Good. Stop enabling the fascist #Trump regime’s #ExtrajudicialKillings
#UK suspends some #intelligence sharing with #US over boat strikes in major break
The #UnitedKingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the #Caribbean because it does not want to be #complicit in US #military strikes & believes the attacks are #illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The filing hit many of the same notes as a similar motion filed last month by fmr FBI dir #JamesComey, who is charged w/ lying to Congress & has asked the judge overseeing his case to dismiss it.
Both Comey’s indictment & the one against #LetitiaJames were secured by the same prosecutor— #LindseyHalligan, Eastern District of Virginia interim #USattorney whom #Trump installed in the post after her predecessor, Erik Siebert, refused to move forward with the cases, citing a lack of evidence.
Other career prosecutors in the office had also reached that conclusion, some of whom have since been fired. #Comey & James are both also pursuing motions seeking the dismissal of their cases on grounds that #LindseyHalligan’s appointment was #illegal. A judge has scheduled a hearing next week to weigh arguments on that front.

They pay the same taxes and should receive the same benefits ( #illegal ).
A federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday indefinitely barred the #Trump administration from firing #FederalWorkers during the government #shutdown.
US District Judge Susan Illston granted a preliminary injunction [ #PI] that bars the firings while a lawsuit challenging them plays out. She had previously issued a temporary restraining order [ #TRO] against the job cuts that was set to expire Wednesday.

Illston has said she believes the evidence will ultimately show the #MassFirings were #illegal & in excess of authority.
The #Trump admin has slashed #jobs in #education, #health & other areas it says are favored by #Democrats. The admin has also said it will not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through #SNAP flowing into November.

#GazaProtests #UK #FreedomOfSpeech = #Illegal
#UKpolitics has gone completely mad !
While [white supremacist] racist can roam the streets giving NAZI-saluts and threatening muslims. A Palestine doctor gets arrested for speaking her mind. And possibly loses her license to practice medicine. Apparently the NHS has enough personel.
Beating up a Muslim is not as bad as having an opinion.

British-Palestinian NHS doctor Rahmeh Aladwan was arrested by UK police on October 21 for voicing criticism of Israel’s war on Gaza and joining pro-Palestine protests.
Her arrest came just two days before a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service hearing that will decide whether she can continue to practise medicine in the UK."

How #Trump Used 10 #Emergency Declarations to Justify Hundreds of [otherwise #illegal] Actions
In his 7 months back in office, Trump has declared 9 #national emergencies, plus a “crime emergency” in #Washington. Those emergency declarations have been used to justify hundreds of actions—including #immigration measures, sweeping #tariffs & #energy #deregulation —that would typically require #congress approval or lengthy regulatory review….

This is a brave guy. I love that he just keeps saying "No" to them, keeping the windows and doors of his car closed, while filming their illegal actions and frustrating the crap out of them. 👍
Just resist all these fascists #ICE motherfuckers and give them hell.
(And a good job by the only real policeman on the scene. 👏 )

“It’s catastrophic,” said Jodi Grant, executive director of the Afterschool Alliance, a group that works to expand after-school services for #students. She estimated that the federal dollars for after-school & summer-school programs — about $1.3 billion annually — support 1.4 million students, mostly lower income, representing about 20% of all students in after-school programs nationally.
The move is likely to be challenged in #court & has already been criticized [correctly characterized] as #illegal by #Democrats & #teachers’ #unions, who emphasized that the money had been appropriated by #Congress & was approved by #Trump in March as part of a broader #funding bill.
“This is lawless,” said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
