT. Wisconsin elections won't be the same without him.

Picture of police in Manchester protecting far-right protesters, but worryingly setting horses on anti-racists.
From @thecanaryuk.bsky.social on #Instagram:
"Shocking scenes in #Manchester as police use horses and pepper spray to repress the anti-racists - while #FarRight Britain First are free to march through one of the most cities in the UK, without recourse."

Only 75 ! โฆ this is shameful.
Have the rest no moral compass or sense of repugnance for the war crimes that Israel is perpetrating.
Are the rest all Zionists? Questions need to be asked!
And neither the #Tories or #Labour did anything about it, they simply don't bloody care!
They're NOT on our side.

A clear eyed look at why Europe needs Ukraine. Well worth the 8 minutes to watch.
Trump dismisses Epstein's "victims, the women or whatever," and claims they "didn't want to go under oath." Survivors don't ever owe the world proof of their pain. It's the abusers who should be swearing under oath.

From a friendโs Facebook page. Perfect. ๐
A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.
I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.
Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.
Really? Shame on Jeffries? WTF dude. He got everyone but this one turd. And maybe if you know anything about this turd, you would know this is how this coward votes! With Republicans. He's not a real Democrat. DINO! Maybe attack this POS instead?

U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after she called his remarks about Pope Leo XIV "unacceptable"
Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.
This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.
Today I introduced a joint resolution to halt all data center construction in SC.
We need a responsible, transparent plan before moving forward.
This is about getting it right.
