Why are people who look like me called "prisoners" when they get kidnapped, but the people who resemble Europeans are called "hostages" ... and then in the same breath, I'll get accused of being "woke" or "radical" or even "antisemitic" just for bringing this up because the answer is uncomfortable.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

STARMER’S LABOUR IS IN THE SHIT!

It’s a measure of its desperation that it’s had to mention Brexit, the forbidden word, not because of the enormous damage Brexit’s done and is doing, but because it wants to blame Farage’s Brexit for the small boats.

“Kidnapped from a tank during a battle with Hamas” — one of the most nonsensical sentences on UK tv ever.

So you mean he was a z1o terr0r1st illegally invading Gaza in a tank, attacking civilians.

And he was THAT incompetent he was taken prisoner from inside said tank.....🤡

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.

The whole point of human rights law is that the Government can be held to account when they breach people's rights.

If the Home Secretary doesn't like it, that's why she needs to hear it.

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 18h

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Who told you that? You only look at this from the wests POV. Gorbachev was TOLD EMPHATICALLY by James Baker that NATO would not move one inch CLOSER to Russia after the fall of the Berlin wall. How much closer to Russia is NATO today? The US wouldn't stand for Russian Missiles in Toronto, THINK FGS.

No, the purpose of taxes is to reduce consumption, control inflation, create demand for sovereign currency, prevent inappropriate behaviour/influence. Currency creation by ALL banks is for support of the public. Govt should be directly influencing people’s lives. Taxation is money destruction only.

And NATO had a duty to say no if it didn’t want the reaction from Russia the west is getting. NATO along with the USA has one agenda hold on to power. You can’t expect no pushback because you were top dogs for 80 years. 800 bases in 70 countries, how many more will Russia/China stand for? None.
