When will #MAGA shills realise that praising #Trump and #Ice will not protect them when the leopards come to eat their face? From #Latinos of Florida to Minnesota's #Somalis and #Arabs for #Trump, they've all eaten humble pie, but still some (esp undocumented) folks don't learn.
Pro-ICE conservative blogger Samuel Sey (@slowtowrite), a prominent figure on the evangelical right, has himself been arrested and held for potential ICE deportation.
Can't believe what I've just seen! @joshk97 is the new mile world record holder with 3.42.66, wiping the name of the legendary @elguerrouj32600 from the record books after 27 years. Next stop his 1500m record? What a privilege to witness that!! #londondiamondleague. – at Hackney, London
A full house at the @LondonStadium for the @_Novuna #diamondleague, the biggestathletics meeting in the world. 60,000 track & field fans - no wonder athletes are desperate to perform here! All we need now are some world records from @keelyhodgkinson, @joshk97 and @mondohoss600! – at Hackney, London
Well, that sure was a captain's innings from @HKane! Maybe his many detractors will finally retire. After the recent foolishness from #schweinsteiger and #bogdanović, hats off to @DemocraticCongo for a performance that confounded the tired old anti-African stereotypes. #ENGDRC – at Lambeth, London
One key lesson our coach drummed into us at the age of 12 was give your man some options. That meant running into space. @England fail to do this. @DemocraticCongo are adventurous & disciplined. Precisely the opposite of what those German and Serb commentators said the other day. – at Lambeth, London
It got pretty intense on @JeremyVineOn5 as @theJeremyVine, @lara_e_brown and I discussed the political response to the brutal murder of #HenryNowak. Have the police over-corrected because they fear being called racist, or are #Farage & co using a tried and tested playbook?
"There are plenty of opportunists out to make capital out of this."
@bonsuman says history is repeating itself as Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson seek to use the Henry Nowak case to tell white people that equity is a loss for them.

Sounds like things haven't changed much since #Lithuanian football "fans" tried to hound @BigBadAdebayo out of their country. @LithuaniaMFA, where do you stand on this shameful story?

"The £5m gift to Farage is likely to raise fresh questions for the Reform leader, given what he said in the run-up to the last election". If this stuff is emerging 3 years from the next General Election, imagine what may come out as we get closer. #Farage

The day after more Brits run the @LondonMarathon than ever before, today we learn from @BBCNews that
"UK healthy life expectancy falls by two years in past decade". We really are a divided nation in more ways than you think. #healthy #longevity

"Afrikaners were at the heart of the apartheid system of white minority rule from 1948-1994, leading to decades of hostility between them and South Africa's Black majority. Wow, @PBS, this is one of the most benign takes on the hell of Afrikaner apartheid.

This @Wimbledon ladies singles final is a disaster. #Anisimova is crushed by the weight of the occasion. This could be over within an hour... Another reason to have the women play best of 5 in the grand slams - at least in the semis and the final. Sad.
As #bellingham might say, when it comes to the big time, "who else"!? #laurenjames
GOAL! THE LIONESSES LEAD! ⚽️
Lauren James, what a screamer! And a beautiful pass from Hannah Hampton. Perfect. 🔥

Another day, another s**show at @NetworkRailEUS. As ever, no explanation, no direction, and everyone is bewildered. For one of our key transport hubs to be so lacking resilience, 20 years after #7/7, the mind boggles...
We know that the @ukhomeoffice can be a heartless organisation, but keeping a £3K health surcharge from a man whose wife died before coming to the UK is surely next level. theguardian.com/politics/202…
First tweet for ages, but this occasion demands it! What a match between two great sportswomen. #coco #champion #RolandGarros
