    Grateful to the mods for keeping the immigrant haters in check throughout this sub, especially in the UK asylum seekers post.

    The part that irks me is that their nonsense nativist talking points were getting incredibly upvoted. Nativists. In this sub!

    Remember neolibs: if you see something, say something. Nativists out out out!

    Leaving the US for the first time really later this year, going to go to Krakow for around 9 days. Any advice?

    > electricity prices are expected to rise 40 to 120 per cent once Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act subsidies expire

    Uhh what

  4. >U.S. immigration officials worked with Iran to deport Iranians in 2025, newly released emails show. Some deportees were handpicked by Iranian officials, emails show. Eleven Iranians in immigration detention said they were forced to meet with Iranian government officials while in ICE detention. Those Iranian authorities knew intimate details about their asylum claims, according to the sworn declarations filed in a Washington, D.C., court in July

    Jesus

  5. I will never understand the pissed off English living across Europe who are now being deported. You knew Brexit was coming for five years and had in most countries 2-3 years to file for permanent status. Had you been living long enough you had the ability to file for citizenship in those 5 years too very easily. I know in Spain many couldn’t file but that’s because they were committing outright tax fraud.

    All other immigrants have two week deadlines and the English are still acting like they didn’t Brexit.

    >In 2023, Ms. Harp sent a series of letters to Mr. Trump that unnerved people around him, according to a half-dozen people with knowledge of them. “You are all that matters to me,” she wrote in one of the letters, which were seen by The New York Times. The letters’ authenticity was confirmed by two people with direct knowledge of them. “I don’t ever want to let you down,” Ms. Harp wrote, thanking Mr. Trump for being her “Guardian and Protector in this Life.” In another letter, she told Mr. Trump that she wanted to get back to “that synergy” she used to have with him, where “we’d talk about everything and nothing.” “I want to bring you joy,” she wrote, “to feel like we can get through a day without ever having to talk ‘work.’”

    Very normal assistant to a President behavior.

  7. >Israel’s military for the first time ​acknowledged on Wednesday that its troops had opened fire on a car carrying 5-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab and her family members in Gaza ‌in 2024. The IDF previously had denied its troops had been in the area near where she was ​killed for two years

    Just way too many false or inaccurate denials from the IDF over the past few years

  8. I do wonder why all these DSA (adjacent) types feel the pathological need to appear on fox news with absolutely 0 media training. I imagine itbis a combination of an attempt at clip farming and truely believing the average brainwashed con is just one good defense of the labor theory of value away from becoming an marxist (they don’t have a job).

    It is a great boon though, multiple Ws for libs because of this like the whole arr antiwork thing collapsing or Hong destroying her own candidacy (not on fox but still)

    > A couple on a Japanese bullet train noticed a passenger trying to photograph Mt. Fuji from across the aisle, so they ducked down without being asked to give him a clear shot

    lmao the most thing, japan thing ever

  10. Rocks wanted me to tell you all that the Greeks were right and he’s currently burning in the underworld
