Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.

Would someone ask Farage or Badenoch or any of our flag-draped tabloid editors what they would say to the families of the 457 British soldiers who gave their lives in Afghanistan?
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Didn’t you say that Cartland’s hearing wouldn’t reconvene and he wouldn’t be erased. How did that work out for you Sheller? 😂

Ok people, guess how old he is! 😬

hi @uaw.org, do you confirm or deny that Shawn Fain called Lutnick and glazed Trump?
Lutnick: "UAW is on side. Shawn Fain, who runs the UAW, he actually called me and said, 'I can't believe I'm calling a Republican secretary of commerce to say thank God for you guys. You guys care about the American worker.'"

Donald has been posting unhinged, incoherent ramblings for a decade now, but his recent threats against sovereign nations brings us into totally new and dangerous territory.

It’s time to start asking Republicans why they continue to back a man who is so obviously out of his mind.

They claim they’re putting personal ambition aside and defecting to Reform to help fix the country.
To stop that pisstaking farce, they should be made to hold by-elections in their constituencies and let the voters decide if that’s ok with them. Please sign.

What is the best alternative to Audible in the UK?

I listen to about a book and a half a week.

Crime, sci-fi, drama, science and random stuff that pops up.

European solutions preferred, and not Spotify.
