A serial #car #thief has been sent to #jail and banned from #driving after stealing and crashing an #EV converted #VW #Kombi ( Typ2) in #Powys #Wales worth £65 000 as he couldn't handle the vehicles acceleration and skidded on manure on a country road (alas, the vehicle was written off)

(incidentally this seems to be a *really* quick turnaround for a Crown #Court case, from #arrest (and #remand) to jail barely within a month?)

A 52 year old #Welshman has been #arrested for racially aggratvated public disorder for flying a #Nazi #swastika flag in a village in #Rhondda valley #Wales

Someone the same age as myself who harbours such views has very likely been doing so since a teenager, and probably felt emboldened to do this in the current climate...

“This is the Trump administration desperate to meet the goals that it’s set to carry out its mass deportation agenda. But he’s having trouble reaching those numbers, because he doesn’t have the manpower and the infrastructure to actually rip away people who have years and years of life in our communities and are deeply entwined.” texasobserver.org/local-state-

The Texas Observer · Local and State Police Are Joining Trump's 'Deportation Force'Texas law enforcement agencies and others around the nation are reviving a long-dead "task force" program that led to racial profiling in the past.

My latest: Last year, I covered the chaos as a peaceful protest for #Palestine at the University of Texas at #Austin was attacked by state troopers and local police. Unknown to me, a respected UT professor I'd interviewed for other stories was also there, and was about to have an encounter with cops that would cost him his career.

Today, Austin Free Press is releasing video from that incident showing the trooper deliberately shoving him multiple times. austinfreepress.org/days-of-ra

Town #elections today. There's basically never a choice of people--exactly as many people run as there are slots to fill.

But on budget items I have a policy

1. Vote *for* everything that will cost money because it is almost certainly the better option and will also piss off #fascists...

2. ...vote *against* anything the #police want

Let them have a bake sale for once.

🚨 The UK Crime and Policing Bill will create a vast facial recognition database of over 55 million driving licences and ban face coverings at protest 👁️

This would be the biggest biometric database ever created in the UK for policing.

With other rights groups, we're telling politicians to stop the expansion of police surveillance powers 🚫

One Community Response Team officer swerved into a motorcyclist, killing him. Another needlessly stopped a pedestrian, then shoved him into a car window. A third hit a man and then kicked his head.

From Malpensa to Tel Aviv: Italian police use Israeli software to spy on anti-deportation activsts

„Police violence is about more than batons. It also manifests itself through interference and encroachment into private life. Police have always used an odious set of tools to achieve this. They follow people’s movements and observe and listen to their daily lives.

Today, however, access by police forces and governments to confidential, detailed and sensitive information can be much more pervasive than one might imagine. The spyware system Paragon, that has recently come to light, is one example of this. The services provided by the Israeli company Cellebrite are another, albeit different, example.

We have written this text because we believe it may help people protect themselves from the pervasive surveillance by the authorities. We invite you to share it widely.…“
