Capitalism's profit motive naturally drives the very rich & the corporations into buying politicians & controlling the media.

It's much cheaper for them to do that than the alternative of allowing
regulations that protect people & the planet,
taxation that shares wealth &
an informed democracy

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

"The Green Party had a particularly strong conference season under Polanski... with a bold platform of nationalisation of major utilities, a wealth tax and stronger environmental policy."

Power and wealth have taken our assets. We must take them back.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

One of the things I noticed when studying “hitler history” as an A’level topic was how many profoundly stupid people blundered into positions of incredible power which they abused & demeaned! (Also how many intelligent people served these idiots!) #DejaVu

The BBC's justification for platforming Farage beyond the actual significance of his small parliamentary party are his polls. A rather cynical explanation, for he wouldn't be where he is without the constant, uncritical appearances he's given on the BBC. It's a (literally) vicious circle.

A great day out at a beautiful venue @beechhillcountryhouse. Fantastic couple @maisiemunro & @lhol2707. Brilliant job by bridal (@ejhafer, Niamh, @theoneillmunro, Caoimhe, @kateonll and Isabelle) party and the groomal party! Very proud father and mother of the bride @aejcon!
5 bridesmaids in pink stand to the left of the bride in white. Father and mother of the bride and man of honour to the brides right. Bride and groom standing in a forest ceremony clearing. To the brides left three bridesmaids and the man of honour are seared and leaning into the shot. Bride and groom stand in front of the window cutting a two tiered cake!

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.
The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn
) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

“The second anyone suggests that a man whose entire political career has been devoted to attacking migrants and making discriminatory comments about non-white people, might be a racist, all hell breaks loose”

Enough. Farage is a racist menace. We must say so.

Nigel Farage Is a Racist

The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

Nigel Farage is a racist. That is my honestly held opinion based on absolutely everything he has said and done since entering politics in the late nineties.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

In Poland authorities have captured a Russian intelligence operative carrying explosive-filled cans, drone components, and SIM cards. In Lithuania, explosives were discovered in a cemetery.

All part of a big Russian plot to commit terrorist attacks across Europe.
Rosyjski wywiad ukrył materiały wybuchowe na cmentarzu. Podejrzane puszki wjechały do Polski
Kurier rosyjskiego wywiadu wojskowego GRU odbierał polecenia: kup łopatę, jedź na cmentarz, wykop puszki, zostaw niedaleko Łodzi. Puszki idealnie pasują do uchwytów mocowanych do dronów.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

I love this line in the review, it rings so true

“teenagers, full of hormones, lust and stubbornness”

While antiheroes have their pros, that isn’t the same as objectionable main characters!

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA
