MPs demand end to tax havens Three MPs from across the progressive political parties have demanded action from the British Government after The Ecologist revealed that the British territory Bermuda is at the centre of worldwide oil industry tax dodging. The Labour MP Clive Lewis responded to revelations published here by submitting a motion to Parliament, calling on the Foreign Office to launch an investigation into how it can stop British territories being used by the oil industry to shield the record profits they are receiving as result of Iran war oil price hikes from tax. SIGN UP FOR THE ABOLISH WESTMINSTER NEWSLETTER The investigation has been co-published by The Ecologist, the Byline Times and the Abolish Westminster newsletter and has revealed, among other things, that Bermuda is at the centre of the global oil industryโ€™s tax avoidance strategy.

Daniel Bice, veteran Wisconsin political reporter and columnist, dies at 62 Daniel Bice, who worked for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for 33 years, died from complications of esophageal cancer on April 21, his birthday.

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

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."

Moment Nigel Farage henchmen manhandle disabled OAP in parking row Henchmen working for the divisive Reform leader were seen on camera manhandling a retired engineer who was trying to park in a disabled spot to drop off his wife in Shetland

Farage thugs manhandle man with pacemaker after he objects to the Reform leader's chauffeur parking in disabled bay that he needs to use.

Lovely People.

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.

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.

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.
