ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

The White House knows they can call the press names, denigrate reporters, all of it — because those same reporters and mainstream outlets are in on the scam. They get access and scoops and book deals and career advancement by cozying up to the people who publicly abuse them. They don’t care.

This is now at 93,000. At 100k it'll get a debate in Parliament. I suspect most ppl in here want to see them out of politics and out of the UK.
That includes Farage and Reform Ltd.

Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.

Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.

This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

Russia illegally invaded a democracy, Ukraine. I will never get over the fact that Trump wants Ukraine to give Russia more land that it has succeeded in taking over in the last four years of the war.

I keep coming back to the belief that Putin has some horribly damaging information about Trump.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

We went from US media once attacking President Biden over his age and condemning President Obama for daring to wear a tan suit in the briefing room to them actively normalizing a criminal for over a decade as he threatens to murder Democrats. They deliberately failed democracy.
